My Mind Playin Tricks On Me Lyrics - Geto Boys

Intro: Scarface 

I sit alone in my four-cornered room staring at candles 

Oh that **** is on? Heh 

Let me drop some **** like this here, real smooth 

Verse One: Scarface 

At night I can't sleep, I toss and turn 

Candle sticks in the dark, visions of bodies bein burned 

Four walls just starin at a ***** 

I'm paranoid, sleepin with my finger on the trigger 

My mother's always stressin I ain't livin right 

But I ain't going out without a fight 

See, everytime my eyes close 

I start sweatin, and blood starts comin out my nose 

It's somebody watchin the Ak' 

But I don't know who it is, so I'm watchin my back 

I can see him when I'm deep in the covers 

When I awake I don't see the ************ 

He owns a black hat like I own 

A black suit and a cane like my own 

Some might say, "Take a chill, be " 

But **** that ****! There's a ***** trying to kill me 

I'm poppin in the clip when the wind blows 

Every twenty seconds got me peepin out my window 

Investigatin the joint for traps 

Checkin my telephone for taps 

I'm starin at the woman on the corner 

It's ****ed up when your mind is playin tricks on ya 

Verse Two: Willie D 

I make big money, I drive big cars 

Everybody know me, it's like I'm a movie star 

But late at night, somethin ain't right 

I feel I'm being tailed by the same sucker's head lights 

Is it that fool that I ran off the block? 

Or is it that ***** last week that I shot? 

Or is it the one I beat for five thousand dollars 

Thought he had 'caine but it was Gold Medal Flour 

Reach under my seat, grabbed my popper for the suckers 

Ain't no use to me lyin, I was scareder than a ************ 

Hooked a left into Popeye's and bailed out quick 

If it's goin down let's get this **** over with 

Here they come, just like I figured 

I got my hand on the **********in trigger 

What I saw'll make your *** start gigglin 

Three black, crippled and crazy senior citizens 

I live by the sword 

I take my boys everywhere I go, because I'm paranoid 

I keep lookin over my shoulder and peepin around corners 

My mind is playin tricks on me 

Verse Three: Scarface 

Day by day it's more impossible to cope 

I feel like I'm the one that's doing dope 

Can't keep a steady hand because I'm nervous 

Every Sunday mornin I'm in service 

Prayin for forgiveness 

And tryin to find an exit out the business 

I know the Lord is lookin at me 

But yet and still it's hard for me to feel happy 

I often drift while I drive 

Havin fatal thoughts of suicide 

BANG and get it over with 

And then I'm worry-free, but that's bullshit 

I got a little boy to look after 

And if I died then my child would be a bastard 

I had a woman down with me 

But to me it seemed like she was down to get me 

She helped me out in this **** 

But to me she was just another ***** 

Now she's back with her mother 

Now I'm realizing that I love her 

Now I'm feelin lonely 

My mind is playin tricks on me 

Verse Four: Bushwick Bill 

This year Halloween fell on a weekend 

Me and Geto Boys are trick-or-treatin 

Robbin little kids for bags 

Till an old man got behind our *** 

So we speeded up the pace 

Took a look back, and he was right before our face 

He'd be in for a squabble no doubt 

So I swung and hit the ***** in his mouth 

He was goin down, we figured 

But this was no ordinary ***** 

He stood about six or seven feet 

Now, that's the ***** I'd be seein in my sleep 

So we triple-teamed on him 

Droppin them **********in be 's on him 

The more I swung the more blood flew 

Then he disappeared and my boys disappeared, too 

Then I felt just like a fiend 

It wasn't even close to Halloween 

It was dark as **** on the streets 

My hands were all bloody, from punchin on the concrete 

God damn, homie 

My mind is playin tricks on me
