And I go: Wait, what are you talking about, we decided!?  
My best interest?! How do you know what’s my best interest is?  
How can you say what my best interest is? What are you trying to say, I’m crazy?  
When I went to your schools, I went to your churches,  
I went to your institutional learning facilities?! So how can you say I’m crazy?
