Paranoid! Lyrics

I still rise

Thought this was the end

But it feel like

Shit has just began

And I realized

People out for me

Can't enjoy where I be

Paranoid, I can't sleep

It don't feel right

Still on top like I told ya

Yea yea yea

Looking over my shoulder

Yea yea yea

I ain't choose to be the chosen

Some of ya'll just do the most

Drinks on me like a coaster

I would like to make a toast

Glass get a raise like promotion

Celebrate for the moment

Seen better days

But we hoping

For hella pay to get the folks rich

Moves I make like compulsion

I just gotta keep the motion

Squad deep like a low pitch

You alone in yo emotions

I'm goin in like its curfew

RIP to my opponents

So much drive in my circle

You gon think we doing donuts

Mass hysteria will hurt you

Another way they can control us

I remember there was bird flu

Now we dealin wit corona

Paranoid but I don't let it sink in

I stop caring bout

What other people thinking

It's entirely stupid

And trust all yo fear is anxiety rooted

But not to be ruthless

I try to be prudent and tie up the loose ends

To thrive in my future so I do not lose it

If somehow I do

Then as long as I'm living my truth

Shit

I still rise

Thought this was the end

But it feel like

Shit has just began

And I realized

People out for me

Can't enjoy where I be

Paranoid I can't sleep

It don't feel right

We need to try and stay closer

Yea yea yea

It ain't over till it's over

Yea yea yea

Don't ever let em think they own us

The US isn't even for us

Land of the free but it's stolen

And we built it on our own

Left so many of us broken

You expecting us to cope

So much shit that we know of

But so much shit that's unknown

Don't forget that they owe us

40 acres with my home

Propaganda they show us

Everything is for show

The television try and tell a vision

Push a message in hopes you won't pay attention

To systemic ways that they make us victims

Seen better days from the way we livin

No pig is peaceful

Fuck your intentions

The System will treat you

Like y'all pawns to a bigger evil

If we all fought

Then we could defeat you

I know these people

Paranoid that they get Relinquished

Start caring more when my people thinking

To start revolutions

Cuz now they have fear

That their powers uprooted

Ya'll gotta be ruthless

So ya'll can be prudent

To tie up the loose ends

And thrive in the future

So ya'll do not lose it if somehow ya'll do then

As long as ya'll living ya'll truth

Shit

I still rise

Thought this was the end

But it feel like

Shit has just began

And I realized

People out for me

Can't enjoy where I be

Paranoid I can't sleep

It don't feel right
