They got me
They got me no
They got me
They got me
I'm trapped in this place
Not that place of Grace as I've been a case that's uncased
They said I raced as they chased and they faced my rage
Fighting, scratching and biting as I was shoved in the cage
They trucked me and stuck me in that medication haze
And now I eat Jell-O as I roam these halls in a daze
Baker's racked
Baker's racked as fast as you can
I tried to run away quicker than the ginger bread man
Baker's racked
Baker's racked
The heat of the moment gone
They told me my brain was using me as a pawn
I bellow as I put pieces of my memory together
Feeling like what happened was another life
Cause that ain't me
They said I was found wild eyed and held up in a tree
I committed arson, trashed bars and grand larceny
They said I was a thug manically providing the plug and
When they tried to front I spit in their mug
Coffee
The coffee has no damn caffeine in this place
That was the end of my fever dream
They asked have you put away that fiend
The one who fronts and took on the whole team
They said I was manic and then psychotic too
I said what the fuck? No way, that can't be true
But then I saw the tears in my Mamas eyes as she sighed and
I cried when we said our goodbyes
I wished that I hadn't disappointed my peeps because
Playing with your mind's eye is a game for keeps
They worried and they scurried the phone calls came in a flurry
But I was in no condition to offer any submission
They have me down remembering all the down in my crown
Much like the medication haze in this place I'm now found
The regrets of the smoke stacks and the facts of my past
Explained by a condition that led to collapse
They kept saying
Baker's racked
Baker's racked as fast as you can
I tried to run away quicker than the ginger bread man
Baker's racked
Baker's racked the heat of the moment passed
They told me without meds my brain wouldn't last
There wasn't much I could do but bid all those cameramen adieu and
Now I sit on this mattress in an anti-ligature risk stew
It feels like my whole life that I pretty much blew, even screwed
But before I knew it they began getting through to me
As I heard the voice that drew me out of that tree
And I could swear as you had looked upon I
The mind's eye that I'm also trying to bid a goodbye
It was now clear I had been a deer in a mental health high beam and
Now I am wishing that it had all really been just a dream
The things they told me that I thought were untrue
Now dig at my soul, just not the one on my shoe
If I could go back surely it would all be the same
I guess I'm dealing with a brain most consider to be lame
They say that's a stigma but with regrets like these
How could I look my people in the eye or even mutter a plea
They kept saying baker's racked
Baker's racked as fast as you can
I tried to run away quicker than the ginger bread man
Baker's racked
Baker's racked the heat of the moment gone
They told me my brain was using me like a pawn
I deserve to stay here locked away until the end of my days
In a daze because after what I did
Ain't no body offering their place or their time of day
Should I even bother
Can't get rid of these blues
What do I do
Maybe take a job delivering the news
I guess it is better than delivering blues to young thugs
I'm gonna figure out a better life than fronting and doing drugs
Baker's racked
Baker's racked
I suppose that's the plan
Baker's racked
Backer's racked
No longer that ginger mad man
