Mind Playing Tricks on Me

Lyrics

I sit alone in my four cornered room
 Staring at candles
 Yo that shit is on?
 Let me drop some shit like this here
 At night I can't sleep
 I toss an turn
 Candlesticks in the dark
 Visions of bodies burned
 Four walls just staring at a nigga
 I'm paranoid sleepin with my finger on the trigger
 My mothers always stressin I ain't livin right
 But I ain't goin out without a fight
 See Everytime my eyes close
 I start sweating
 An blood starts comin out my nose
 Is somebody watchin me act
 But I don't know who it is
 So I'm watchin my back
 I can see em when I'm deep in the covers
 When I awake I don't see the motherfucker
 He owns a black hat like I own
 A black suit and a cane like my own
 Some might say take a chill B
 But fuck that shit there's a nigga tryna kill me
 I'm poppin in the clip when the wind blows
 Every 20 seconds got me peepin out my window
 Investigating the joint for traps
 Checkin my telephone for taps
 I'm staring at the woman on the corner
 It's fucked up when ya mind is playin tricks on ya
 ♪
 I make big money, I drive big cars
 Everybody know me
 It's like I'm a movie star
 But late at night, something ain't right
 I feel I'm being tailed by the same suckers headlights
 Is it that fool that I ran off the block
 Or is it that nigga last week that I shot
 Or is it the one I beat for five thousand dollars
 Thought he had Caine but it was Gold
 Made of flour
 Reached under my seat, grabbed a pumper for the suckers
 Ain't no used to me lying, I was scared er than a motherfucker
 Whipped a left in the Popeyes
 An barreled out quick if it's goin down let's get this shit over wit
 Here they come, just like I figured
 I got my hand on the motherfuckin trigger
 What I saw make ya ass start giggling
 Three blind, crippled and crazy senior citizens
 I live by the sword
 I take my boys everywhere I go
 Because I'm paranoid
 I keep looking over my shoulder
 Peeping around corners
 My mind is playin tricks on me
 ♪
 Day by day it's more impossible to cope
 I feel like I'm the one that's doing dope
 Can't keep a steady hand because I'm nervous
 Every Sunday morning I'm in service
 Prayin for forgiveness
 An tryna find an exit out the business
 I know the Lord is lookin at me
 But yet it's still hard for me to feel happy
 I often drift when I drive
 Having fatal thoughts of suicide
 Bang! And get it over with
 An then I'm worry free!
 But that's bullshit
 I got a little boy to look after
 And if I die then my child will be a bastard
 I had a woman down wit me
 But to me it seemed like she was down to get me
 She helped me out in this shit
 But to me she was just another bitch
 Now she's back with her mother
 Now I'm realizing that I love her
 Now I'm feeling lonely
 My mind is playin tricks on me
 ♪
 This year Halloween fell on the weekend
 Me an Geto boys are trick-r-treatin'
 Robbin little kids for bags
 Till an old man got behind our ass
 So we speeded up the pace
 Took a look back
 An he was right before our face
 He'd be in for a squabble no doubt
 So I swung an hit the nigga in his mouth
 He was goin down we figured
 But this wasn't no ordinary nigga
 He stood about six or seven feet
 Now that's the nigga I be seein in my sleep
 So we triple teamed on em
 Droppin them motherfuckin B's on em
 The more I swung, the more blood flew
 Then he disappeared
 And my boys disappeared too
 Then I felt just like a fiend
 It wasn't even close to Halloween
 It was dark as fuck on the streets
 My hands were all bloody
 From punchin on the concrete
 Goddamn homie
 My mind is playing tricks on me
