[Intro]
Why, why are all these voices in my mind?
(I have to write a song again)
(I have to remember to turn on the oven, to warm up the apartment)
(I hope Sevens okay, I wonder if he took his medicine)
I have to stop it
(I need to take my vitamins)
Why won't they stop?
Stop it
Why won't they stop?
Why is this happening to me?
Oh, whoa
[Verse 1]
Here's my philosophy
Livin' in a penitentiary
Brothers all on the corner
Tryin' to make believe
Turn around ain't got no pot to pee
Make me mad when I see ya sad
Can't stand to see ya hustle doin' bad
But you can't win when your will is weak
When you're knocked on the ground
[Bridge]
Evil, don't you test me
Evil, you won't win
Why, why are all these voices in my mind?
(I have to write a song again)
(I have to remember to turn on the oven, to warm up the apartment)
(I hope Sevens okay, I wonder if he took his medicine)
I have to stop it
(I need to take my vitamins)
Why won't they stop?
Stop it
Why won't they stop?
Why is this happening to me?
Oh, whoa
[Verse 1]
Here's my philosophy
Livin' in a penitentiary
Brothers all on the corner
Tryin' to make believe
Turn around ain't got no pot to pee
Make me mad when I see ya sad
Can't stand to see ya hustle doin' bad
But you can't win when your will is weak
When you're knocked on the ground
[Bridge]
Evil, don't you test me
Evil, you won't win
