Brain Damage

[00:00.38] Scalpel

[00:01.13] Here

[00:01.88] Sponge

[00:03.88] Here

[00:04.63] Wait, he's convulsing, he's convulsing

[00:05.77] Ahh

[00:06.27] We're gonna have to shock him

[00:07.02] Oh my God, oh my God

[00:07.52] We're gonna have to shock him

[00:08.02] Oh my God

[00:08.41] These are the results of a thousand electric volts

[00:10.91] A neck with bolts

[00:11.66] Nurse, we're losin' him, check the pulse

[00:13.66] A kid who refused to respect adults

[00:15.66] Wore spectacles with taped frames and a freckled nose

[00:18.41] A corny-lookin' white boy, scrawny and always ornery

[00:20.91] 'Cause I was always sick of brawny bullies pickin' on me

[00:23.41] And I might snap, one day just like that

[00:25.41] I decided to strike back, and flatten every tire on the bike rack

[00:28.91] My first day in Junior High, this kid said

[00:31.16] "It's you and I, three o'clock sharp, this afternoon you die"

[00:33.91] I looked at my watch, it was 1:20

[00:35.66] "I already gave you my lunch money

[00:37.41] What more do you want from me?"

[00:38.91] He said, "Don't try to run from me, you'll just make it worse"

[00:41.41] My palms were sweaty, and I started to shake at first

[00:43.91] Somethin' told me, "Try to fake a stomach ache, it works"

[00:46.41] I screamed, "Ow, my appendix feel like they could burst

[00:49.16] Teacher, teacher, quick, I need a naked nurse"

[00:51.66] "What's the matter?"

[00:52.41] "I don't know, my leg, it hurts"

[00:54.16] "Leg? I thought you said it was your tummy"

[00:56.16] "Oh, I mean it is, but I also got a bum knee"

[00:59.16] "Mr. Mathers, the fun and games are over

[01:01.41] And just for that stunt, you're gonna get some extra homework"

[01:04.16] "But don't you wanna give me after school detention?"

[01:06.41] "Nah, that bully wants to beat your ass and I'ma let him"

[01:08.91] Brain damage, ever since the day I was born

[01:11.16] Drugs is what they used to say I was on

[01:14.16] They say I never knew which way I was goin'

[01:16.41] But everywhere I go, they keep playin' my song

[01:18.92] Brain damage, ever since the day I was born

[01:21.91] Drugs is what they used to say I was on

[01:24.41] They say I never knew which way I was goin'

[01:26.66] But everywhere I go, they keep playin' my song

[01:28.66] Brain damage

[01:29.41] Way before my baby daughter Hailie

[01:31.16] I was harassed daily by this fat kid named DeAngelo Bailey

[01:34.16] An eighth grader who acted obnoxious, 'cause his father boxes

[01:37.41] So every day he'd shove me in the lockers

[01:39.41] One day he came in the bathroom while I was pissin'

[01:41.91] And had me in the position to beat me into submission

[01:44.16] He banged my head against the urinal 'til he broke my nose

[01:46.67] Soaked my clothes in blood, grabbed me and choked my throat

[01:49.41] I tried to plead and tell him we shouldn't beef

[01:51.41] But he just wouldn't leave

[01:52.67] He kept chokin' me and I couldn't breathe

[01:54.66] He looked at me and said, "You gonna die, honky"

[01:56.91] The principal walked in and started helpin' him stomp me

[01:59.16] (What's going on in here?)

[02:00.16] I made 'em think they beat me to death

[02:01.41] Holdin' my breath for like five minutes before they finally left

[02:04.41] Then I got up and ran to the janitor's storage booth

[02:06.92] Kicked the door hinge loose and ripped out the four-inch screws

[02:09.41] Grabbed some sharp objects, brooms and foreign tools

[02:11.91] This is for every time you took my orange juice

[02:14.66] Or stole my seat in the lunchroom and drank my chocolate milk

[02:17.16] Every time you tipped my tray and it dropped and spilt

[02:19.66] I'm gettin' you back, bully, now once and for good

[02:22.16] I cocked the broomstick back and swung hard as I could

[02:24.66] And beat him over the head with it 'til I broke the wood

[02:27.16] Knocked him down, stood on his chest with one foot

[02:29.66] Made it home later that same day

[02:31.91] Started readin' a comic, and suddenly everything became gray

[02:35.16] I couldn't even see what I was tryin' to read

[02:37.16] I went deaf and my left ear started to bleed

[02:39.91] My mother started screamin', "What are you on, drugs?!

[02:42.16] Look at you, you're gettin' blood all over my rug" (I'm sorry)

[02:45.17] She beat me over the head with the remote control

[02:47.41] Opened a hole and my whole brain fell out of my skull

[02:49.91] I picked it up and screamed, "Look, bitch, what have you done?"

[02:52.41] "Oh my God, I'm sorry, son"

[02:53.91] Shut up, you cunt

[02:54.91] I said fuck it, took it and stuck it back up in my head

[02:57.41] Then I sewed it shut and put a couple of screws in my neck

[03:00.16] Brain damage, ever since the day I was born

[03:02.41] Drugs is what they used to say I was on

[03:05.41] They say I never knew which way I was goin'

[03:07.41] But everywhere I go, they keep playin' my song

[03:10.16] Brain damage, ever since the day I was born

[03:12.91] Drugs is what they used to say I was on

[03:15.41] They say I never knew which way I was goin'

[03:17.91] But everywhere I go, they keep playin' my song

[03:19.91] Brain damage, it's brain damage

[03:24.91] I got brain damage, it's brain damage

[03:28.92] It's probably brain damage, it's brain damage

[03:35.16] Brain damage, I got brain damage
