Dem Bipolar Blues
***UPDATED*** This is a tune about a very serious behavioral health issue, with a comedic twist, and an odd solo.
Dem Bipolar Blues… - Just Frank-
My life, it’s a funny story
Filled with things, we all go through
Ain’t lookin’ for no pity
But peoples this handicap – it’s true
Chance are, the way you see things
Ain’t the same for me
You see it your way
But I probly sees it three
Cuz I’m Bipolar
Pop dem’ pills
I hates ta’ do
You betta’ off in yo’ world, pretty baby
In mines one-n-one, it rarely make two
So,
I went to see that doctor
Mister psych, M.D.
He try to console, try to pacify me
He say “hey Leo”
“Don’t be so hard on yourself”
“I’m tell ya little secret”
“we all fucked up somehow”
But you Bipolar
Pop deez’ pills
Ya betta’ do
You’ll like it better in my world, brotha
Where one-n-one always make two
So,
Every day in the mornin’
Handful of pills, to feed my head
By six o’clock in the evenin’
I Slump in that chair, just like I’m dead
But it keep everybody happy
You doin’ fine – they say
They ain’t see the real me…
Lest they all should run away
Screamin’ you Bipolar
Pop doz’ pills
Please won’t ya’ do
And I say…
You betta’ off in yo’ world, little babies
In mines one-n-one, it seldom make two
Now,
Adderall all day
Abilify at night
They tryin’ to stabilize and make me right
Cuz I’m Bipolar
Pop doz’ pills
I got’s ta do
You betta’ off in yo’ world, pretty baby
In mines one-n-one, it never make two
That’s alright, I got my skins – Drum Break!!!
Peoples, I guess I’m better off now
Never really sure tho
Gotta trust those around me
My barometer of psychs
Make no mistake about it
Through that lookin’ glass
Thousand years ago - I woulda’ ruled yo’ ass
As, I’m Bipolar
Pop doz’ pills
I’ll keep on do
I tries to fit in to yo’ world, pretty baby
Cuz in mines ya don’t have a clue…
