Paranoid Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't even go out to eat no more, we gotta order in
These niggas plottin' on me, do you know what it feels like?
Do you know what it feels like when niggas watch your every move?
Can't even try on shoes, is what it feels like

[Chorus]
She say I'm paranoid (Paranoid, paranoid)
She say I'm paranoid (Paranoid, paranoid)

[Verse 1]
How am I supposed to ball out? Can't even go out to the mall now
Without these niggas followin' me, without the paparazzi
These bitches, they wanna call me and set me up
But I ain't stupid though, I call my hitter, and he let it blow, I ain't tryna do that, tryna rap
Make my own beats and write my own rhymes and I make this shit look easy
These niggas they mad, wanna take my shine, but they really just wanna be me
Smokin' this dope 'til I fall asleep, my own people movin' sleazy
I guess there's a price to the fame, niggas throwin' salt on my name

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't even go out to eat no more, we gotta order in
These niggas plottin' on me, do you know what it feels like?
Do you know what it feels like when niggas watch your every move?
Can't even try on shoes, is what it feels like
[Chorus]
She say I'm paranoid (Paranoid, paranoid)
She say I'm paranoid (Paranoid, paranoid)

[Verse 2]
I remember tryna send 'em beats, they didn't wanna fuck with me, almost gave this shit up
Did it on my own and I fill their hearts with jealousy
Don't message me tryna get no beats 'less you got some stacks
It's the sick side, where you show love, and they don't love you back
On this side, niggas plot on you and try to take your racks
Lookin' over my shoulder, gotta watch my back
And I'm only gettin' older, gotta get a sick Benz
Livin' in the 6 and only got about like six friends

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't even go out to eat no more, we gotta order in
These niggas plottin' on me, do you know what it feels like?
Do you know what it feels like when niggas watch your every move?
Can't even try on shoes, is what it feels like

[Chorus]
She say I'm paranoid (Paranoid, paranoid)
She say I'm paranoid (Paranoid, paranoid)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
