Lyrics:
I sit alone in my four-cornered room
Starin' at candles
Oh, that shit is on?
Let me drop some shit like this here, real smooth
At night I can't sleep, I toss and turn
Candlesticks in the dark, visions of bodies bein' burned
Four walls just starin' at a nigga
I'm paranoid, sleepin' with my finger on the trigger
My mother's always stressin' I ain't livin' right
But I ain't goin' out without a fight
See, every time my eyes close
I start sweatin' and blood starts comin' out my nose
Is 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 motherfucker
He owns a black hat like I own
A black suit and a cane like my own
Some might say, "Take a chill, B."
But fuck that shit! There's a nigga tryin' to kill me
I'm poppin' in the clip when the wind blows
Every 20 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 fucked up when your mind's playin' tricks on ya
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 bein' tailed by the same sucker's headlights
Is it that fool that I ran off the block?
Or is it that nigga last week that I shot?
Or is it the one I beat for 5,000 dollars?
Thought he had 'caine, but it was Gold Medal flour
Reached under my seat, grabbed my popper for the suckers
Ain't no use to me lyin', I was scareder than a motherfucker
Hooked a left into Popeye's and bailed out quick
If it's goin' down, let's get this shit over with
Here they come, just like I figured
I got my hand on the motherfuckin' trigger
What I saw'll make your ass start gigglin'
Three blind, 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
Day by day it's more impossible to cope
I feel like I'm the one that's doin' dope
Can't keep a steady hand, because I'm nervous
Every Sunday morning 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 when 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 die, then my child'll 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 shit
But to me she was just another bitch
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
This year, Halloween fell on a weekend
Me and Geto Boys are trick-or-treatin'
Robbin' little kids for bags
'Til a lawman got behind our ass
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 nigga in his mouth
He was goin' down, we figured
But this wasn't no ordinary nigga
He stood about six or seven feet
Now that's the nigga I be seein' in my sleep
So we triple-teamed on him
Droppin' them motherfuckin' B'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 fuck on the streets
My hands were all bloody from punchin' on the concrete
Goddamn, homie!
My mind is playin' tricks on me - Hudba
This song was playing in 1965 when my grandpa was robbing a guy in a home invasion.😮 When he held the guy at gunpoint, he was staring at himself in the mirror and opened fire.🔫🪞His mind was playing tricks on him.🧠😏
Good one.😂
Thanks, bro.😎 I do my best to make everyone laugh.🤣
You a call center duché who may as well be A.I on the keys. Remind me to jump in your coding and throw in a 2.
In 1991-92 me and some friends used to listen to the Geto Boys remake of this going to school and on the way home. It was our senior year. The memories! R.I.P. Bushwick Bill! I'm 50 but every halloween i still rob little kids for bags!
😂😂😂😂😂 This was hilarious
I know this is for entertainment & laughs, but DAMN, I feel the pain in this version... This is dope...
Same here 💯 love this version too.

Hellayah

🤣🤣bravo good sir
I bought my first Geto Boys cassette "grip it on that other level" when i was 13 in 1989. It was thier second release. I've bought every one since. Very cool. One of the coolest things I've ever heard.
Same here brother GB are the backbone of hip-hop
Thinking they wrote this 😮 wow ghetto boys 😐
This one gets better every time I listen 🎶 ❤
My Granddad told me this was his first concert back in the 50's and he was still singing this song until the day he died. Miss my granddaddy so much. RIP
Aww hell
Leonard Raynard-Gillis and the Soul Inspectors😂🔥
damn this goes hard, dude enable the save button
This joint is stupid dope❤
A Commadores version of this song could be cold.
No
Ive heard this song plenty of times but NEVER have I completely interrupted these words. This version really brought the words to life on a whole new level.
The best one
Try Many Men
My favorite lick of this tune is the "I aint goin out without a fight" part. I felt it, Ai to Ai^^. 🔺
Jesus this is fuckin incredible
dude, geto boys was one my favs, crazy to be listening to this!! awesome!
Dope Solid Material my brotha...Dayum!!!🔥🔥
This was on the soundtrack of Dolomite in London!😊
I know we doing jokes and all, but was there really a Dolomite in London movie.
@@melite78 you never know!😜
@@melite78 that's not the right question! The right question is when we will get a Dolemite in London movie! Hell I'll make it when the technology is ready, and I'll make damn sure that this song is the title track! Because this song explains *why* Dolemite is in London!
This is my favorite song now!
Incredible.
I love geto boys but this version fire 🔥 I love it 😍
Got no business going this hard 😎✊🏾
Brother, you gotta do more soul covers of gangster rap please! This shit is too hard - I listen to a lot of soul and funk on the daily, and a man who ain't even real is my favorite soul singer now 😂 😂 😂 😂.
You gotta do more, this shit is like dolemite releasing an album - I've had this song on repeat for 2 days now lol
Any recommendations for songs? I was attempting ambitionz az a ridah.
@@Keaton177tupac would be a great idea, think ice cube today was a good day or tupacs how do you want it as a soul song lol
Hell you might be able to make magic with biggies big Poppa lol

This put the *MOST* biggest smile on my face😮💨🌿
Got the Floaters
(Verse 1)
Looking up at the sky, what do I see?
Little spots floating, winking back at me
Thought it was my eyes playing tricks, oh no
But then I remembered last night’s show
(Chorus)
Got the floaters, in my vision line
Not from the stars, but a lover’s sign
Got the floaters, after last night’s spree
A playful reminder of you and me
(Verse 2)
We had our fun, in the heat of the night
Things got wild, and it felt just right
Now every time I blink or stare
Those little floaters tell me you were there
(Chorus)
Got the floaters, in my vision line
Not from the stars, but a lover’s sign
Got the floaters, after last night’s spree
A playful reminder of you and me
(Bridge)
It’s like a disco in my eyes, so groovy and bright
A funky little souvenir from our delight
Every time I gaze at the blue above
I see the proof of our wild love
(Chorus)
Got the floaters, in my vision line
Not from the stars, but a lover’s sign
Got the floaters, after last night’s spree
A playful reminder of you and me
(Outro)
So next time we get down, just keep in mind
Those floaters will follow, a trace you’ll find
But I don’t mind, it’s a sweet delight
Got the floaters, from our funky night… (what a nice duet)
Gotdamn homie.....my mind's playing tricks ooooooooon.......meeeeh
I remember when I was 16 I bout my first Cadillac and I played this song that’s the day I met the mother of my first set of kids 🤣😂🤣
Damn son, a cadillac at 16? The heroine game was crazy good back then!
@@sumavargas3147He was def slanging that dog food
Lol. I had an 87 Cadillac Seville when I was 16. I worked at a movie theater and then Electronic's Boutique. No heroine required! 😂😂
How did you buy a car at 16
@user-xz8id9qy5y I've been working since I was 14 years old. I saved up some money and bought it from a title loan place. It wasn't even that expensive. It had a fair amount of miles on it though.
Loves this
1.25 Does it for me!🎼
When I started hearing these I knew eventually this song was going to be one. I'm surprised I'm 3 weeks behind on this one.
This was straight flamez
This is Hot just as good as the original version 👌👍
This is fire but damn if this song sounds dark(er) as a Motown joint
Theme to the story about a Viet Nam vet in 72'

Brad Jordan and the Motown Boys, 1966. I still remember when Casey Kasem first played this song.😏😏
