[Intro: [i](unidentified sample)[/i]]
[i]He should never even see daylight again, never

I have to apologize publicly for the--
For the mental anger mental stress and emotions
Stress that I've uh...
Uh... subjected those people to
Uh...
I feel bad about it (I feel bad about it, I feel bad about it)
(I feel bad about it, really)

[Hook]
How I need eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (my mental stress)
How I need eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (my mental stress)
How I need eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (my mental stress)
How I need eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (my mental stress)

[Verse 1]
See I've been to Hell and back, and that's a fact
I get a flashback one day I'm a snap
My mind is gone, to each his own
I wish the whole world would just leave me alone
I want to die, I do not die
I'm on the far side and it's passin' me by
I want to cry, I do not cry
I have to tell me, myself, and I
And who am I? I don't understand
Wipe that ass once the shit hits the fan
Black man, my man, man
God damn man, oh man, man
No shit, tell me something I don't know
No hope, and I can't cope
With the mental stress
[Hook]
How I need eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (my mental stress)
How I need eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (my mental stress)
How I need eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (my mental stress)
How I need eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (my mental stress)

[Verse 2]
Life ain't nothing but bullets, man
And who's that n***a with the gun in hand
(What n***a?) This n***a, (What n***a?) that n***a
(What n***a?) This n***a, finger on the trigger
(Oh no, what you going to do now boy?)
I'm finna' go nuts like an Almond Joy
Bang my head against the wall three times until it bleeds
Wicket Witch of the East, the belly of the beast
See, that's just how it be
Nobody really gives a fuck about me
And you see that I ain't got no hope
Somebody help me cope
With this mental stress

[Hook]
How I need eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (my mental stress)
How I need eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (my mental stress)
How I need eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (my mental stress)
How I need eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (my mental stress)
[Verse 3]
Lock me up and throw away the key
God took my mind and said fuck me
I kick the Wicketshit until I can't no more
I black out so much I can't think no more
'Til I die, 'til I die, wonder will I die
How you plead to homicide without an alibi
No lie, I can't wait 'til I die
N***as still think Heaven's up in the sky
And voices in my head call my name at night
Sometimes I don't know wrong from right
Insight, Twilight Zone's my home
I put the chrome to my dome when I'm all alone
By my lonely, I'm going to join my dead homie
No hope, and I can't cope
With the mental stress

[Hook]
How I need eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (my mental stress)
How I need eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (my mental stress)
How I need eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (my mental stress)
How I need eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (my mental stress)
