Rehab
feat. Jay Z Lyrics

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
I refused to go to rehabilitation despite their insistence.

Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I might have made mistakes in the past, but after some time, I will come back stronger, wiser, and happier.

I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go
I don't have the time nor the desire to go to rehab, even if my father thinks I need it.

I'd rather be at home with ray I ain't got seventy days 'Cause there's nothing There's nothing you can teach me That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway I didn't get a lot in class But I know it don't come in a shot glass
I would rather be at home with my music instead of spending seventy days in rehab. I believe that music is teaching me more than any rehab process ever could, and I don't need alcohol to learn anything new.

The man said 'why do you think you here?' I said 'I got no idea I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby So I always keep a bottle near' He said 'I just think your depressed', (The best Amy Amy) Kiss me, yeah baby, and go rest
The therapist asked me why I was here, and I told him I had no idea. I always keep a bottle near in case I lose my significant other. He concluded that I am depressed and recommended that I take a break.

Young, uh More money, more checks, I'm addicted to fresh Six pair of kicks is my definition of 12 steps Kick back in the back, get the phantom to drop Bass blaring outta my system, that's how I detox
I am young and addicted to fame and money. My 12 steps are defined by purchasing multiple pairs of stylish sneakers. I detox by blasting music with heavy bass while riding around in my fancy car.

O when will he stop, he still pumping that real shit My flow so dumb, my face is numb, nigga, I don't feel shit Where's a therapist? Yeah, I'm outta control They tryna make me go to rehab, I won't go, no
People wonder when I will stop making music that speaks the truth. My music is so emotional that it's like I have numbed myself completely to feel nothing. I admit that I am out of control, but I still refuse to go to rehab.

And so I'm addicted, I'm Britney, Whitney, and Bobby Betty Ford ain't ready for us, ain't nothing can stop me Oh look he's collapsing, just look how he's rapping Every time I try to get out it pulls me back in Amy should have rehabed him,'stead she doubled his ration Can you blame me for being a slave to my passion? My heroine flows more deeper than Marilyn's nose I'm an O.D. 'Til I'm in peace like Anna Nicole, Hov!
I am addicted to music, just like Britney Spears, Whitney Houston, and Bobby Brown were addicted to drugs. Rehab centers like Betty Ford aren't capable of handling us, but that won't stop us. People often see me collapsing on stage and rapping passionately, but they don't understand the kind of addiction that runs in my veins. My passion is like a drug, and people like Amy Winehouse should have supported me instead of worsening my addiction. My music is so revolutionary that it could rival Marilyn Monroe's beauty. I will only be at peace when I die, just like Anna Nicole Smith did.

I don't ever wanna drink again I just ooh I just need a friend I'm not gonna spend ten weeks Have everyone think I'm on the mend It's not just my pride It's just 'til these tears have dried
I don't want to drink anymore, but I need someone to support me emotionally. I refuse to spend ten weeks in rehab just to pretend that I'm getting better. It's not just my ego that's at stake here, but my emotional well-being too. I need to get over my feelings of sadness and disappointment first before I can change my behavior.

They tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go
Despite the pressure, I don't want to go to rehab.
