I remember who I was
I'm not goin' back where I started from
Don't look back, I'm gone
I remember who I was
I'm not goin' back where I started from
Don't look back, I'm gone
Light up, if you understand, and
Light up you feel where I'm comin' from, from
Light up, if you understand, and
Light up you feel where I'm comin' from, from
Turn my microphone up, this Hiphop for the grownups
Diagnosed bipolar, word to the Soul Controller
It don't matter, mind over matter, I'ma beat this
Peep this, to each his own, you in the bleachers
Me, I'm on the field, you feel me? Runnin' them yards, boy
Word to God, boy, satan can not beat the yahd bwoy
Me ha'd boy, it don't where I been, the cinnamon
Skin I'm in, proud of that, my past, I aint goin' back
My mind, sometimes, feels like a battlefield
War torn, there's a war goin' on
Inside my brain cells, psychologist tells
Me I need to see a psych
This what mental illness look like
I remember who I was
I'm not goin' back where I started from
Don't look back, I'm gone
I remember who I was
I'm not goin' back where I started from
Don't look back, I'm gone
Light up, if you understand, and
Light up you feel where I'm comin' from, from
Light up, if you understand, and
Light up you feel where I'm comin' from, from
Can you get this? Got to prioritize mental fitness
My peoples are sufferin', no Tylenol, no bufferin
Can fix the fix we in, this awful mix we in
Got the whole community mixed up, me, I picked up
On what I was advised, opened my eyes, took notes
Nightly, down my throat, swallow two depakotes
To get myself up out this funk, rid my thoughts of the gunk
Some self-medicate, to the detriment of their fate
Stand up, recognize yourself, realize yourself
Bipolar and mental illness, don't mean you aint a prize yourself
Sure as I stand here before you, I can assure you
Once you take that first step, you made the right move, yep
I remember who I was
I'm not goin' back where I started from
Don't look back, I'm gone
I remember who I was
I'm not goin' back where I started from
Don't look back, I'm gone
Light up, if you understand, and
Light up you feel where I'm comin' from, from
Light up, if you understand, and
