The Diary
(V1.)
Dear diary I'm having alot of problems,
I try writing shit out with the hope that it will solve them/
And it's the only thing that I can really do,
It's kinda like self councilling cus there's no one else to talk to/
Family's there but I don't implore them,
I could talk to my kin but I choose to ignore them/
I think they think that I'm delirious,
And I smoke too much so they never take me serious/
Sometimes I'm feeling like I'm truely slowly loosin' it,
My heads on straight but got some lose screws in it/
I am always thinking too hard and too deep,
To the point where I lie in bed and don't even sleep/
I sit and wonder if it's really worth trying,
We might as well face it we were all born dying/
All I got's my rhyme book in my right hand
And it's the diary of a madman/

(CHORUS)
Since the days I began with this book in my hand,
Had to make a gameplan to invent my own brand/
Nothing boring or bland so I took my stand,
A one man band and the diary of a madman/
I got shit canned never made no grands
Except tatting with my hands or freight getting scanned/
Your attention spans throw them in the trashcan
Cus nobody can stand what's in the diary of a madman/


(V2.)
Dear Diary I put the shit behind me,
I know I'm here somewhere but I can't find me/
Try to be a dad but I'm feelin' like a drug dealer,
On the for reala yer mom thinks that I'm raising a killer/
And that they're ain't no changing me,
It used to be easy but now I'm re-arranging me/
Cus I can't roll up on her boyfriend now,
With brass knuckles to the mouth and beat his fucking brains out/
No doubt responsibilites awaken,
Even though I wanna flow with human nature/
But if you wanna scrap come scrap me
I fucking slap ya like your great grand pappy/
I ain't doing no bids and no time,
Gotta think about the kid so i did it in a rhyme/
But still I can be badder than bad can,
The 2nd entry from the diary of a madman/

(CHORUS)
Since the days I began with this book in my hand,
Had to make a gameplan to invent my own brand/
Nothing boring or bland so I took my stand,
A one man band and the diary of a madman/
I got shit canned never made no grands
Except tatting with my hands or freight getting scanned/
Your attention spans throw them in the trashcan
Cus nobody can stand what's in the diary of a madman/

(V2.)
Dear Diary help me cus I'm frantic,
Sometimes I think I'm going schizophrenic/
I can't talk to my friends for instance,
I feel like they're always off in the distance/
Then again I wear a blindfold,
staring at the world even though i got my eyes closed/
To myself I'm a stranger,
And the older I get I feel closer to danger/
But still got a long path ahead of me,
I Gotta get somewhere cus here everyone's scared of me/
And I ain't praying for forgiveness,
And I ain't looking for pity cus I can handle my business/
Used to write for fun although I write for me,
I used to write from the heart but now I'm writing from my (in)sanity/
I had a spouse but she fired me,
My wife walked off now I'm living in my diary/
