Paranoia - Radio Edit

It's creeping up on me, the paranoia
When you get that hunch that they're plotting to destroy you
Scheming, misleading, deceive to exploit you
First they do you dirty, then they avoid you
Head on a swivel, in a state of paranoia
That itching, gut feeling of paranoia
It's creeping up on me, the paranoia
It's creeping up on me
It's creeping up on me

My record's clean
So you know what that means
I've got room to cease a greedy motherf-er's means to breathe
They're talking numbers, well I'm not the one, two, or the three
As courtesy, I encourage you take heed how you engage with me
Because I don't discriminate pay, color, or creed
You decide if I'll be a nightmare or dream, word to Meek
Word is bond and you aren't breaking it for free
Consequences for transgressions, disloyalty costs a f-ing fee

It's creeping up on me, the paranoia
When you get that hunch that they're plotting to destroy you
Scheming, misleading, deceive to exploit you
First they do you dirty, then they avoid you
Head on a swivel, in a state of paranoia
That itching, gut feeling of paranoia
It's creeping up on me, the paranoia
It's creeping up me
It's creeping up me

Smoking trees to ease anxiety
Sleep with one eye open, hard to see the snakes slither
Keep your eye open
Scoping out the scene, the s-'s obscene
Pigs in a latrine
But I move in and out, move in between
Cope with dopamine, I mean the paranoia
Fifteen hundred goes to the lawyer
Loyalty isn't in season
Traitors committing treason
These haters hate for no reason
Cold, I'm North Dakota and Minnesota
Cocaine and baking soda, what's cracking b-h

It's creeping up on me, the paranoia
When you get that hunch that they're plotting to destroy you
Scheming, misleading, deceive to exploit you
First they do you dirty, then they avoid you
Head on a swivel, in a state of paranoia
That itching, gut feeling of paranoia
It's creeping up on me, the paranoia
It's creeping up on me
It's creeping up on me

I'm a man of God, but these matters the lord leaves to me
Come correct and I won't have to f-ing practice what I preach
I tend to go from beaver cleaver to Tommy Egen in less than a millisecond
Something like point zero zero zero three
Paranoia's got me keeping my eyes open even when I sleep
In a time of success, silence is a sign of an enemy
Prepared for pretenders with envy and contention of my potential
That may some day try to bring the death of me

It's creeping up on me, the paranoia
When you get that hunch that they're plotting to destroy you
Scheming, misleading, deceive to exploit you
First they do you dirty, then they avoid you
Head on a swivel, in a state of paranoia
That itching, gut feeling of paranoia
It's creeping up on me, the paranoia
It's creeping up on me
It's creeping up on me
