Therapy
Heltah Skeltah Lyrics

Bring in the next patient (the patient is sleeping)
The patient is currently unconscious and the next one is to be brought in

Bring in his chart (the Doctor will see you now)
The medical chart is to be brought in because the doctor is ready to begin

How you doin', let's see what we have here
The doctor welcomes the patient and sees what their condition is

My name is Dr. Killpatient
The doctor introduces himself as Dr. Killpatient

And I'm your psychosssssigmathetamasochistic
The doctor has a complex and difficult title that means they specialize in various psychological disorders

All I, seem to, think about is violence
The patient has violent thoughts and it's been consuming them

It doesn't matter if I'm dead sober or I'm bent
The patient's violent thoughts don't change regardless of their sobriety level

It's strange, I'm not insane or at least I don't think so
The patient doesn't think they're insane even with their violent thoughts

Or am I? You think so Doc, truthfully I don't know
The patient isn't sure of their own sanity and asks the doctor for their opinion

So what do I do I go to my crew and ask for help
The patient seeks help from their friends

But they ain't no help, they go through the same shit they damn self
The patient's friends also have issues and can't offer any help

So I look deep into the mind of a crook
The patient tries to understand the thought process of someone who commits crimes

Then out of nowhere I envision two right hooks
The patient suddenly has violent thoughts and imagines throwing punches

Aw damn, again goes this shit I
The patient is frustrated with their recurring violent thoughts

Can't get out of this cycle, dish one got me whipped
The patient feels like they're stuck in a cycle of violent thoughts that they can't escape

From the thought of a brain bashing, Doctor stop me
The patient has a sudden urge to cause harm and asks the doctor to intervene

Before I blow my motherfuckin' top G
The patient is scared that they will lose control and do something they'll regret

See that leather sofa over there? Yeah
The doctor points out the sofa where the patient can sit

Sit back with this six-pack and a spliff
The doctor offers the patient alcohol and a marijuana cigarette

That have your mind twisted while we chit-chat, I like that
The doctor likes the idea of having a relaxed conversation while under the influence of substances

I think that, we should start with the session, uh-huh
The doctor suggests beginning the therapy session

But before we begin let me ask you a few questions, uh-huh
The doctor wants to ask some questions before starting the therapy

Have you been touched the wrong way? Nah
The doctor asks about any history of sexual abuse and the patient denies it

Involved in gun play, yeah
The doctor asks about any history of being involved in violent activities and the patient confirms it

The town let me guess acquitted like you was O.J. How you know?
The doctor assumes the patient wasn't convicted of their previous violent activity and asks the patient how they know

Typical black life you jack knives under a sea biscuit
The doctor makes a statement about the typical life of black people that includes violence and drugs

Get specific an stop fuckin' around wit that crack rock
The doctor asks the patient to be more specific instead of avoiding the topic by talking about drugs

Yo I don't smoke doze
The patient denies smoking marijuana

Yes you do Duke I can tell
The doctor doesn't believe the patient and tells them they can tell they do smoke

'Cause you actin funny, like when blacks get money
The patient's behavior is like that of someone who's suddenly acquired wealth

Brummy jazz only married to Jawana
The patient mentions a couple of names that are unclear in their context

and instead of helping you're getting me heated like a sauna
The patient is getting more agitated by the doctor's questions instead of feeling helped

Just trying to get into your head
The doctor is attempting to understand the patient's thought patterns

Pardon the way I treat you
The doctor apologizes if the patient feels mistreated by their questioning

Tell me bout your scar, did your momma beat you, nah man
The doctor asks about a scar on the patient's body and wonders if it's from physical abuse by their mother, but the patient denies it

Fuck the mystery Duke tell me your history
The doctor wants to move past the small talk and find out the patient's history

You're pissin' me off
The doctor is getting frustrated with the patient's lack of cooperation or honesty

plus the time keep on clippin' see
Time is passing quickly and the session needs to be productive

[Chorus]
The chorus begins

I need a doctor to give me some therapy
The patient needs professional help for their mental state

I need a doctor to check my, my brain
The patient wants to be evaluated by a professional for any mental health issues

As I think back, to the nineties
The patient reminisces about the 1990s

That's when life got extra grimy
The 1990s were a difficult time for the patient

Multiplied with a fleet behind me
The patient had a group of people supporting them

Wasn't smart to try me, physical fam gave less than a
The patient's family didn't support them as much as they needed

Which added on to eighties anger tearing through my inner
The patient was already dealing with anger from the 1980s which exacerbated their mental state

(Now we're gettin' somewhere, yeah) It's all becoming clear
The doctor feels like they're starting to understand the patient's situation

I always feared I have to play the rear til I was outta here
The patient always felt like they had to be in the background until they left that situation

That's when I flipped out and became a plane
The patient had a sudden change in attitude and became more aggressive

That transform into a robot Rokk Da Kids was his name
The patient started going by the name Rokk Da Kids after their transformation

(One of them Decep niggaz) Yup takin' dope clothes and then some
The patient is taking drugs and expensive clothes

I bend some (did you have any legal source of income?)
The doctor asks the patient if they had any legitimate sources of income

I said farewell to welfare crazy long ago
The patient stopped receiving welfare assistance a long time ago

They want you to work for them peanuts now
The patient feels like they're now being offered low-paying jobs

Man you need a shrink if you think I'ma go (huh)
The patient refuses to accept low-paying jobs and tells the doctor they need mental help if they think otherwise

Then any thoughts and hopes of rehabilitation
The patient lost any hope of being rehabilitated

Were chilled when I lost my nigga Phil it's been downhill
The patient's situation got worse when they lost their friend Phil

Ever since, and ain't nobody helpin' me
The patient feels like they haven't received any help

So I came to you, the Doctor Killpatients for therapy
The patient sought out Dr. Killpatients for therapy

Bust the prognosis, better yet Duke have a dosage
The doctor will give a diagnosis and prescribe medication

of prescribed poetry that people perceive as potent
The doctor prescribes a form of therapy that they feel will be helpful

I've been goin through your file and I found a conclusion
The doctor has been reviewing the patient's file and has come to a conclusion

That you destined to be the best in this world of confusion
The doctor believes that the patient has potential despite their current struggles

You lose when you fall victim to evil ways
The doctor warns the patient that they won't succeed if they give into their violent tendencies

I know crime pays but the rhyme slays nowadays
The doctor suggests that the patient should focus on their music career instead of crime

Take two of these and if you have a problem at all
The doctor prescribes medication to the patient and reassures them that they're available if there are any issues

I'm on call twenty-four hours to brawl, word is bond
The doctor is available to help if the patient needs them, no matter what time it is

This is my number, ya know what I'm sayin'
The doctor gives the patient their phone number

Four nine five, nevermind nevermind
The doctor starts to give their phone number but changes their mind

But you that undisputed, and now you therapeutic
The doctor believes that the patient can overcome their struggles and become successful

Bootcampian champion
The patient is a champion of Boot Camp Clik, a hip hop group

The undisputed, with therapeutic
The patient is the undisputed champion in their own right and can become better through therapy

Bootcampian champion, R-O-C, therapy
The patient is a champion of Boot Camp Clik and can improve through therapy
