Insane
Killer Mike and Moon Holiday Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't have to be afraid
You don't even have to be brave
Living in a gilded cage

The only risk is that you'll go
Go, Go
Insane
Go, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh, go, go, insane
Go, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Go
Go insane
And go
Go insane
And go
Go insane
And go, go, go, go insane
And go

Your mind is on track
For games we play these days
With every parth we take
You know your safe, safe, safe
The only risk is that you'll go insane
The only risk is that you'll go insane

And go
Go insane
And go, go, go
Go insane
And go
Go insane
And go, go, go
Go insane
Go insane
Go insane
Go insane




And go, go, go
Go insane

Overall Meaning

The song "Insane" by Killer Mike and Moon Holiday is a song about breaking free from societal norms and expectations, and the fear that comes with going against the status quo. The lyrics "You don't have to be afraid, you don't even have to be brave, living in a gilded cage" suggest that even though society may feel like it provides a safe and luxurious life, it can also limit one's freedom and personal growth. The repetition of "go insane" in the chorus implies that taking risks and stepping out of one's comfort zone, may feel like a form of insanity, but it ultimately leads to self-discovery and liberation. The lines "Your mind is on track for games we play these days, with every path we take, you know your safe, safe, safe," suggest that society has created a set of pre-determined rules and expectations that we follow blindly, but breaking free from these constraints is the only way to truly live an authentic life.


Overall, "Insane" encourages listeners to take risks, challenge the norm, and break free from societal expectations, which can feel scary and may lead to feelings of insanity. However, the reward is personal growth, self-discovery, and ultimately freedom.

[Refrain: Moon Holiday]
The only risk is that you'll go insane
The only risk is that you'll go insane

[Verse: Killer Mike]
This is a calamity, this is some insanity
This ain't what I make them records for, what I reckon for
Girl got a friend and I think we both be checkin' her
The way that we be starin', all our eyes be undressin' her
We should be finessin' her, we should be molestin' her
Instead of walkin' 'round all tense when I pressure her
My mama say it's sin and God won't be blessin' her
Everything about my molecular is secular
I be like: "It feel right", "Baby, you should feel this"
"I can't do this square life", "Baby, this the weirdest"
Sex, drugs, rap and roll, yes, that's my philosophy
Anything other than is livin' in hypocrisy
So if it feel good, baby, I'mma do it
Put that on the blood in my vein, no SuWoo
Did we do it? Yes
Was it fresh? Yes
We achieved higher through desires of the flesh

[Chorus: Moon Holiday]
Go insane
Go insane
Go insane

I can't do this square life, baby this the weirdest

Anything other than is living in hypocrisy
So if it feel good
Baby Imma do it
Put that on the blood in my vein

Did we do it? Yes
Was it fresh? Yes
We achieved higher through desires of the flesh
