Posted on the block, my thoughts consuming

Expect the unexpected because the nightfall is looming

Can't trust my vision, cause the image ain't honest

Could it be a stray or death creeping up from behind us

Got beef with a hood that ain't rocking with us

Caught a few in my hood and seen the footage on Twitter

Got clipped a block away over on Atlantic

By a couple ghosts that's living over on Stanton

To quiet out here, causing me to panic

Hair steady standing up, got me sensing the static

Feeling in my gut, I'm heading back to my place

And I'm hooded up cause I'm saving my face

And we headed back watching street lights for evеry shadow

Every car, every singlе-person here that I know

10 feet away from reaching the block where I stay

And 10 long hours before we see another day

I'm paranoid

Shit I seen keeping me eery

Jy eery feeling like something is near me

Paranoid

Pray to God hoping he hear me

Protect from succumbing to all the shit that I'm fearing

Flashing lights... red and blue, not a good sign

Intermingled by ambulances and a few cries

Judging from the scene from me looking up in her eyes

Weeping mother pleading over her lonelier child

Lights blinding... sirens is deafening

God, I'm having a hard time understanding the message here

No man is perfect til' he's ready to meet you

But God, this child just turned twelve over the weekend

Tears turn to anger, now his mother is preaching

Far too young from having an enemy seek him

Older brother was the target when the OP showed up

Survivor's remorse getting his shoulder sewed up

Vengeance on his face, seen his brother get killed

But the follow up won't ease any of the guilt

Life's a bitch and death won't discriminate

Suffocating feeling that we all try to ventilate

I'm paranoid

Shit I seen keeping me eery

Jy eery feeling like something is near me

Paranoid

Pray to God hoping he hear me

Protect from succumbing to all the shit that I'm fearing

What a fucked up, dark and fake world we live in

I'm not convinced everything we do will be forgiven

Future's dim when Bitch Niggas who Kill Kids

Lowest sin to see Bitch Niggas who Kill Kids

Whoever said "the good die young" had to be full of shit

The good go prematurely, we mourning the innocent

Niggas gotta pay when blood spilled in the street

The cycle goes on, wash rinse and repeat

I'm paranoid, surrounded by niggas who steady frontin'

No respect, no code, no care in front of youngin's

Paranoid, niggas with no honor be frontin'

So you can't be predict whatever horror be coming

It's a war going on outside no man is safe from

Regardless if you be an innocent for a brave one

So when that day come, just be safe young

You don't belong outside so just behave young

I'm paranoid

Shit I seen keeping me eery

Jy eery feeling like something is near me

Paranoid

Pray to God hoping he hear me

Protect from succumbing to all the shit that I'm fearing
