Some people tell me that I need help Some people can f*ck off and go to hell God damn, why they criticize me Now shit is on the rise so my family despise me F*ck em! And feed em cause I don't need em I won't join em if I can beat em They don't understand my logic To my gat to my money and I'm hooked on chronic I never wanted to hurt a nigga Unless ya come flexing that trigga, I dig ya That grave on the east side of town Lay ya six feet underground From man, to the dust to the ashes All I remember tell me where the cash is Clic Cloc barrel at my dome Give all your loot or you ain't going home But I ain't going out wit the pain I'm having illusions I'm having illusions driving me mad inside I'm having illusions I'm having illusions fucking me up in my mind I'm having illusions I'm having illusions driving me mad inside I'm having illusions I'm having illusions fucking me up in my mind Motherfuckers be driving me up the walls Hoping that I fall but they can suck my balls Straight jacket, strap it In a padded room when some punk niggas can't hack it Distracted from our reality Now I'm let out on a minor technicality They all fucked up now Cause they let a nigga back on the street somehow I'm looking for someone like me Living in my own world to my own degree On the loose in the city looking at the ho wit the big titties Looking at me and I feel shitty A little tensed up getting hot Cause she looks like my girl who just smoked at the crack spot I'm trying to find ways to cope But I ain't fucking round wit the gauge or a rope I'm having illusions I'm having illusions driving me mad inside I'm having illusions I'm having illusions fucking me up in my mind I'm having illusions I'm having illusions driving me mad inside I'm having illusions I'm having illusions fucking me up in my mind I'm having illusions
