Psycho
50 Cent; Fifty Cent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can hear your heartbeat, you're scared
Yeah, yeah, I can hear your heartbeat, you're scared
I can hear your heartbeat, you're scared
Yeah, yeah, I can hear your heartbeat, you're scared

You see I'm a psycho (a psycho), a sicko (a sicko)
I'm crazy (I'm crazy, I'm crazy)
I said I got my knife pulled (knife pulled)
I'll kill you (I'll kill you) if you make me (you make me)
They wanna see me shot up (shot up)
Locked up (locked up), you can cage me (cage me)
I'll come back bigger (bigger)
Stronger (stronger) and angry (and angry)

Yeah, look, look, I come from a different crew
You fuck with me, I'll get to you
A clip or two, I'll cripple you just 'cause I ain't got shit to do
Pistol pop, a pussy drop, drama never ever stop
Eenie meenie mini moe, nine, trey pound or forty fo'
Pick a strap, The Tec, the Mac, the Hawk, I stab it in your back
I'll blow your brains, I know your name and where you rest
I'll make a mess
The hollow tips will hit your chest, you cough up blood 'til EMS
Come pick you up, you know you fucked when you get on the stretcher
'Cause I come into ICU to see you off to Heaven
The system I done been through it, there's nothing new there to me
They lock me up, they let me out, you seen this in the movies
The criminals be criminals while they up in corrections
They come home, get a nine, then commit crime to perfection
It's murder one, they found a gun, now they doing ballistics
But they can't find a fingerprint, the shit's going terrific
Get so close on your target that it's really hard to miss it

You see I'm a psycho (a psycho), a sicko (a sicko)
I'm crazy (I'm crazy, I'm crazy)
I said I got my knife pulled (knife pulled)
I'll kill you (I'll kill you) if you make me (you make me)
They wanna see me shot up (shot up)
Locked up (locked up), you can cage me (cage me)
I'll come back bigger (bigger)
Stronger (stronger) and angry (and angry)

Man, these are average raps, I'm keeping the savage batch hid
In the can of whoop ass with the Shady Aftermath lid
You pop off the top, it's like opening vats of acid
Beat the Octomom to death with a Cabbage Patch Kid
Attack a snatch, yeah, there's something to jack a batch in
Impregnated then shoot up the embryo sac with MAC-10s
Triplets, quadruplets, and a couple of back-to-back twins
Dead fetuses falling out all over, Jack is back again
The Ripper's at your service, girl, I can see that you're nervous
But I barely scratched the surface like my last batch of girlfriends
That I buried in my fucking backyard, still trying to dig their way out
I foam like an attack dog, how late you wanna stay out?
It's past your curfew when it's dark, I'm searching for you in the park
Shady murdered him another virgin, he just hit his mark
He met his quota for the month, they found Dakota all rolled up
Inside a bag, he probably dragged the body for about a block
Disappeared without a trace, no DNA, no, not a drop
'Cause me and Dre and 50, we will never get caught by the cops
CSI, they hate us, but they gotta give a lot of props
If drama pops, grab the butcher knife from off the counter tops

You see I'm a psycho (a psycho), a sicko (a sicko)
I'm crazy (I'm crazy, I'm crazy)
I said I got my knife pulled (knife pulled)
I'll kill you (I'll kill you) if you make me (you make me)
They wanna see me shot up (shot up)
Locked up (locked up), then cage me (cage me)
I'll come back bigger (bigger)
Stronger (stronger) and angry (and angry)

Yeah, I'm as ill as can be
My appeal is to serial killers what a pill is to me
Killing so villainously
Still as maniacal on the NyQuil and psycho as Michael Myers
You know what we're like on the motherfucking mic so try us
And you're gonna find out what the fuck we're like with pliers

It's operation time, they got him hooked up to wires
Squeezing, be bleeding, wheezing, breathing, he half dead
He must ain't know, but now we know how shady the math is
Even murderous tactics get better with practice
Lead showers, gun powder, feel the talons burn, burn
School of arts, Julliard, you better learn, learn

Chris Reeves in his grave, yeah, homie, turn, turn
I'm debating mutilating the lady
You've been waiting for Shady and Fif, ain't no duplicating it, baby
There's a baby in the dryer, there's a torso in the washer
I think it might even belong to Portia when I tossed her
Arms and legs in the garbage, 'cause the rest of her, I lost her
Her head is in the disposal with Jessica's, I squashed her
And put her through the wringer and hung her over the wash tub

When I'm through with Ricky, it'll be blood that he'll cough up
A hard rock, I'll soft up, get caught up and get washed up
In Detroit or Norfolk, witness this shit, end up nauseous
Look deep in my eye, see many, many men die
I swing gem stars faster than a Samurai

You see I'm a psycho (a psycho), a sicko (a sicko)
I'm crazy (I'm crazy, I'm crazy)
I said I got my knife pulled (knife pulled)
I'll kill you (I'll kill you) if you make me (you make me)
They wanna see me shot up (shot up)
Locked up (locked up), you can cage me (cage me)




I'll come back bigger (bigger)
Stronger (stronger) and angry (and angry)

The system I done been through it
I'm experienced with the criminal justice system


There's nothing new to me
I've seen it all before


They locked me up they let me out
I've been in jail and released before


You seen this in the movies
What I do is often portrayed in films


The criminals be criminals
People who commit crimes will always do so


Why they up in corrections
That is why they're in prison


They come home, get a 9
They return home and obtain a firearm


Nigga commit trying perfection
They commit crimes in order to perfect their craft


It's murder when they found the gun, now they doing ballistic
When law enforcement finds the weapon, they analyze it


But they can't find a fingerprint the shit's going terrific
They won't find my fingerprints on the gun


Get so close to your target that it's really hard to miss it
I'll get as close as possible to my target


Man, these are average raps, I'm keeping the savage batch hidden
I have more intense lyrics that I don't reveal often


The can of whoop ass with the Shady/Aftermath lid
My lyrics are more powerful with Dr. Dre and Eminem's backing


You pop off the top, it's like opening vats of acid
My lyrics are explosive, like opening a container of acid


Beat the Octomom to death with a Cabbage Patch Kid
One of my violent, disturbing fantasies


Attack a snatch, yeah, there's something to jack a batch in
I'll rob someone and sexually assault them


Impregnated then shoot up the embryo sack with Mac-10s'
I'll shoot a pregnant woman with a Mac-10 firearm


Triplets, quadruplets, and a couple of back-to-back twins
I'll shoot multiple unborn babies at once


Dead fetuses falling out all over, Jack is back again
I have a twisted fascination with death and violence


The Ripper's at your service, girl I can see that you're nervous
I am a serial killer and I can sense your fear


But I barely scratched the surface like my last batch of girlfriends
I am capable of unspeakable atrocities towards women


That I buried in my fucking backyard still trying to dig their way out
I have murdered women and buried them in my backyard


I foam like an attack dog, how late you wanna stay out?
I am always prepared for a fight and to attack


It's past your curfew when it's dark, I'm searching for you in the park
I am hunting for my next victim


Shady murdered him another virgin, he just hit his mark
I killed another young woman who was inexperienced


He met his quota for the month, they found Dakota all rolled up
I have a quota for how many people I kill per month


Inside a bag, he probably dragged the body for about a block
I dragged her body and left it in a bag


Disappeared without a trace, no DNA, no not a drop
I am skilled at covering my tracks


'Cause me and Dre and 50 we will never get caught by the cops
We are too smart to get caught by the police


CSI, they hate us, but they gotta give a lot of props
Even though they don't like us, they respect our methods


The drama pops, grab the butcher knife from off the counter tops
When drama arises, I will go for a knife from the kitchen


I'm as ill as can be
I am the epitome of madness


My appeal is to serial killers what a pill is to me
I appeal to people who are like me mentally


Killing so villainously
I kill people in the most monstrous ways


Still as maniacal on the NyQuil and psycho as Michael Myers
Even while on medication, I am still crazy like Michael Myers


You know what we're like on the motherfucking mic so try us
Don't mess with us lyrically


And you're gonna find out what the fuck we're like with pliers
You'll experience our brutality firsthand


It's operation time, they got him hooked up to wires
I am undertaking a violent mission


Squeezing, he bleeding wheezing, breathing he half dead
My victim is in agony


He must ain't know, but now he know how Shady the Math is
My victim didn't know who he was messing with


Even murderous tactics get better with practice
I am always learning and improving my methods


Lead showers, gun powder, feel the talons burn burn
Bullets are raining down and causing destruction


School of arts, Julliard, you better learn learn
I am a master of my art form


Chris Reeves in his grave, yeah, homie, turn turn
Even Superman couldn't escape my wrath


I'm debating mutilating the lady
I am considering cutting up a woman


You've been waiting for Shady and Fif, ain't no duplicating it, baby
Our music is unique and can't be replicated


There's a baby in the dryer, there's a torso in the washer
I am doing unspeakable things to people


I think it might even belong to Portia when I tossed her
I think I killed a woman named Portia and dismembered her body


Arms and legs in the garbage, cause the rest of her, I lost her
I threw away her limbs and lost the rest of her body


Her head is in the disposal with Jessica's, I squashed her
I put her head in the garbage disposal and killed Jessica as well


I put her on the ringer and hung her over the wash tub
I tortured her before killing her


When I'm through with Ricky it'll be blood that he'll cough up
When I'm done with Ricky, he'll be coughing up blood


The hard rock I'll soft up, get caught up and get washed up
I'll beat up people who think they're tough


In Detroit or Norfolk, witness this shit, end up nauseous
People who see what I do will be disgusted


Look deep in my eye, see many many men die
I have seen a lot of death and violence


I swing gem stars faster than a Samurai
I am efficient and deadly with my weapons
