Lyrics

[Chorus]
Got holy books on my wall
The Quran says I'm Haram
And swears that there'll be a trial to see
If my souls worth shit with inflation
Holy books on my wall
If the Bible's true then I'm fucked
Hopefully there's a higher power
Forgiving all my mistakes
'Cause I'm just a sinner
[Verse 1]
Half a milli in the safe
No my number didn't change
When I'm low I try to pray
Pray for death, I need a break
Sacrilegious but at least it's the truth
They be judging wishing they could do what I do
But really I just wanna go back home
But that's the past now
That shit is long gone
That's why I act out
[Chorus]
Got holy books on my wall
The Quran says I'm Haram
And swears that there'll be a trial to see
If my souls worth shit with inflation
Holy books on my wall
If the Bible's true then I'm fucked
Hopefully it's a higher power
Forgiving all my mistakes
'Cause I'm just a sinner
I never said I was sane
[Verse 2]
If you can't threaten me
With sending me to therapy
This love story
It might not be meant to be
Know it sounds crazy
But I never said I was sane
I never said I was sane
Lost some screws
Along the way to L.A.
Where they pay me for pain
So I make back what I lost
Along the way
[Chorus]
Got holy books on my wall
The Quran says I'm Haram
And swears that there'll be a trial to see
If my souls worth shit with inflation
Holy books on my wall
If the Bible's true then I'm fucked
Hopefully there's a higher power
Forgiving all my mistakes
'Cause I'm just a sinner
I never said I was sane
