Paranoid
M.D. Lyrics

The shots rang out
The sound of gunshots can be heard

I went to the closet to get the thang out
I went to the closet to retrieve my gun

Heavily armed my intention was to blow the next brain out
I was heavily armed and intended to kill the next person

I had it cocked before I got to the door
I had my gun ready to shoot before I got to the door

Who da why da and why the fuck they doin' this for
I don't know who they are or why they are attacking me

Them niggas spook me I'm either trippin' or they tryna shoot me
I am afraid and unsure if they are really trying to shoot me

I close my eyes and let the bullets fly loosely and unloaded
I start shooting my gun with my eyes closed and without proper aim

The front door exploded
The front door blew up due to the gunshots

The barrel started burning my hand and I couldn't hold it
The gun became too hot to hold due to excessive usage

Still I reloaded, and got another round first
I reloaded my gun for another round of shooting

It seems like these always pre-rehearsed
It feels like these events were pre-planned and practiced

The date in front of me had read 12:30 first
The clock in front of me showed that the event occurred at 12:30

Who woulda thought these gunshots were loud fireworks
I was surprised to realize that the gunshots I heard sounded like loud fireworks

The screams got louder, the crowd got bigger
The screams from the incident attracted a larger crowd

Somebody screamed,"Oh I think he killed that nigga"
Someone claimed that I had killed someone in the incident

I dropped the trigger, my heart beat, and my knees got excessively weak
I stopped firing my gun due to fear and my physical inability to continue shooting

Look I can feel this shit, yet I'm still hopen' I sleep
I am traumatized from the event and hopeful that I can cope with it

I seen his back full of holes and his blood was fresh
I saw the victim's back riddled with gunshot wounds and his blood was still red

I could smell death creeping through his inacine flesh
I could smell the scent of death emanating from the victim's lifeless body

I flipped him over, and feeled what I might soon discover
I turned the victim over to inspect him and what I saw shocked me

Tears fell, oh fuck this was my brother
I cried when I realized that the victim was my own brother

On Clearview, I took a look through the rear-view
I looked through the rearview mirror while driving on Clearview Street

It was some niggas that my homie fear knew
I recognized some individuals that my friend was afraid of

But I wasn't cool with 'em, as matter fact I didn't fool with 'em
I didn't get along with them, and in fact didn't associate with them

I speed it up, they either followin' Mac, or they just weadig
I increased my speed, and noticed that they were either following me or just coincidentally driving behind me

I took a left, and they follow
I turned left and they followed me on the same route

I told my brother get the hollows, these niggas probably got a problo
I asked my brother to get the bullets, knowing that there might be trouble ahead

I'm way across town, some unknown ground
I'm in an unfamiliar part of town, far from where I live

Paranoid, me and my dawg, we duckin' through the Southern Falls
Feeling paranoid, me and my friend were crouching and hiding while walking through Southern Falls

Spooked out
Feeling scared and anxious

Them niggas 6 deep in the Land Rover Jeep creepin'
The individuals were in a Land Rover Jeep and creeping behind us

They fuckin' up my weekend, I started cussin' like a Puerto Rican
They were ruining my weekend, causing me to swear and curse like a Puerto Rican

I'm headed back to the N.O. comin' from B.R.
I'm on my way back to New Orleans after coming from Baton Rouge

I just done did me a show
I just finished performing a show

Them niggas know I probably got the dough so
They knew I probably had a lot of money on me

They figure they can just fake me, and dump me off in yo
They thought they could trick me and then leave me in a dangerous place

Bitches you crazy
I'm shocked and appalled at their plan

I stepped on the gas, but they crept on they ass
I accelerated quickly, but they managed to follow me closely

This shit is happenin' fast
Things are moving quickly and chaotically

My brother blast at the cows through the sun-roof
My brother started shooting through the sunroof of the car

A innocent bird drop
An innocent bird was hit and fell to the ground

But that was just tah let the niggas know we had the glock
Shooting the gun was a warning to let them know that we were armed

But they didn't stop
The individuals continued to follow us despite the warning shots

I seen the Superdome, I'm almost home
I saw the Superdome and knew that I was almost home

I told my brother to give me the cellphone to call my niggas
I asked my brother for the phone to call my friends for backup

We bein' chased by these upamillas
We were being chased by unknown individuals

They probably tryna kill us
I suspected that they were trying to kill us

I can't shake 'em, I might just have tah break 'em
We couldn't lose them, so we had to confront them and fight back

They told me not tah sweat it, 'cause they was retracedid
My friends told me not to worry because they had our track backtracked

If you 'bout bein' harder than harder
If you're truly tough

Then we got them thangs so sweat it
Don't worry, we have weapons to defend ourselves

I felt relieved as I turned on Generaltila
I was happy to reach General Taylor Street

I saw my niggas pop out a store in a black impilla
I saw my friends come out of a store in a black Impala car

So I popped to, then I jumped out
I followed them, and then I jumped out of my car

I opened up the trunk and got the funk out
I opened the trunk of my car and took out the guns

And I told them niggas jump out
I ordered my friends to get out of their car

They opened up the doors slowly, raised they hands
They slowly opened their car doors and raised their hands in surrender

They say they follow me 'cause they was Mac's number one fans
They claimed they were following me because they were my biggest fans

And all they wanted was some autographs, I dropped the gat
They only wanted autographs, so I put the gun down

And started laugh, but why you muthafuckas went tah stop the pad
I started laughing, but I still didn't understand why they were following me

You got a nigga paranoid
Their actions made me feel paranoid

And I'm slippin', and I'm trippin', and I'm dippin'
I'm losing my grip on reality and feeling anxious

Fuck
Expressing frustration and exasperation

[Chorus--Silkk x4] They got me 'noid, they got me 'noid They got me 'noid, they got me 'noid But I ain't paranoid
Repeating the feeling of being paranoid but ultimately denying the state of paranoia
