PARANOID Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cold eyes
All my demons dance through the motherfuckin' nighttime
Said I wouldn't sniff it, took a whole line
Poison in my brain, feel it creeping through on both sides, oh my
I'm three pills down and wide the fuck awake
In three more hours been up for seven days
I can see them movin' in the trees
Take a deep breath in, hyperventilate
Ducking paparazzi, doin' flips, uh (Let's go)
Brand new Maserati with the tint
Got a twenty-inch blade, God forgive me if I sin, uh (Brr)
Did it once, I might do it again, yuh, yuh
Devil looking at me sideways, yuh
Seven eyes staring through the driveway, whoa
Seven Cal. bullets hitting high range
Open up your eyes, let them dilate, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
And now I'm lyin' here awake
Sippin' Hennessy to wash away the pain 'cause I'm paranoid (I'm paranoid)
I'm paranoid, yeah (I'm paranoid)
Oh, yeah, yeah (Oh yeah)
Take the gun right out the safe
Put it up against my head and blow my brains 'cause I'm paranoid
(Oh, yeah)
I'm paranoid, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Baby, one more line to go
She just hit the ground and now she's lying on the floor, woah
The blood is dripping down my throat, eh
I can hear them knocking, I got demons at my door just (Tchh)
Just promise me you won't let them inside
Yeah, I don't deal with situations lightly
And I've never been the type to run and hide
So I'ma let these bullets fly if they try me
I've been

[Chorus]
Lyin' here awake
Sippin' Hennessey to wash away the pain 'cause I'm paranoid
I'm paranoid, yuh, yuh, yuh
I'll take the gun right out the safe
Put it up against my head and blow my brains 'cause I'm paranoid

I'm paranoid, yuh, yuh, yuh, yuh, yuh
And now I'm lyin' here awake
Sippin' Hennessey to drown out all the pain 'cause I'm paranoid
I'm paranoid, yuh, oh, yeah, yeah
I'll take the gun right out the safe
Put it up against my head and blow my brains 'cause I'm paranoid
Bitch, I'm fucking paranoid, I'm paranoid, yeah

[Guitar Solo]
Yeah, I'm paranoid
Paranoid, ooh
[Outro]
Lyin' here awake
Sippin' Hennessey to wash away the pain
I'm paranoid, I'm paranoid, oh

I'll take the gun right out the safe
Put it up against my head and blow my brains 'cause I'm paranoid
