Mind Playin' Tricks

I sit alone in my four-cornered room

Starin' at candles

Oh, that shit is on?

Let me drop some shit like this here, real smooth

At night, I can't sleep, I toss and turn

Candlesticks in the dark, visions of bodies bein' burned

Four walls just starin' at a ****

I'm paranoid, sleepin' with my finger on the trigger

My mama's always stressin' I ain't livin' right

But I ain't goin' out without a fight

See, every time my eyes close

I start sweatin' and blood starts comin' out my nose

It's somebody watchin' the AK

But I don't know who it is, so I'm watchin' my back

I can see him 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 **** tryna kill me

I'm poppin' in the clip when the wind blows

Every twenty seconds got me peepin' out my window

Investigatin' a joint for traps

Checkin' my telephone for taps

I'm starin' at the woman on the corner

It's fucked up when your minds playin' tricks on you

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 bein' tailed by the same sucker's headlights

Is it that fool that I ran off the block?

Or is it that **** last week that I shot?

Or is it the one I beat for five thousand dollars?

Thought he had 'caine, but it was Gold Medal flour

Reached under my seat, grabbed my popper for the suckers

Ain't no use to me lyin'

I was scareder than a motherfucker

Hooked a left into Popeye's and bailed out quick

If it's goin' down, let's get this shit over with

Here they come just like I figured

I got my hand on the motherfucking trigger

What I saw'll make your ass start gigglin'

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 lookin' over my shoulder and peepin' around corners

My mind is playin' tricks on me

My mind is playin' tricks on me
