[Verse 1]
Bm7At night I can't sleep, I toss and tEm7urn
Bm7Candlesticks in the dark, visions of Em7bodies bein' burned
Bm7Four walls closin' in gettin' biggerEm7  
Bm7I'm paranoid, sleepin' with my fingeEm7r on the trigger
Bm7My mother's always stressin' I ain't Em7livin' right
Bm7But I ain't going out without a fighEm7t
Bm7See, everytime my eyes closeEm7  
Bm7I start sweatin' and blood starts coEm7min' out my nose
Bm7There's somebody watchin' the Ack'Em7  
Bm7But I don't know who it is, so I'm wEm7atchin' my back
Bm7I can see him when I'm deep in the cEm7overs
Bm7When I awake I hear a call burnin' rEm7ubber
Bm7He owns a black hat like I ownEm7  
Bm7A black suit and a cane like my ownEm7  
Bm7Some might say, "Take a chill, B"Em7  
Bm7But I can't G, cause there's somebodEm7y trying to kill me
Bm7I'm poppin' in the clip when the winEm7d blows
Bm7Every twenty seconds got me peepin' Em7out my window
Bm7Investigatin' the joint for trapsEm7  
Bm7Checkin' my telephone for tapsEm7  
Bm7I'm starin' at the woman on the cornEm7er
Bm7It's messed up, when your mind is plEm7ayin' tricks on you
[Main Riff]
[Verse 2]
Bm7I make big money, I drive big carsEm7  
Bm7Everybody know me, it's like I'm a mEm7ovie star
Bm7But late at night, somethin' ain't rEm7ight
Bm7I feel I'm being tailed by the same Em7sucker's head lights
Bm7Is it that fool that I ran off the bEm7lock?
Bm7Or is it that clown last week that I Em7shot?
Bm7Or is it the one I beat for five thoEm7usand dollars
Bm7Thought he had caine but it was Gold Em7Medal Flour
Bm7Reach under my seat, grabbed my poppEm7er for the suckers
Bm7Ain't no use to me lyin, I was scareEm7der than a mother*****
Bm7Hooked a left into Pop eye's and baiEm7led out quick
Bm7If it's goin' down, let's get this sEm7hit over with
Bm7Here they come, just like I figuredEm7  
Bm7I got my hand on the chrome play the Em7trigger
Bm7What I saw'll make your ass start giEm7gglin'
Bm7Three black crippled and crazy senioEm7r citizens
Bm7I live by the swordEm7  
Bm7I take my boys everywhere I go, becaEm7use I'm paranoid
Bm7I keep lookin' over my shoulder and Em7peepin' around corners
Bm7My mind is playin' tricks on meEm7  
[Main Riff]
[Verse 3]
Bm7Day by day it's more impossible to cEm7ope
Bm7I feel like I'm the one that's doing Em7dope
Bm7Can't keep a steady hand because I'm Em7nervous
Bm7Every Sunday mornin' I'm in serviceEm7  
Bm7Prayin' for forgivenessEm7  
Bm7And tryin' to find an exit out the bEm7usiness
Bm7I know the Lord is lookin' at meEm7  
Bm7But yet and still it's hard for me tEm7o feel happy
Bm7I often drift while I driveEm7  
Bm7Havin' fatal thoughts of suicideEm7  
Bm7BANG and get it over withEm7  
Bm7And then I'm worry-free, but that's Em7nonsense
Bm7I got a little boy to look afterEm7  
Bm7And if I died then my child would be Em7a bastard
Bm7I had a woman down with meEm7  
Bm7But to me it seems like she was down Em7to get me
Bm7She helped me out in thisEm7  
Bm7But to me she was just another chickEm7  
Bm7Now she's back with her motherEm7  
Bm7Now I'm realizing that I love herEm7  
Bm7Now I'm feelin' lonelyEm7  
Bm7My mind is playin' tricks on meEm7  
[Main Riff]
[Verse 4]
Bm7This year Halloween fell on a weekenEm7d
Bm7Me and Geto Boys are trick-or-treatiEm7n'
Bm7Robbin' little kids for bagsEm7  
Bm7Till an old man got behind our ragsEm7  
Bm7So we speeded up the paceEm7  
Bm7Took a look back, and he was right bEm7efore our face
Bm7He'd be in for a squabble no doubtEm7  
Bm7So I swung and and tried to take him Em7out
Bm7He was goin' down, we plannedEm7  
Bm7But this wasn't no ordinary manEm7  
Bm7He stood about six or seven feetEm7  
Bm7Now, that's the creep I'd be seein' Em7in my sleep
Bm7So we triple-teamed on himEm7  
Bm7Droppin' them 5th ward B's on himEm7  
Bm7The more I swung the more blood flewEm7  
Bm7Then he disappeared and my boys disaEm7ppeared too
Bm7Then I felt just like a fiendEm7  
Bm7It wasn't even close to HalloweenEm7  
Bm7It was dark as death on the streetsEm7  
Bm7My hands were all bloody from punchiEm7ng on the concrete
Bm7God damn, homieEm7  
Bm7My mind is playin' tricks on me Em7  
Bm7 Em7
