[Nurse over the 1MC] Attention patients… Medication time. Grape… Report to the window. Grape, grape, grape, grape, grape [Verse] I'm beginning to understand the use of violence as an option So many solutions to so many fucking problems And I feel the need to meet that condescending tone with a little condescension of my very own I'm beginning to understand the use of violence as an option If they show up for me we're gonna have a problem My ability to escape is already common knowledge No door, no room, no little box can hold my head when healthier options aren't even offered The words in my heart say don't cause a problem So I cracked my neck looked right at them and offered them a solvent: Clean yourselves up and come back with more options Clean yourselves up and come back with more options Because I'm beginning to understand the use of violence as an option but I haven't chosen it. [Nurse over the 1MC] Attention patients… Dinner time. Grape… Report to the window. Grape, grape, grape, grape, grape [High-pitched ODB-style interjection] [Verse – Grape] Walked up to that plexiglass like “what up, bitch, I’m here” She looked at me sideways like I was some kind of fear “Name and dose,” she said with that little smirk on her face I said “I don’t take pills, nurse you already know my case” She rolled her eyes so hard I felt it in my spine Orderly stepped up close tryin’ to put me back in line Doctor came out the side door talkin’ that calm-down shit I cracked my neck again and told him “this ain’t it” Hesitation and self-immolation. Im trying to be patient with people at your station stand silently and torch the situation Self focused check Self confidence wrecked dealing with a hostile nation [Verse] I'm beginning to understand the use of violence as an option So many solutions to so many fucking problems And I feel the need to meet that condescending tone with a little condescension of my very own I'm beginning to understand the use of violence as an option [sharp ending]
