Paranoia (Remastered)

I been hearin’ noises, shit don’t sit right, Every time I step outside, feel like I’m under bright lights. Ain’t no cameras on the street, but I know they got the feed, Got my face up in a folder, labeled "Watch Who He Meet." I keep it movin’, keep my back to the wall, Keep my exits mapped out, keep my hands on the draw. I been scannin’ every mirror, been avoidin’ every call, I ain't sleepin’ too deep, I ain't slippin’ at all. Used to think I was trippin’, used to think it’s in my head, ‘Til my boy got lined up, now he locked or he dead. I don’t wait at red lights, I don’t park where I stay, I don’t let ‘em get close, I don’t entertain plays. Yeah, I keep the safe routes, double back when I ride, If I see the same whip twice, I take a turn and decide. I don't speak up in the club, I don't linger too long, I don't fuck with random faces, I don’t pick up unknowns. Shit feel different when you know they watchin’ close, Could be feds, could be ops, could be ones you love the most. Ain’t no loyalty in play when there’s money to be made, I done seen ‘em flip fast, drop a pin, set the play. I got homies with cases, got a few in the dirt, Got a couple still movin’, but they duckin’ the work. Ain’t no room for mistakes, you get one, maybe two, But by three, they got your patterns, and they know what you do. Man, I swear I seen my name on a wire last week, Switched phones, switched routes, changed the locks where I sleep. Ain’t no pictures on the ‘Gram, ain’t no flexin’ on the feed, ‘Cause the moment they can place you, that’s the moment you bleed. My girl said I’m crazy, said I’m movin’ too tense, Said I barely even speak, always stuck in defense. Told her, "Baby, you don’t get it, you don’t know what I seen, I been livin’ through some shit that ain't part of no dream." I been hearin’ people talkin’ like they know my whole life, Like they sat up in the room, like they walked in my Nikes. Like they readin’ off my texts, like they tunin’ in my calls, Like they plottin’ where I move, like they monitor it all. I ain’t trustin’ no one, everybody got a price, Ain’t no friends, ain’t no cousins, ain’t no brothers for life. Had a homie switch quick, had a shorty set a trap, Had some family give my name, but I ain’t speakin’ on that. Ain’t no tellin’ who be workin’, ain't no tellin’ who be fake, Ain’t no tellin’ who just playin’ like they real to see you break. I been movin’ like a shadow, keep my head up when I step, Ain’t no welcome mats here, every guest is a threat. Yeah, I peeped that little handshake, I don’t trust it at all, If you lookin’ too long, I already made the call.
