Paranoia
I’m in a state of panic mode
Thinking of a gruesome reality that the planet hold
What will the day unfold?
reminisce of the days of old
When moms and pops were there
now I tremble like a Jell-O mold
over a rock road
I scream
from the fear of the unknown
it’s still dark even though the sun
has shown
amongst many but I feel alone
entrapped and endangered species
the climax of a Stephen King thesis
for his drama class
I praying for this time to past
fright has my heart in grasp
crushing my stronghold on reality
appears to be there
but it’s a fallacy
cautious of being a causality
temporary abnormality
uh can I get 2 of those?
Have no fear what you see and hear
may not be clear
It’s paranoia, paranoiaDon’t be afraid it will be ok
It will go away
It’ s paranoia, paranoia
Hey yo brown man, I think I might have over did it
I'm a turn off my equipment and come back in a few
minutes
Get some air; I need to go gain my composure
Go upstairs and double-check the brochure
Mixed feelings got me feeling like I'm receiving
Chinese torture
The parakeets and robins, they're turning into
voltures
Fumes zoom in the scopes are scooping the sculpture
with detail
It's the retail got them turning into slimy green
snails
Matter of fact, got a couple on my coat tail
Empty promises and old spells, but so far
They're weighing me down like a fat porn star
Trapping me in a system I need daily like the solar
Surroundings are turning colder than surroundings of a
polar
Visions confused like the visions of Leery
My LOVE, WILL, and STRENGTH sometimes tested by Mary
(Chorus)
Have no fear
What you see and hear
May not be clear it’s
Paranoia, Paranoia
don’t be afraid
it will be ok
it will go away
Its
Paranoia, ParanoiaDid you hear that?
I think they’re comin
I think they’re outside
but I don’t see nothin
Hear nothin
it’s just the Pharcyde
right outside your
front door
What are you so scared and paranoid fork
I ain’t said you did something
but you musta did something
cuz you are always running-shook
like onetime is coming or something
Always looking over your shoulders
always thinking someone hating (pulseracing)
heartbeat sounds like
Buddy Miles on the drums
Breakin it downHave no fear what you see and hear
May not be clear
It’s paranoia, paranoiaDon’t be afraid it will be okKnew you
from the beginning
it was known
had a brother here, but now he’s gone
he’s not six deep
you can find him on 6th street
his mind now minced meat sleepin on concrete
I could tell when she went to sleep
she still weep about her big brah
overdid it one day decided to hit her
No booze, no drugs
No players, no thugs
No love, no hugs
when she caught me
found my stash in the coffee,
called me from the payphone
speakin real softly
that I had broken the seal of trust
on the way to her mama’s house on the bus
it was over for us
don’t make a fuss she said
as the tears shed
explained that she felt mislead
she couldn’t take the pain
if I was jailed or found dead
or if I went upside her head
I tried to convince her that it only happens to a few
How could I question after all she’s been through?
she said she felt bad but it’s nothing I could do,
I thought I knew you
thought I knew you
(Chorus)
(And I thought that I knew you, better than
that, better than that, better than that, better than
that 2X)
my mans and them
Me and my mans go way back before the muszak
I never thought he would lose it and do that
always used to be at my house
now I can’t wait to smack the taste out his mouth
they say that money is the root of all evil
but having no money is the root of all evil
chillin talkin walkin with my people
talking to walk
about how shit gone be
were gonna rock under any circumstances
when I ‘m on the microphone
you know we’re advancing
with or without cha
can’t fuck with cha
trying to forgive ya
cuz we’re trying to get richer
(Chorus)
(And I thought that I knew you, better than
that,
better than that, better than that, better than that,
2X)
It will go away
It’ s paranoia, paranoia
