Lyrics w/ Chords
=============================================================================
[Verse 1]
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
At night I can't sleep, I toss and turn
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Candlesticks in the dark, visions of bodies bein' burned
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Four walls closin' in gettin' bigger
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
I'm paranoid, sleepin' with my finger on the trigger
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
My mother's always stressin' I ain't livin' right
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
But I ain't going out without a fight
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
See, everytime my eyes close
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
I start sweatin' and blood starts comin' out my nose
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
There's somebody watchin' the Ack'
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
But I don't know who it is, so I'm watchin' my back
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
I can see him when I'm deep in the covers
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
When I awake I hear a call burnin' rubber
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
He owns a black hat like I own
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
A augmentedA black suit and a cane like my own
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Some might say, "Take a chill, B"
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
But I can't G, cause there's somebody trying to kill me
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
I'm poppin' in the clip when the wind blows
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Every twenty seconds got me peepin' out my window
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Investigatin' the joint for traps
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Checkin' my telephone for taps
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
I'm starin' at the woman on the corner
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
It's messed up, when your mind is playin' tricks on you
[Main Riff]
[Verse 2]
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
I make big money, I drive big cars
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Everybody know me, it's like I'm a movie star
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
But late at night, somethin' ain't right
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
I feel I'm being tailed by the same sucker's head lights
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Is it that fool that I ran off the block?
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Or is it that clown last week that I shot?
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Or is it the one I beat for five thousand dollars
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Thought he had caine but it was Gold Medal Flour
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Reach under my seat, grabbed my popper for the suckers
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Ain't no use to me lyin, I was scareder than a mother*****
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Hooked a left into Pop eye's and bailed out quick
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
If it's goin' down, let's get this shit over with
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Here they come, just like I figured
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
I got my hand on the chrome play the trigger
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
What I saw'll make your ass start gigglin'
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Three black crippled and crazy senior citizens
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
I live by the sword
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
I take my boys everywhere I go, because I'm paranoid
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
I keep lookin' over my shoulder and peepin' around corners
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
My mind is playin' tricks on me
[Main Riff]
[Verse 3]
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Day by day it's more impossible to cope
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
I feel like I'm the one that's doing dope
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Can't keep a steady hand because I'm nervous
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Every Sunday mornin' I'm in service
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Prayin' for forgiveness
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
And tryin' to find an exit out the business
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
I know the Lord is lookin' at me
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
But yet and still it's hard for me to feel happy
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
I often drift while I drive
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Havin' fatal thoughts of suicide
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
BANG and get it over with
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
And then I'm worry-free, but that's nonsense
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
I got a little boy to look after
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
And if I died then my child would be a bastard
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
I had a woman down with me
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
But to me it seems like she was down to get me
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
She helped me out in this
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
But to me she was just another chick
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Now she's back with her mother
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Now I'm realizing that I love her
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Now I'm feelin' lonely
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
My mind is playin' tricks on me
[Main Riff]
[Verse 4]
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
This year Halloween fell on a weekend
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Me and Geto Boys are trick-or-treatin'
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Robbin' little kids for bags
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Till an old man got behind our rags
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
So we speeded up the pace
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Took a look back, and he was right before our face
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
He'd be in for a squabble no doubt
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
So I swung and and tried to take him out
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
He was goin' down, we planned
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
But this wasn't no ordinary man
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
He stood about six or seven feet
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Now, that's the creep I'd be seein' in my sleep
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
So we triple-teamed on him
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Droppin' them 5th ward B's on him
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
The more I swung the more blood flew
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Then he disappeared and my boys disappeared too
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
Then I felt just like a fiend
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
It wasn't even close to Halloween
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
It was dark as death on the streets
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
My hands were all bloody from punching on the concrete
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
God damn, homie
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
My mind is playin' tricks on me
Bm7Bm7 E minor 7Em7
