[00:01.30] I sit alone in my four-cornered room starin' at candles.Oh what shit is on?
[00:06.23] Let me drop some shit like this here
[00:10.20] At night I can't sleep, I toss and turn
[00:12.48] Candle sticks in the dark, visions of bodies bein' burned
[00:15.65] Four walls just starin' at a nigga
[00:17.73] I'm paranoid, sleepin' with my finger on the trigger
[00:20.58] My mother s always stressin' I ain't livin' right
[00:23.70] But I ain't goin' out without a fight
[00:25.94] See, everytime my eyes close
[00:27.54] I start sweatin', and blood starts comin' out my nose
[00:30.33] It's somebody watchin' the AK
[00:33.80] But I don't know who it is, so I'm watchin' my back
[00:35.91] I can see him when I'm deep in the covers
[00:38.47] When I awake I don't see the motherfucker
[00:40.97] He owns a black hat like I own
[00:43.29] A black suit and a cane like my own
[00:45.93] Some might say, "Take a chill, B"
[00:48.21] But fuck that shit, there s a nigga tryin' to kill me
[00:51.48] I'm pumpin' in the clip when the wind blows
[00:53.68] Every twenty seconds got me peepin' out my window
[00:56.10] Investigatin' the joint for traps
[00:58.49] checkin' my telephone for taps
[01:01.28] I'm starin' at the woman on the corner
[01:03.80] It's fucked up when your mind is playin' tricks on you
[01:07.72] .....
[01:20.93] I make big money, I drive big cars
[01:23.47] Everybody know me, it's like I'm a movie star
[01:25.91] But late at night, somethin' ain't right
[01:28.50] I feel I'm bein' tailed by the same sucker's head lights
[01:31.20] Is it that fool that I ran off the block
[01:33.51] Or is it that nigga last week that I shot
[01:36.15] Or is it the one I beat for five thousand dollars
[01:38.86] Thought he had Caine but it was gold medal flour
[01:41.33] Reach under my seat, grabbed my popper for the suckers
[01:43.93] Ain't no use to be lyin', I was scareder than a motherfucker
[01:47.67] But they're laughin' at pow pies and buried that quick
[01:50.05] If it's goin' down let's get this shit over with
[01:52.65] Here they come, just like I figured
[01:55.00] I got my hand on the motherfuckin' trigger
[01:57.40] What I saw'll make your ass start gigglin'
[01:59.97] Three black, crippled and crazy senior citizens
[02:02.72] I live by the sword
[02:04.69] I take my boys everywhere I go
[02:06.49] Because I'm paranoid
[02:07.81] I keep lookin' over my shoulder and peepin' around corners
[02:10.86] My mind is playin' tricks on me
[02:14.49] ......
[02:27.51] Day by day it's more impossible to cope
[02:30.64] I feel like I'm the one that's doin' dope
[02:33.78] Can't keep a steady hand because I'm nervous
[02:36.70] Every Sunday mornin' I'm in service
[02:38.63] Playin' for forgiveness
[02:40.59] And tryin' to find an exit out of the business
[02:43.79] I know the Lord is lookin' at me
[02:45.70] But yet and still it's hard for me to feel happy
[02:48.95] I often drift while I drive
[02:51.57] Havin' fatal thoughts of suicide
[02:53.95] Bang and get it over with
[02:56.05] And then I'm worry free, but that's bullshit
[02:59.17] I got a little boy to look after
[03:01.29] And if I died then my child would be a bastard
[03:03.80] I had a woman down with me
[03:06.25] But to me it seemed like she was down to get me
[03:09.23] She helped me out in this shit
[03:11.40] But to me she was just another bitch
[03:14.26] Now she's back with her mother
[03:16.47] Now I'm realizin' that I love her
[03:19.55] Now I'm feelin' lonely
[03:22.78] My mind is playin' tricks on me
[03:22.85] .....
[03:39.30] This year Halloween fell on a weekend
[03:42.45] Me and Geto Boyz are trick or treatin'
[03:45.40] Robbin' little kids for bags
[03:47.48] Till an old man got behind our ass
[03:49.72] So we speeded up the pace
[03:52.21] Took a look back and he was right before our face
[03:55.27] We'd be in for a squab, no doubt
[03:57.27] So I swung and hit the nigga in his mouth
[04:00.70] He was goin' down, we figured
[04:02.82] But this was no ordinary nigga
[04:05.38] He stood about six or seven feet
[04:07.78] Now, that's the nigga I'd been seein' in my sleep
[04:10.50] So we triple teamed on him
[04:12.96] Droppin' them motherfuckin' B's on him
[04:15.89] The more I swung the more blood flew
[04:18.00] Then he disappeared and my boys disappeared, too
[04:20.88] Then I felt just like a fiend
[04:23.60] It wasn't even close to Halloween
[04:25.64] It was dark as fuck on the streets
[04:28.30] My hands were all bloody from punchin' on the concrete
[04:31.15] God damn, homie, my mind is playin' tricks on me
