Chemically Imbalanced

[Verse 1]

I'm on the edge, one step and I'll be over

Unless I take those 12 steps, aimed at gettin sober

That's the shit I told myself I'll handle when I'm older

And now I'm older and still got this devil on my shoulder

Bottle up my problems, like prescriptions I'm poppin

All the liquor that I find myself drinkin so often

Now these cards are dealt, told myself I don't need help

Numb myself to everything, and keep on runnin from myself

[Hook]

Let's drink away the pain

Let's make another toast

Let's smoke another blunt

Until it's just a roach

And pop another pill

And drop another dose

I haven't lost it yet

But now I'm coming close

I'm just chemically imbalanced (On that shit)

I'm just chemically imbalanced (Lost my grip)

I'm just chemically imbalanced (One way trip)

And now it's too late for turnin back (x5)

[Verse 2]

Left here to battle this addictive personality

That's got me living in this alternate reality

Losing touch with what is real ever so gradually

Cause at this point I need these chemicals to balance me

It's like I'm following a blueprint that the devil made

Since I first took my Ritalin in the 7th grade

The doctor gave me 60 milligrams, just a kid

Barely weighed a buck, it's like they used me as their guinea pig

Crazy teen, medicated ADD

Doctor said take only 1, but you know I was taking 3

Blazin tree and skippin class, getting drunk and missin math

Bangin chicks without a rubber, crushin pills up on the dash

Chemically imbalanced in this motherfucker, startin shit

Still I was a smart kid, got myself a scholarship

Private schools with it,  button-downs with the dockers

And the JanSport full of weed stuffed into my locker

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

See I was blacking out weekly, livin on repeat

Still in highschool but the teachers could never reach me

Always was the fuck up with a chip on my shoulder

And a pocket full of anything to keep me from sober

See I was livin like there's no tomorrow

Chewin on a xany bar, rollin up the window smokin blunts up in family car

Bottles to the head, got detention on the reg

Never listenin to what my parents said

I was always rollin with an ounce or two

Everytime I'm bouncin through

Flippin everybody off like Shady taught me how to do

Always thinkin that the more we burnin, the merrier

Just a kid from middle-class suburban America

And so many others like me, listen to me nightly

Happy that somebody else is feelin' what they might be

So Christian pop a pill, oh yeah I bet you will

Cause if that shit don't make your problems any less forreal

[Hook]
