Insecurities

Ay, yo, remember me? It's Rick Dahrouge, the losa'

The drug abusa', the kid who used to wanna shoot 'cha

Walkin' through the halls wit' my long hair like I didn't care

When all you other cornballs would just stare

Seventh grade, I got sent away to rehab

When I got back, a drug addict reputation's all I had

After that I cut off all my homies, chilled by my lonely

All the stupid teachers used to stone me

I wasn't only wild and bad, see I was sad too

But couldn't understand 'cause my parents was mad cool

Takin' Special Ed up in the rug room with some retarded kids

[Neptune?] was like a zoo

Ask E-Bass, he was in there with me too

And I got mad love for cus', 'cause he helped to get me through

I've been doin' the wrong damn things for so long

Had to write 'em all in poems and songs and move on

'Cause I got insecurities, some uncertainties

I'm perfect just like everyone else, I do it perfectly

The only one who's hurtin' me is me, you see

I go against my own will and indulge in impurities

'Cause yo, I got insecurities, I'm not too sure [?]

People always tellin' me that I need some therapy

The only man who's scarin' me is me, you see

I'm worried about me hurtin' you, but not you hurtin' me

Hyperactive attention deficit

Dirty [?] the kids your moms wouldn't letcha play with

But a lot of stupid shit I did, other kids did too

I used to try stuff that even young Slim would never do

I used to trip out off of all sorts of cough syrup

Believe me, I tried all the cheap highs you hear of

From Freon to gasoline to butane

I know that some of that shit had to fry my brain

But somehow, I managed to maintain some brain cells

Often found myself inside of a jail cell

When I got home, back in my room is where I dwell

You got fond memories? Well, my teen years was Hell

For the most part, I stayed clean, but smoked weed

And eat a lemon, seven-fourteen when things get extreme

'Cause I got insecurities, some uncertainties

I'm perfect just like everyone else, I do it perfectly

The only one who's hurtin' me is me, you see

I go against my own will and indulge in impurities

'Cause yo, I got insecurities, I'm not too sure [?]

People always tellin' me that I need some therapy

The only man who's scarin' me is me, you see

I'm worried about me hurtin' you, but not you hurtin' me

Now I hear sirens when I think thoughts of violence

Sometimes when I sit in silence, I start cryin', man

I ain't lyin'. Yo, I'm really fuckin' tryin'

Don't ever wanna take the blame for someone else dyin'

So, you see, kid? I ain't about killin' shit

But like Wu, when it comes to my neck, I must protect it

I wanna wreck shit every time that I'm neglected

It's hard to "forget it" and "dead it" when disrespected

So pray I do the right thing and stop striking

Quick as lightning, I'm like a stone cold viking

After all, it's the insecure man you should look out for

He's more prone to killin' your fam so lock your damn door

'Cause I got insecurities, some uncertainties

I'm perfect just like everyone else, I do it perfectly

The only one who's hurtin' me is me, you see

I go against my own will and indulge in impurities

'Cause yo, I got insecurities, I'm not too sure [?]

People always tellin' me that I need some therapy

The only man who's scarin' me is me, you see

I'm worried about me hurtin' you, but not you hurtin' me
