I think I lost my mind in 1999,
And it hasn’t found its way back.
Really took a lot for me to say that,
But my sentiments remain—
Took a whole pandemic just for me to go insane.

Watched my daddy hit my momma—ever since, I’ve been deranged.
Said I’d kick his *** if he ever did that **** again.
Over time, I just forgave him.

I’m way better than I was.
I learned to hug the ones I love.
If you know me,
You know all I want’s a million bucks.

They say, “Ask, and you shall receive,”
But I never believed in luck.

Ask, and you shall receive—
It’s just me and the Man above,
Working towards a dream.
I know where I’m ending up.

Sometimes, it’s never what it seems—
Fitting into a tailored tux.
