My Mind Playin Tricks on Me chords
Start Jamming...
I [Ebm] sit alone in my four [Fm] cornered room staring at [Ebm] candles
[Fm] Oh that shit is on?
[Ebm] Let me [Fm] drop some shit like this here [Ebm] Yes
[F]
[Eb] At night I can't sleep, I force a [F] turn
Candlesticks in the [Ebm] dark, visions of bodies being [F] burned
Four [Ebm] walls just staring at [Fm] a nigga
I'm paranoid, [Ebm] sleeping with my finger on [F] the trigger
[Ebm] My mother's always stressing I ain't living right
But I ain't going out without [F] a fight
[Ebm] See every time my eyes [F] close
I start sweating, [Ebm] the blood starts coming out [F] my nose
[Ebm] There's somebody watching me act
But I don't know who it is, so [F] I'm watching my back
I [Eb] can see him when I'm deep in [F] the covers
When I [Ebm] awake I don't see the [F] motherfucker
He owns [Ebm] a black hat like I own
[F] A black [Ebm] suit and a cane like [F] my own
Some [Ebm] might say take a chill B
[F] But fuck that shit, there's a nigga trying to kill me
I'm popping in the clip when the wind blows
Every twenty [Ebm] seconds got me peeping out [F] my window
[Ebm] Investigating a joint for [F] trash
[Ebm] Taking my telephone, [F] text
[Ebm] I'm staring at the woman on [F] the corner
It's [Ebm] fucked up when your mind's playing [Eb] tricks on you
[Fm] [Ebm] [Eb]
[Fm] [Ebm] [Eb]
[Fm] [Ebm] I [F] make big money, [Ebm] I drive big cars
Everybody know me
It's like I'm a movie star, [F] but late at night
[Ebm] Something ain't right
[F] I feel I'm being tailed by [Ebm] the same sucker's headlights
[F] Is it that move that [Ebm] I ran off the block?
[F] Or is it that nigga [Ebm] last week that I shot?
[F] Or is it the one I beat [Ebm] for five thousand dollars?
[F] Thought he had cane but it [Ebm] was gold, not a flower
[F] He stood in my seat, grabbed [Ebm] my pommel for the suckers
Ain't [F] no use to me lying, I [Ebm] was scared of that motherfucker
[F]
Put [Ebm] the left in the Popeyes [F] and burned down quick
If [Ebm] it's going down, let's get this shit [F] over with
It [Ebm] ain't hunt, just like [F] I figured
I got my head on the motherfucking trigger
When [Ebm] I saw him, make your ass start giggling
[Eb] Three black crippling crazy senior [F] citizens
[Ebm] I live by the swamp
[F] I take my boys [Ebm] everywhere I go
Because [F] I'm paranoid
I [Eb] keep looking over my shoulder and peeping around corners
[Ebm] My mind is playing [F] tricks on [Eb] me
[Fm] [Ebm] [F]
[Eb] [Fm] [Ebm] [F]
[Eb] [Fm] [Ebm] [Fm] Day by day it's more [Ebm] impossible to cope
I feel like I'm the one that's [F] doing dope
[Ebm] Can't keep a steady hand because [F] I'm nervous
[Ebm] Every Sunday morning I'm [F] in service
[Ebm] Praying for forgiveness
[F] [Ebm] And trying to find an exit out [F] the business
[Eb] I know the Lord is looking at me
But yet these feelings offer me to feel [F] happy
[Ebm] I often drift when I [F] drive
[Ebm] Having fatal thoughts of [F] suicide
[Ebm] Faggot, get it over with
And then I'm worry free, but [F] that's bullshit
I [Ebm] got a little boy to look [F] after
And if [Ebm] I die, then my child will be [F] a bastard
[Ebm] I had a woman die with me
[Eb] But to me it seemed like she was down [F] to get me
She helped me out in this shit
But [Ebm] to me she was just another [F] bitch
Now [Ebm] she's back with her mother
[Bb] [Eb] Now I'm realizing that [F] I love her
[Ebm] Now I'm feeling lonely
[F] My mind is playing tricks [Eb] on me
[Fm] [Ebm] [F]
[Eb] [Fm] [Ebm] [Eb]
[Fm] [Ebm] [F]
This year Halloween fell on a weekend
Me and ghetto boys were trick or treating
Robbing little kids for bags
Till [Ebm] an old man got behind our [F] ass
So we speeded up the pace
Took a look [Ebm] back and he was right before [F] our face
He'd [Ebm] be in for a squabble no doubt
So I swung and hit the nigga in [F] his mouth
[Ebm] He was going down we [F] figured
But this [Ebm] wasn't no ordinary [F] nigga
He [Ebm] stood about 6 or 7 [F] feet
Now that's [Ebm] the nigga I be seeing in [F] my sleep
[Ebm] So we triple teamed on him
Dropping them motherfucking [F] bees on him
The [Ebm] more I swung the more [F] blood flew
Then he disappeared and my boys disappeared too
[Ebm] Then I felt just like [F] a fiend
[Ebm] It wasn't even close to [F] Halloween
It [Ebm] was dark as fuck on the [Fm] streets
My hands were all [Ebm] bloody from punching on [F] the concrete
[Ebm] Goddamn, [F] homie
[Ebm] My mind is playing [Fm] tricks on me
[Ebm] [Fm] [Ebm] [Fm] [Ebm] [Fm] [Ebm] [Fm]
