ha ha

you're wasting your talent

randy

it's like i'm paranoid lookin' over my back

it's like a whirlwind inside of my head

it's like i can't stop what i'm hearing within

it's like the face inside is right

why does it feel like night today?

something inside's not right today. why am i so uptight today?

paranoia's all i got left

i don't know what stressed me first

or how the pressure was fed

but i know just what it feels like

to have a voice in the back of my head

like a face that i hold inside

a face that awakes when i close my eyes

a face watches every time i lie

a face that laughs every time i fall

and watches everything

so i know that when it's time to sink or swim

that the face inside is hearing me

right beneath my skin

it's like i'm paranoid lookin' over my back

it's like a whirlwind inside of my head

it's like i can't stop what i'm hearing within

it's like the face inside is right

you know i - thug em

fuck em

love em

leave em

cause i don't fuckin need em

take em out the hood

keep em lookin good

but i don't fuckin feed em

first time they fuss i'm breezin

talkin bout

what's the reasons?"
