[00:00.811] |
I sit alone in my four-cornered room staring at candles |
[00:04.431] |
Oh, we on the radio, dude? |
[00:05.674] |
Oh, alright |
[00:10.756] |
At night I can't sleep, I toss and turn |
[00:13.180] |
Candlesticks in the dark, visions of bodies being burned |
[00:16.204] |
Four walls closing in, gettin bigger |
[00:18.327] |
I'm paranoid, sleeping with my finger on the trigger |
[00:21.562] |
My mother's always stressin' I ain't living right |
[00:23.942] |
But I ain't going out without a fight |
[00:26.560] |
See, every time my eyes close |
[00:28.381] |
I start sweating and blood starts coming out my nose |
[00:31.782] |
It's somebody watching the Ak' |
[00:34.089] |
But I don't know who it is, so I'm watching my back |
[00:36.774] |
I can see him when I'm deep in the covers |
[00:39.132] |
When I awake I hear em call "burn the rubber" |
[00:41.797] |
He owns a black hat like I own |
[00:44.342] |
A black suit and a 'caine like my own |
[00:46.959] |
Some might say, "Take a chill, B." |
[00:49.023] |
But I can't G, cuz there's somebody trying to kill me |
[00:52.187] |
I'm poppin' in the clip when the wind blows |
[00:54.294] |
Every 20 seconds got me peeping out my window |
[00:57.429] |
Investigating the joint for traps |
[00:59.964] |
Checking my telephone for taps |
[01:02.699] |
I'm staring at the woman on the corner |
[01:04.893] |
It's messed up when your mind's playing tricks on ya |
[01:21.946] |
I make big money, I drive big cars |
[01:24.274] |
Everybody know me; it's like I'm a movie star |
[01:26.951] |
But late at night, something ain't right |
[01:29.474] |
I feel I'm being tailed by the same sucker's headlights |
[01:32.292] |
Is it that fool that I ran off the block? |
[01:34.563] |
Or is it that clown last week that I shot? |
[01:37.276] |
Or is it the one I beat for 5000 dollars? |
[01:39.896] |
Thought he had 'caine, but it was Gold Medal flour |
[01:42.331] |
Reached under my seat, grabbed my popper for the suckers |
[01:44.756] |
Ain't no use to me lying, I was scareder than a mother |
[01:48.000] |
Hooked a left into Popeye's and bailed out quick |
[01:50.590] |
If it's going down, let's get it over with |
[01:53.617] |
Here they come just like I figured |
[01:55.811] |
I got my hand on the chrome-plated trigger |
[01:58.714] |
What I saw will make you start gigglin' |
[02:00.907] |
Three blind, crippled and crazy senior citizens |
[02:04.092] |
I live by the sword |
[02:05.751] |
I take my boys everywhere I go, because I'm paranoid |
[02:08.923] |
I keep looking over my shoulder |
[02:10.576] |
And peeping around corners; my mind is playing tricks on me |
[02:28.888] |
Day by day it's more impossible to cope |
[02:32.319] |
I feel like I'm the one that's doing **** |
[02:34.851] |
Can't keep a steady hand, because I'm nervous |
[02:37.500] |
Every Sunday morning I'm in service |
[02:40.102] |
Praying for forgiveness |
[02:42.512] |
And tryin' to find an exit out the business |
[02:45.113] |
I know the Lord is looking at me |
[02:47.355] |
But yet and still it's hard for me to feel happy |
[02:50.596] |
I often drift while I drive |
[02:52.887] |
Having fatal thoughts of suicide |
[02:55.468] |
Bang and get it over with |
[02:57.617] |
And then I'm worry-free, but that's nonsense |
[03:00.481] |
I got a little boy to look after |
[03:02.750] |
And if I died then my child would be a bastard |
[03:05.420] |
I had a woman down with me |
[03:07.972] |
But to me it seemed like she was down to get me |
[03:11.003] |
She helped me out in this |
[03:13.068] |
But to me she was just another chick |
[03:15.649] |
Now she's back with her mother |
[03:18.570] |
Now I'm realizing that I love her |
[03:21.113] |
Now I'm feeling lonely |
[03:24.231] |
My mind is playing tricks on me |
[03:41.215] |
This year Halloween fell on a weekend |
[03:44.105] |
Me and Geto Boys are trick-or-treatin' |
[03:46.676] |
Robbing little kids for bags |
[03:49.042] |
Till a law man got behind our rags |
[03:51.878] |
So we speeded up the pace |
[03:53.657] |
Took a look back and he was right before our face |
[03:56.673] |
He'd be in for a squabble, no doubt |
[03:59.141] |
So I swung and tried to take him out |
[04:02.153] |
He was going down, we planned |
[04:04.236] |
But this wasn't no ordinary man |
[04:07.090] |
He stood about six or seven feet |
[04:09.476] |
Now that's a creep I'd be seeing in my sleep |
[04:12.284] |
So we triple-teamed on him |
[04:14.865] |
Dropping them 5th Ward B's on him |
[04:17.382] |
The more I swung, the more blood flew |
[04:19.567] |
Then he disappeared and my boys disappeared too |
[04:22.620] |
Then I felt just like a fiend |
[04:25.115] |
It wasn't even close to Halloween |
[04:27.455] |
It was dark as death on the streets |
[04:29.511] |
My hands were all bloody, from punching on the concrete |
[04:33.194] |
Aw man, homie |
[04:35.992] |
My mind is playing tricks on me |
