[Intro: Tech N9ne, Kaitlyn Toepperwein, Sierra Flaugher & Jayla Kearney]
We are the people that had it rough
Never was easy but it was tough
We got fed up and we had enough
Now we rejoice
Comfortable out my the state of mind
Out of the dark on my way to shine
Get in my way and you'll pay the fine
You make a choice
[Tech N9ne]
This is for everyone that doubted
We rejoicing 'cause we lived to tell about it, hey
Happy we got the shit re-routed
And now it's time to yell and scream about it, hey
[Verse 1: Phlaque The Grimstress]
Even though I'm a single mom and I do it all by myself
All that drama bad for my health
I'm just maximizing my wealth
Even though I was all outside, now I'm ridin' real stealth
I don't play the cards that I'm dealt, I'll just beat yo ass with my belt
Even though I was a black sheep, back then it wasn't that sweet
They say "Don't Leave" like Blackstreet
But I ran away like a track meet, I mean a athlete
Can't compete nor compare, it's a fact see
Because you puffed like cracked wheat
Test my gangsta it'll be a wrap sheet
Even though I wear my heart on my sleeve
Only a fool thinks I'm naive
Snatch my energy, it's guaranteed to watch you beg and plead
Water seeds, my crops pop, now I'm rakin' with ease, so take heed
Fall in a hole you thought you dug for me, please believe
[Pre-Chorus: Phlaque The Grimstress]
Even though I was hacked in a nightmare
It took over me like Linda Blair
Had to adapt and rebuke it with a silent prayer
Meditating to the night air
[Chorus: Tech N9ne, Kaitlyn Toepperwein, Sierra Flaugher & Jayla Kearney]
Yes I'm happy happy to be mentally fucked up
We made it through the fire, babe
I said I'm happy happy to be mentally fucked up
And headed to the brighter day
Yes I'm happy happy to be mentally fucked up
We made it through the fire, babe
I said I'm happy happy to be mentally fucked up
And headed to the brighter day
[Verse 2: Tech N9ne]
Even though the sports plot failed
Thought I was really gonna box, well
'Til that day I got knocked, fell
And saw knot heaven and got hell
Even though I can barely see but don't got braille
Even though I drank Caribou Lou for decades 'til I heard Doc yell "Get on mocktails!"
Even though I used to spark loc's, wearin' red on my stark coat
Even though my love letters used to be heartfelt I got heartbroke
Even though I do not swim where the sharks float like smart folk
I did dumb shit in school and all the people laughed at me like a fart joke
Even though I had a beeper, all that called me was tweakers
Even though when at school for blow, the girl topped me off under bleachers
Even though my mother boyfriend came in drunk at night and then beat her
Even though I visited mom in psychiatric wards after having grand mal seizures
Even though I got people switchin' on me
Ain't never hearin' none of the "bring me back", you bitchin' homie
Even though I be gettin' lonely dissin' phonies
Givin' off positive energy is my mission only
[Chorus: Tech N9ne, Kaitlyn Toepperwein, Sierra Flaugher & Jayla Kearney]
Yes I'm happy happy to be mentally fucked up
We made it through the fire, babe
I said I'm happy happy to be mentally fucked up
And headed to the brighter day
Yes I'm happy happy to be mentally fucked up
We made it through the fire, babe
I said I'm happy happy to be mentally fucked up
And headed to the brighter day
[Verse 3: Zkeircrow]
Even though this place seems so cursed
Gotta make my way, see no church
Heaven ain't this great, evil lurks
Hesitate to stay, can it be worse?
Man, the voices are deafening
So the choices I make are forsakened and threatening
Everready like Tecca Nin'
'Cause the ex that I left is upset like Coretta King
Yeah, aye, exposing turbulence slow
Let that burn a hole in your soul
Big pill, take a swill, conceal then let it go
Crow got kids to raise so I'll spit 'til my last breath
Babymomma wanna get paid, No K, audit me like the IRS
Even though everything everywhere all at once
No shit but the kitchen sink
Gotta self diagnose through the pain and the nightmares
No time for a nigga to blink
It's all crazy talk and stranger than things in Hawkins, instant madness
Better not look away, the insane's calling, stop living in persistent sadness
Even though we gotta smile through the bullshit
Even though we act wild in the pulpit
Even though they watch me through the whole store
Even though I'm papi, she could still hoe
Even though I got fans, they could still burn
Even though I got plans, they could still turn
Even though they take aim to scar us
I'ma still keep the flame, dracarys!
[Chorus: Tech N9ne, Kaitlyn Toepperwein, Sierra Flaugher & Jayla Kearney]
Yes I'm happy happy to be mentally fucked up
We made it through the fire, babe
I said I'm happy happy to be mentally fucked up
And headed to the brighter day
Yes I'm happy happy to be mentally fucked up
We made it through the fire, babe
I said I'm happy happy to be mentally fucked up
And headed to the brighter day
[Outro: Tech N9ne]
"I had something on the album that said
Message to the mentally disturbed, don't kill yourself or anyone else. Stay here with us, your time to shine is coming, trust"
