My mind is playing tricks on me

It started back in high school

Nigga thought he was so cool

Really never had a girl to call my prized jewel

But I didn't want to get turned down looking like a fool

So I focused on my church hymns

Praying to god that the girl had dark skin

but hell she only needed a pretty face and four limbs

and didn't care that a nigga had no foreskin

but that was way back then

So he gave me a cute light skin in a purple sweater

Now all I had to do was find a way to get her

but that was easy because my dad always gave me a little cheddar

A few months past we become the best of friends

Still thanking god for what he had sent

Now with prom being just a week away

You know I Had to build up some courage and figure out what I was going say

So I got my words straight

Wake up the next morning and thinking it was going to be a good day

but all good things must end

Best Friend got her before I did

And I never thought it would hurt so bad

I was already plotting on beating his ass

But I calmed down and now you see

How my mind played tricks on me
