[02:47.73]My mind is playing tricks on me [02:50.43] [03:10.15]Day by day it's more impossible to cope [03:13.03] [03:14.71]I feel like I'm the one that's doing d**e [03:17.20] [03:18.07]Can't keep a steady hand because I'm nervous [03:20.76] [03:21.88]Every Sunday morning I'm in service [03:23.94] [03:25.19]Playing for forgiveness [03:26.13] [03:28.31]And trying to find an exit out of the business [03:30.70] [03:31.45]I know the Lord is looking at me [03:33.81] [03:34.88]But yet and still it's hard for me to feel happy [03:37.56] [03:39.12]I often drift while I drive [03:40.81] [03:42.24]Havin fatal thoughts of suicide [03:45.31] [03:45.87]BANG and get it over with [03:47.36] [03:48.48]And then I'm worry-free but that's bullshit [03:51.41] [03:52.42]I got a little boy to look after [03:54.78] [03:55.35]And if I died then my child would be a bastard [03:58.40] [03:59.28]I had a woman down with me [04:01.40] [04:02.52]But to me it seemed like she was down to get me [04:05.27] [04:06.52]She helped me out in this sh*t [04:08.20] [04:09.39]But to me she was just another b**ch [04:11.76] [04:12.82]Now she's back with her mother [04:14.26] [04:16.19]Now I'm realizing that I love her [04:18.06] [04:20.00]Now I'm feeling lonely [04:21.50] [04:24.24]My mind is playing tricks on me [04:26.87] [04:46.98]This year Halloween fell on a weekend [04:49.43] [04:50.24]Me and Geto Boyz are trick-or-treating [04:53.95]Robbing little kids for bags [04:57.08]Till an old man got behind our a** [04:59.94] [05:00.75]So we speeded up the pace [05:03.57]Took a look back and he was right before our face [05:06.94] [05:07.63]We'd be in for a squable no doubt [05:10.30] [05:10.93]So I swung and hit the ni**a in his mouth [05:13.74] [05:14.88]He was going down we figured [05:17.32] [05:17.83]But this was no ordinary ni**a [05:20.20] [05:20.94]He stood about six or seven feet [05:24.63]Now that's the ni**a I'd been seeing in my sleep [05:27.43] [05:28.12]So we triple-teamed on him [05:30.81] [05:31.49]Dropping them motherf**kin B's on him [05:34.24] [05:35.30]The more I swung the more blood flew [05:37.73] [05:38.42]Then he disappeared and my boys disappeared too [05:40.85] [05:42.16]Then I felt just like a fiend [05:44.59]It wasn't even close to Halloween [05:47.90] [05:48.78]It was dark as f**k on the streets [05:51.02] [05:51.64]My hands were all bloody from punching on the concrete [05:55.36] [05:56.55]God damn homie [05:58.23] [06:00.16]My mind is playing tricks on me
