Mind Playing Tricks On Me (Radio Version) LRC歌词

[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
