Lyrics:<\/p>\n
I sit alone in my four-cornered room staring at candles
\nOh that sh*it is on?
\nLet me drop some sh*it like this here, real smooth
\nAt night I can’t sleep, I toss and turn
\nCandlesticks in the dark, visions of bodies being burned
\nFour walls just staring at a n*gga
\nI’m paranoid, sleeping with my finger on the trigger
\nMy mother’s always stressin’ I ain’t living right
\nBut I ain’t goin’ out without a fight
\nSee, every time my eyes close
\nI start sweating and blood starts coming out my nose
\nIt’s somebody watching the Ak’
\nBut I don’t know who it is so I’m watching my back
\nI can see him when I’m deep in the covers
\nWhen I awake I don’t see the motherf*cker
\nHe owns a black hat like I own
\nA black suit and a cane like my own
\nSome might say take a chill, B
\nBut f*ck that sh*it, there’s a n*gga trying to kill me
\nI’m popping in the clip when the wind blows
\nEvery twenty seconds got me peeping out my window
\nInvestigating the joint for traps
\nChecking my telephone for taps
\nI’m staring at the woman on the corner
\nIt’s f*cked up when your mind’s playing tricks on ya
\nI make big money
\nI drive big cars
\nEverybody know me
\nIt’s like I’m a movie star
\nBut late at night something ain’t right
\nI feel I’m being tailed by the same sucker’s headlights
\nIs it that fool that I ran off the block
\nOr is it that n*gga last week that I shot
\nOr is it the one I beat for five thousand dollars
\nThought he had caine but it was Gold Medal flour
\nReached under my seat, grabbed my popper for the suckers
\nAin’t no use to me lying
\nI was scareder than a motherf*cker
\nHooked a left into Popeye’s and bailed out quick
\nIf it’s going down let’s get this sh*it over with
\nHere they come just like I figured
\nI got my hand on the motherf*cking trigger
\nWhat I saw’ll make your ass start giggling
\nThree blind, crippled and crazy senior citizens
\nI live by the sword
\nI take my boys everywhere I go because I’m paranoid
\nI keep looking over my shoulder and peeping around corners
\nMy mind is playing tricks on me
\nDay by day it’s more impossible to cope
\nI feel like I’m the one that’s doing dope
\nCan’t keep a steady hand because I’m nervous
\nEvery Sunday morning I’m in service
\nPraying for forgiveness
\nAnd trying to find an exit out the business
\nI know the Lord is lookin’ at me
\nBut yet and still it’s hard for me to feel happy
\nI often drift when I drive
\nHaving fatal thoughts of suicide
\nBang and get it over with
\nAnd then I’m worry-free, but that’s bullsh*it
\nI got a little boy to look after
\nAnd if I died then my child would be a bastard
\nI had a woman down with me
\nBut to me it seemed like she was down to get me
\nShe helped me out in this sh*it
\nBut to me she was just another b*tch
\nNow she’s back with her mother
\nNow I’m realizing that I love her
\nNow I’m feeling lonely
\nMy mind is playing tricks on me
\nThis year Halloween fell on a weekend
\nMe and Geto Boys are trick-or-treating
\nRobbing little kids for bags
\nTill a old man got behind our a*s
\nSo we speeded up the pace
\nTook a look back and he was right before our face
\nHe’d be in for a squabble no doubt
\nSo I swung and hit the n*gga in his mouth
\nHe was going down we figured
\nBut this wasn’t no ordinary n*gga
\nHe stood about six or seven feet
\nNow that’s the n*gga I’d be seeing in my sleep
\nSo we triple-teamed on him
\nDropping them motherf*cking B’s on him
\nThe more I swung, the more blood flew
\nThen he disappeared and my boys disappeared too
\nThen I felt just like a fiend
\nIt wasn’t even close to Halloween
\nIt was dark as f*ck on the streets
\nMy hands were all bloody, from punching on the concrete
\nGod damn homey
\nMy mind is playing tricks on me<\/p>\n
