| I sit alone in my four cornered room starinЂ™ at candles |
| Are we on the radio dukes? |
| Awww yeahgive it to me |
| Yeahat night I canЂ™t sleep |
| IЂ™m tossinЂ™ and turninЂ™ |
| I still got the candlesticks burninЂ™ |
| It ainЂ™t changed but itЂ™s a different time |
| And IЂ™m still playinЂ™ tricks with my mind |
| My mothers always stressinЂ™ that IЂ™m livinЂ™ wrong |
| But I got my smith and wesson so IЂ™m gettinЂ™ grown |
| And their lookinЂ™ at your little boys success |
| And I been thinkinЂ™IЂ™m dealinЂ™ with too much stress |
| So I stay up on my pЂ™s and qЂ™s |
| And watch out for the gЂ™s and fools |
| Cause the homies that I thought I had |
| See me stackinЂ™ up a grip |
| And they just started talkinЂ™ bad |
| So I stay away from outsiders |
| And when I roll throughit makes Ђ™em open they mouth wider |
| I used to think that you was my one and only homie |
| My mind was playinЂ™ tricks on me |
| My mind was playinЂ™ tricks on me |
| Yeah |
| Dear diary IЂ™m havinЂ™ a little trouble with my mind state |
| How many bullets would it take to change my mind? wait |
| Sometimes I want to end it but I donЂ™t though |
| They tell me see my pastor but I donЂ™t go |
| Cause they all be on this one street |
| So I take it on myself to thank him one deep |
| And give my money to the most needy |
| And never put it in the hands of the most greedy |
| Cause their puttinЂ™ a price tag on a manЂ™s word |
| And itЂ™s a fashion showso the men flirt |
| The world is endinЂ™ so they try to make us switch fast |
| And they openinЂ™ up these churches for some quick cash |
| And usinЂ™ the money foЂ™ they new cribs |
| While brother johnson just got kicked out where he lived |
| I follow no mancause man be phoney |
| My mind was playinЂ™ tricks on me |
| My mind was playinЂ™ tricks on me |
| Day by day itЂ™s more impossible to cope |
| I feel like IЂ™m the one thatЂ™s doinЂ™ dope |
| CanЂ™t seem to keep my mind on a steady track |
| IЂ™m all about gettinЂ™ mine so I study that |
| But it seems they want to get me |
| So I try to keep my nine millimeter wit me |
| Just in case they want to see a homies head blown |
| But I got to stay around to see my kids grown |
| I finally found a woman who could deal wit me |
| Back then I had a woman who wouldnЂ™t real wit me |
| And now sheЂ™s back with her old lady |
| And now I got it goinЂ™ on and they sure hate me |
| Now IЂ™m a gone and sheЂ™s alone |
| Hahahahaher mind was playinЂ™ tricks on her |
| One time for your motherfuckinЂ™ mind |
| BringinЂ™ it back like this here |
| 1−9-9−1 all the way to the 1−9-9−4 and they me face |
| My mind was playinЂ™ tricks on me |
