in the mind of the wicked
From one corner to the next
I gotta get my tec
i'm just a huge mess
cause my reaction is a reckless
Don't want to get help
im being look at
judged at
and labeled
I don't want to be labeled
labeled a crazy
and put in restraints
against my will
I want the voices out and not like this
not like this.
and not like that
treated like a human
Not in a cage
Mental health is true
and i'm a victim in its game
and the game isn’t a gain
but in a campaign
does it really need to be debated
if i get treatment or not
and get the blame for being the victim
They want the crime down
but don’t want to heal it
they want to blame the poor
when it's not just one’s fault
Please people stand up
and fight for the funds
and for the staff
to get our care done.
