Rehab Time In The Sectioned Ward

[ghost]

Dis one goes out to all me homies in da Sectioned Ward of Graylands Psychiatric Hospital


Dey can strap me down; dey can put me in pyjamas
But in me mind, I is surfing da Bahamas
Got me solid gold tooth, and me picture of Obama
You can violate me rights; but don’t you disrespect me mama
At ten to nine dey come around to medicate me
Dey all smile and nod, but dat just f*ckn irritates me
Say day want to make me well, but what dey want, is to sedate me
If ya wanna see me happy doctor… why don’t you fellate me?


Chorus

It’s rehab time in da sectioned ward
Spent my life workin hard, now I get my reward
Dis place makes me glad dat I hasn’t been cured
It’s rehab time in da sectioned ward


Let me tell ya’ll a story bout me main man, Lorenzo
Couldn’t sleep for three months, then he hooked himself on benzos
Lost his job, n his house, n his wife, n his friends, so
E says can I moves in wit you, I said, well dat depends, yo…

Can ya cook, can ya clean, can ya scrub me decks?
Can ya mop, can ya shop, can ya rub me necks?

If ya make forty quid, then ya gotta give me twenty
I don’t mean to be a prick, but I is got ta pay da rent-y
E took a step back, and he said, ‘Me Gawd’,
I tink I take me chances in da f*ckn sectioned ward


Chorus

Yo
It’s rehab time in da sectioned ward
Gots ta share me room, cause I ain’t insured
I’d be havin a blast, if I weren’t so bored
It’s rehab time in da sectioned ward


At alf past one it’s time for psychotherapy
It’s session ninety-seven, n I still don’t tink it’s helpn’ me
Me therapist looks like Kermit da Frog
He is got big bulging eyes, and no ‘air on his nog
He says, I is really feelin’ like we is making some progress
I said, how ya figure doc, cause I is actually feelin’ mo’ stressed
Mo depressed; mo regressed; got dis pain in me chest
Feels like I is only days away from cardiac arrest
But I is feelin’ so much better cause you said we is makin progress
He says, ya know ya really should try some positive thinkin'
I said, it’s easy for you doc – ya body ain’t dissolving and ya mind ain’t f*ckn’ shrinkin’


Chorus

It’s rehab time in da sectioned ward
Can’t wait to be assessed by da medical board
Dey say it won’t be long before I is fully restored
It’s rehab time in da sectioned ward

Did you take a lyrics writing class because I can tell you have good song writing structure and format. You really know how to put words together you sound like such an OG like you're from the bronx in NYC. But it sounds like you're from Australia which makes it so funny and the fact that you're impersonating yourself or someone else is just brilliant. I think you're super talented and coming from a singer song writer like my self I think you should take that most definitely as a compliment. You're definitely adding some flavor to this forum which I think this forum definitely needs. Hiphop needs more interesting subjects to rap or sing about. You're taking a traumatic experience of yours and making satire or comedy out of it through hiphop rhyme which gives great humor and fun to a seriouse topic that I'm sure many people can relate to especially in this forum.

Keep it up!!!! Much love

I has not taken classes. I learnt to bust rhymes on da mean streets of Perth, where you is got to be tuff; fast, and sexy to survive: Tick, tick, tick - guilty as charged.

I did spend some time in da Bronx, but dey is too soft dere for me liking, and I was gettin too much heat from da five-o, so I returned to Perth.

I is grateful for yo kind words. But dere is nothin funny bout me lyrics. It is painful for me just writin dem down: I recently heard dat Lorenzo as been put into isolation for tryin to remove suppositories. It was okay when e was jus tryin to remove is own. But when e started on other patients e had to be separated.

I can't help feelin it is my fault for not taken im in

You have a great talent describing "the Ward".
Been there myself many times. It brought back many sad memories of people who thought that fighting the Hospital was fighting back at their pain. Now I am able too see and appreciate all that the Staff has to deal with. They may seem hardened, some are some aren't, But I am glad that they were there for me, it made all the difference.

Thankyou all for ya kind words and support. While I is not denyin that I is talented, I is only representin tha truth as I has lived it.

Everythin that I is brought up in me rhymes as actually appened to me. Except for when I said that I ad 'bitch-slapped' me doctor. I want to clarify ere dat I is not, by nature, a violent person - unless, I is revoked. In which case, I is deadly, as me Granny’s cat, Moses, found out when I was five years old, and he ambushed me in da toilet.

Allow me to reirritate - I did not actually bitch-slap me doctor. I was speaking metaphysically. What I gave him was a verbal bitch-slappin.

I would also like to clarify that I is not racist against doctors. I hope dat I is not caused offence to anyone ere wit me rhymes about GPs. I know dat JohnnyM53 is a doctor in his spare time n dat he as helped many people ere wit his unorthopaedic methods - Respect!

I know dat dere is some good doctors out there: Dr Indiana Jones; Dr Who, and (me personal favourite) Dr Strangelove, to name just a few. ..
