Never know when someone comes and tries to take my life I've been sleepin' with the .45 like every night In the whip, I pray to God I don't see flashin' lights Goddamn, they right behind me And I wake up everyday I wake up every day with this anxiety And they know where I stay Got "Malone" on my plates And they followin' me Two hundred bands under the floor of the kitchen A little more up in the walls and the ceilin' Even family and friends started switchin' Ever since I got that check, seen 'em itchin' Eyes open, I see you, I'm watchin' you More people wanna be you, don't trust no one Tell me why I can get no relief (I can't get no sleep) Wonderin' when they'll come for me A paranoid man makes paranoid plans I do what I can, but it's out of my hands Strugglin' just to find my peace Sometimes feel like I got no friends Can't trust a soul, like I'm Snowden Right by the bed, keep it loaded Lord, have mercy if they broke in I don't ever sleep, yeah, I'm wide awake If you try to pull up to my place Beam is gonna hit you a mile away I promise, one of us gonna die today Helicopters in the sky No, he can't escape the eyes Politicians and the lies Tell me, what's the point in pickin' sides? Tell me why I can get no relief (I can't get no sleep) Wonderin' when they'll come for me A paranoid man makes paranoid plans I do what I can, but it's out of my hands Strugglin' just to find my peace Ayy, mind is runnin' all day Cost me more than money and I'm payin' the price, yeah I ain't goin' nowhere Killin' myself so I can make me a life, yeah Minute after minute, never had a limit Woke up every mornin', knew that I just had to get it Windows always tinted, you ain't lookin' in it Either way, I know they'll come for me again Tell me why I can get no relief (I can't get no sleep) Wonderin' when they'll come for me A paranoid man makes paranoid plans I do what I can, but it's out of my hands Strugglin' just to find my peace
