[Verse 1: Tiny]
How many trips to the hospital does it take
And visits from the doctor to tell me it's okay?
"You're not dying kid, you need to stop breathing so heavily
All those anxiety attacks will affect your longevity"
Apologies to my closest, and those who had to deal with
Me when I think I'm dying and going completely hysteric
So after a weekend of freaking out at the clinic
A psychiatrist diagnosed me as a paranoid-schizophrenic
He prescribed me medication and he told me "take this twice a day"
Pills to set my mind straight seems like a small price to pay
But that's life today, and it feels like I'm leveled
All idle hands pull me back at the workshop of the devil
I paid my dues in this game, and now I got to consult
Somebody else so I can keep from going out of control
So don't scorn me, 'cause you don't know where I've been
Or what category I've haunted too, so let the story begin
[Chorus: Ómar]
I've got a straight jacket on I've gotta get it out
I've gotta take the control, I'm taking over now
I've got a straight jacket on I've gotta get it out
I've gotta take the control, I'm taking over now
I've got a straight jacket on I've gotta get it out
I've gotta take the control, I'm taking over now
I've got a straight jacket on I've gotta get it out
I've gotta take the control, I'm taking over now
[Verse 2: Tiny]
So how many prescriptions and pills to calm me down?
Would you just listen, just once?
My mother's stressed to pay you grounds
How many despair moments, how many pointless affairs?
I ain't got chance for you now, just bad company here
How many sleepless nights in all the fuss to keep you from the floor?
To a little deeper talk of places I was in before
And I think I seen the way out, still I worry all the time
That it might play out, the way I said it would in my rhymes
And I'm tired of learning lessons, how can I quit these forces?
Apply your methods in me and all your diagnosis
Cause I keep falling a little further astray
And it's tough to be alone and deserted these days
[Chorus: Ómar]
I've got a straight jacket on I've gotta get it out
I've gotta take the control, I'm taking over now
I've got a straight jacket on I've gotta get it out
I've gotta take the control, I'm taking over now
I've got a straight jacket on I've gotta get it out
I've gotta take the control, I'm taking over now
I've got a straight jacket on I've gotta get it out
I've gotta take the control, I'm taking over now
[Verse 3: Tiny]
I walk around in frustration, lace me down and then sit
I'm lying face down, and spaced the fuck out of my wits
How hard can it get? Still I'm reluctant to try
I watch the seasons change while time keeps passing me by
I got these chains on, my brain's goin' out of this world
And got this straight jacket on, while time keeps passing me by
Do I breathe in or breathe out?
Somethin' so heavy inside
But I try to keep goin'
But time keeps passing me by
[Chorus: Ómar]
I've got a straight jacket on I've gotta get it out
I've gotta take the control, I'm taking over now
I've got a straight jacket on I've gotta get it out
I've gotta take the control, I'm taking over now
I've got a straight jacket on I've gotta get it out
I've gotta take the control, I'm taking over now
I've got a straight jacket on I've gotta get it out
I've gotta take the control, I'm taking over now
