I was in my room and I was just, like, staring at the wall thinking about everything. But then again, I was thinking about nothing. And then my mom came in, and I didn't even know she was there. She called my name, and I didn't hear her, and then she started screaming, "Mike, Mike!"

And I go, "What? What's the matter?"

She goes, "What's the matter with you?"

I go, "There's nothing wrong, Mom."

She's all, "Don't tell me that! You're on drugs!"

I go, "No, Mom, I'm not on drugs. I'm okay! I'm just thinking, you know? Why don't you get me a Pepsi?"

She goes, "No! You're on drugs!"

I go, "Mom, I'm okay. I'm just thinking."

She goes, "No! You're not thinking; you're on drugs! Normal people don't act that way!"

I go, "Mom, just get me a Pepsi, please! All I want is a Pepsi!"

And she wouldn't give it to me! All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me! Just a Pepsi!

They give you a white shirt with long sleeves! Ties around your back, you're treated like thieves! Drug you up because they're lazy! It's too much work to help a crazy!

I'm not crazy! INSTITUTION!!!

You're the one that's crazy! INSTITUTION!!!

You're driving me crazy! INSTITUTION!!!

They stick me in an institution, said it was the only solution to give me the needed professional help to protect me from the enemy, myself.
