in AlbumStraight From The Vault

[INTRO]

I'm a little nutty and I know it

but if you go back and

take a look at my history

you will see that I'm

not the only one who's off his rocker

there were many before me

I was always labelled

the black sheep of the family what a bad seed I

grow to be but if you take a look

at us now you'll see the apple didn't fall too far from the tree

[VERSE 1]

(haha) alright, look

I'ma tell you the story

from my side maybe you'll understand check it out

you done witnessed

unexplainable shit

too insane to explain

people run from what

the just don't get

maybe Shady shoulda

just hit 'em with a little bit

did I spit too soon?

Should I of spoon fed 'em it?

but I was just so eager

to prove I was even worth

being in the same

league or the room with of the people

of whom I was in every now and then I

look up like I was seeking approval

was it because of the

pigment of my skin

or was it a figment of

my imagination

maybe it bothered me

more than it did them

maybe it wasn't a big

deal back then

but to me it was, see

what it was was

I had developed the

complex from being judged

Proof spit his verse,

now I'm next, let's see who

I'm in the booth

staring back to see who's mugs

I get a reaction from,

usually the first thumb was from

Proof

and the rest of the

group backed him up

and no one lied to

each other cause none of us had deals

it was real, we just

wanted tickets for that meal

[CHORUS]

Sometimes I feel like

it's just me

sometimes I feel like

I'm going crazy

but take a look at my

family

cause the apple don't

fall too far from the tree

I said ...

sometimes I feel like

it's just me

sometimes I feel like

I'm going crazy

but take a look at my

family

cause the apple don't

fall too far from the tree

[VERSE 2]

Ever since my mother

was pregnant

with her second egg

cause she said

that I had a baby sister

who fell out of the window

I was too young to remember

Kansas City projects

I was like 5, 6, and how come

I remember Malcolm,

Isaac, and Boogie

if it was the projects in Missouri?

cause those're my best

friends until Isaac

took my tricycle and

my uncle Todd went to try to go get it back

and ended up getting

jumped and cut in the gut with a

switch and 70-some stitches

which is still, to this day

why my mother still

tries to show me some old fake picture

of a fictitious little

sister who never existed and this is why part of

my life's so twisted

but I can never be as

sick as that bitch is

and, by the way, that

picture's one of my relatives

[CHORUS]

Sometimes I feel like

it's just me

sometimes I feel like

I'm going crazy

but take a look at my

family

cause the apple don't

fall too far from the tree

I said ...

sometimes I feel like

it's just me

sometimes I feel like

I'm going crazy

but take a look at my

family

cause the apple don't

fall too far from the tree

[VERSE 3]

You probably have to

peel back layers upon layers of

pain to see why everything

I say is so insane

what's different about my brain that separates me

from other players in this game? on the surface, it may

seem like a scheme or some sort of scam

for me to get some damn sympathy

but that's the last thing

I need is for people

to walk around feeling

sorry for me (me)

and I'm not a G, never

claimed to be

I gave my vest to

Cashis,

he'll need it more than me

but we'll see, cause we ain't lookin' for beef

but if it comes our

way, what do we, turn the other

cheek? come on

[CHORUS]

Sometimes I feel like

it's just me

sometimes I feel like

I'm going crazy

but take a look at my family

cause the apple don't

fall too far from the tree

I said ...

sometimes I feel like

it's just me

sometimes I feel like

I'm going crazy

but take a look at my

family

cause the apple don't

fall too far from the tree
