That nurse came into my room, she told me Im sick in the head

Im in hip-hops hospital bed, with a pad and a pen and a brace on my neck
~#**************#~
They told me that Im never leavin
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
Strap a grenade to my head, pull out the pin
~#**************#~
My music is mind-blowin
~#**************#~
Aint nobody do it like I do it
~#**************#~
You aint ever been on my level
~#**************#~
I got a problem with the way they keep on talkin
~#**************#~
And actin like everybody gonna get it
~#**************#~
Better sleep with your eyes open
~#**************#~
You wanna know what I noticed?
~#**************#~
Look around at my fan base and they ready (I see you!)
~#**************#~
That last album was heavy (I see you!)
~#**************#~
That last album was gritty

How you gon match that? Just let me
~#**************#~
Do what I do best, youre better off playin Russian roulette
~#**************#~
Than comin in a booth with me cause I get
~#**************#~
A little bit intense, Im like, “Whos next?”
~#**************#~
Yall better watch it, take a look at where the clock is
~#**************#~
Its my time
~#**************#~
This ladder of music that I climbed
~#**************#~
I took the machete, the game isnt ready
~#**************#~
Them rappers, they comin up on me
~#**************#~
I cut off the ladder, and I told em, “Bye-bye” (Bye-bye)
~#**************#~
What, you lookin for a high-five? Nice try! (Woo!)
~#**************#~
Do not believe everything that you read on the internet
~#**************#~
I do not know who your dentist is
~#**************#~
But he should clean out your mouth
~#**************#~
Dont call me a sellout, thats something Ive never been
~#**************#~
Ive been through hell all my life though
~#**************#~
But I know what Heaven is
~#**************#~
Father forgive me, for I am a sinner
~#**************#~
But You gave me music as medicine, woo!
~#**************#~
If nobody want a problem when they get in my zone, better leave me be!
~#**************#~
Im a mean MC
~#**************#~
Better feed me rappers or feed me beats, agh!
~#**************#~
Feed me both of em
~#**************#~
They like, “Nate, whats it like to be famous?” (Hahahahahaha)
~#**************#~
Umm, Ill let you know if I make it! (Yeah)
~#**************#~
I wonder what life would be like
~#**************#~
If I didnt stick out my neck
~#**************#~
Two hundred dollars inside of my bank account, woo!
~#**************#~
I was livin on that
~#**************#~
I need some money to pay for my rent
~#**************#~
I need some money to pay for my gas
~#**************#~
Im not complainin, Im just bein honest
~#**************#~
I promise that I will not beg for respect, nah!
~#**************#~
I get so frustrated, take a look at what Ive created
~#**************#~
Time is wasting, and I aint waiting
~#**************#~
Im a doctor with no job, me, I dont have no patience
~#**************#~
I keep pacing, back and forth, I keep racing
~#**************#~
You aint never been in my book and I got a problem with it, why? ‘Cause you actin like you read my pages
~#**************#~
I wreck these stages
~#**************#~
Real talk, better give me space cause I am chasing
~#**************#~
Something they told me that I wont make it, agh!
~#**************#~
Im not famous, Im just Nathan (Woo!)
~#**************#~
And I wonder how the world gon take this
~#**************#~
They might hate it
~#**************#~
But you know anything about me
~#**************#~
You know that dont mean Im changin
~#**************#~
‘Cause you know Im real with it
~#**************#~
Dont care if you feelin it, Im feelin it
~#**************#~
You dont like it? Then deal with it
~#**************#~
And if God aint real, real isnt
~#**************#~
Used to wonder why I existed
~#**************#~
I exist in the world thats real different
~#**************#~
And, “What you gon be when you grow up, Nate?”
~#**************#~
I doubt they will get it
~#**************#~
My life is a mess, better watch your step when you step in it
~#**************#~
Some of this brain is off-limits
~#**************#~
Im off in a world you dont get
~#**************#~
‘Cause you aint ever been in it
~#**************#~
In ten minutes I still couldnt explain whats inside my brain, dont mess with it
~#**************#~
Ive invested a lot of me inside these lines, Im just protectin em
~#**************#~
Everybody wanna hear the real version of life
~#**************#~
Then dont get so sensitive when I say something a little bit raw
~#**************#~
I jot my thoughts and they call it negative
~#**************#~
You wanna know where my heart is?
~#**************#~
I stand out cause I wear my garbage
~#**************#~
I work my hardest
~#**************#~
And every time I look into the mirror I dont forget about where I started, woo!
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
Tell me, what am I doing here?
~#**************#~
Tell me, what am I doing here?
~#**************#~
Tell me, what am I, what am I doing? Mmm
~#**************#~
Tell me, what am I doing here?
~#**************#~
I said, what am I doing here?
~#**************#~
Tell me, what am I doing here, if
~#**************#~
Im not being real, mmm
