Geto Boys - My Mind Playin Tricks On Me lyrics

I sit alone in my four-cornered room staring at candles "Cool out man, we in the Radio dukes" We're in the Radio dukes "yeah" Ooh, alright, check this here At night I can't sleep, I toss and turn Candlesticks in the dark, visions of bodies bein' burned Four walls closin' in gettin' bigger I'm paranoid, sleepin' with my finger on the trigger My mother's always stressin' I ain't livin' right But I ain't going out without a fight See, everytime my eyes close I start sweatin' and blood starts comin' out my nose There's somebody watchin' the Ack' 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 hear a call burnin' rubber 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 I can't G, cause there's somebody trying to k** me I'm poppin' in the clip when the wind blows Every twenty seconds got me peepin' out my window Investigatin' the joint for traps Checkin' my telephone for taps I'm starin' at the woman on the corner It's messed up, when your mind is 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, somethin' ain't right I feel I'm being tailed by the same s**er's head lights Is it that fool that I ran off the block? Or is it that clown 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 Reach under my seat, grabbed my popper for the s**ers Ain't no use to me lyin, I was scareder than a mother***** Hooked a left into Pop eye's and bailed out quick If it's goin' down, let's get this sh** over with Here they come, just like I figured I got my hand on the chrome play the trigger What I saw'll make your a** start gigglin' Three black 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 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 mornin' I'm in service Prayin' for forgiveness And tryin' to find an exit out the business I know the Lord is lookin' at me But yet and still it's hard for me to feel happy I often drift while I drive Havin' fatal thoughts of suicide BANG and get it over with And then I'm worry-free, but that's nonsense I got a little boy to look after And if I died then my child would be a ba*tard I had a woman down with me But to me it seems like she was down to get me She helped me out in this But to me she was just another chick Now she's back with her mother Now I'm realizing that I love her Now I'm feelin' lonely My mind is playin' tricks on me
