if, like me, you've been sitting too long getting moldy on the shelf for reasons of mental health

I’ve got a point to be proving to myself, sitting too long getting mouldy on the shelf
Cos I’m too far gone when it comes to mental health
Rather be sick in the head with a little bit of wealth
Tá mé tinn de bheith ag glacadh comhairle stráinséara
Mar tá an cinneadh a dhéanann daoine domsa dáinséarach
Ag éirí leadránach, go síoraí ag caint cac’
Níl mé dul a bheith ag éisteacht as seo amach

Seasaigí, tú ar do ghlúine they’re doing it to ya constantly
An individual is surely what ya want to be, you’re born to stand out
Live your fantasy before they eat you up and spit you out and laugh at ye
Fan socair, bí díograiseach is cloígh le do phlean mucker
There’ll be push backs but relax siocair, gur seo do thriailse
Do shaol atá ann brother
It’s a philosophy

Ní ligim don domhan mór riamh dul i bhfeidhm ar an fhíorshaol atá ar an taobh istigh
To be affecting me because cibé rud atá le tarlú is always how it’s meant to be
So goitse, cogar, cloígh leat féin is ná héist le haon fucker
Ní thuigeann siad tusa mar a thuigeann tusa tusa, níor shiúil siad i do chosa
So tóg seans, seans go n-éireoidh sé níos fusa

I prayed to the devil, let me be rich instead, he said
“You’ll no longer be skint but you’ll be sick in the head
Ní bheidh tú riamh sna sráideanna ach agatsa, beidh fadhbanna
You want this for náideanna sa bhreis when you’re paid?”
Yes!

“You’re a mad **** Mo Chara”

Sound! I’ll be back for a fat loan tomorrow, that’s me never getting dressed
Depressed and always para, throwing tantrums in my mansion, am I embarrassed?
Nah

I’ve got a point to be proving to myself, sitting too long getting mouldy on the shelf
Cos I’m too far gone when it comes to mental health
Rather be sick in the head with a little bit of wealth
I’m sick of taking strangers’ advice
Because people’s decisions are dangerous for me
Getting bored, always talking shit
I’m not going to listen from here on out
Sit up, you on your knees they’re doing it to ya constantly
An individual is surely what ya want to be, you’re born to stand out
Live your fantasy before they eat you up and spit you out and laugh at ye
Stay calm, be diligent and stick to your plan mucker
There’ll be push backs but relax because this is your trial
Your life is there brother
It’s a philosophy

The world never lets the real world interfere with the real world inside
To be affecting me because whatever happens is always how it’s meant to be
So come close, whisper, obey yourself and don’t listen to any fucker
They don’t understand you as you understand, they didn’t walk in your shoes
So take a chance, maybe it’ll be easier

I’ve got a point to be proving to myself, sitting too long getting mouldy on the shelf

I’m sick of taking strangers’ advice

Getting bored, always talking shit
I’m not going to listen from here on out

I prayed to the devil, let me be rich instead, he said
“You’ll no longer be skint but you’ll be sick in the head
You’ll never be on the streets but you, you’ll have problems
You want this for extra zeros when you're paid?”
Yes!

"You're a mad **** My Friend"

Sound! I'll be back for a fat loan tomorrow, that's me never getting dressed
Depressed and always para, throwing tantrums in my mansion, am I embarrassed?
Nah

~ KNEECAP, "Sick in the Head"

they hecking f-word Smashed on Jimmy Fallon last year
If I went on about how much I love this band it'd be a book

I'd be all too glad to provide links to video,
but that red square that some folks like to avoid
