[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
