Geto Boys - Mind Playing Tricks On Me (Official Video) [Explicit]

I was just listening to the Andrew Huberman interview with Rick Rubin where he was talking about being Geto Boy's producer... their haunting lyrical style and sound were a big deviation from established hip-hop at the time, a lot of people believe this is where the genre of horrorcore was born. This track is haunting to say the least, a dark look into the true nightmare of drug addiction.

I was 10 years old when this song came out. I had just started playing the saxophone. One day this older kid who also played the sax told me to play certain notes.

Перевёл на русский данный шедевр. На канале и клип имеется. Залетаем ... Я сижу один, в четырёх стенах Смотрю на огонь свечи О, запись идёт. Дай я кое что выдам, чтобы вышло ровно. ………………………. Ночью не могу уснуть. Ворочаюсь до утра. Подсвечник во мраке. Вижу, как горят тела. Словно давят на нигера стены, потолок. Паранойя, сплю, положив палец на курок. Мать твердит, что выбрал путь полный боли Но я не уйду, сдавшись, без боя. Каждый раз как глаза закрываю Из носа течёт кровь, в холодный пот меня бросает. За мной кто то наблюдает. Сущий ад. Не знаю кто это , за спину бросаю взгляд Во сне вижу его. Лишаюсь рассудка. Но проснувшись, не могу найти ублюдка Одет в черный костюм, как у меня. Черная шляпа - в такой хожу и я. Расслабься, бро - кто-то может возразить. Но нахер это! Здесь он чтоб меня валить. Подует ветер. Всё будет решено. Каждую минуту выглядываю в окно. Осматриваюсь - нет каких ловушек? Проверяю телефон свой на прослушку. Женщина на углу нагоняет жути. Полный крах. разум играет со мной злые шутки! ………………. Делаю бабки, вожу крутую тачку Все знают меня, словно стал звездой прокаченной. Настала ночь. Никто не может мне помочь Огонь фар. За мной следит всё та же сволочь. Это тот придурок, которого с района выжил. Или тот нигер, кто от моего выстрела не выжил. Может, тот, кого избил из-за 5 штук долларов Думал, что толкнул мне стаф, но мука была лишь продана. Сунул руку под сиденье, вынул ствол Смысла нет врать, я напуган. Выбросился кортизол. Свернул налево в забегаловку, и вышел сразу Здесь и сейчас покончим с этим, не потерплю отказа. Идут. За ними есть должок. Положил палец на грёбаный курок. То, что я увидел, насмешило бы вас: Три полуслепых, скрюченных сумасшедших старика. Всё время наготове. Беру своих парней - мы вместе ходим. Потому что параноик. Продолжаю смотреть через плечо и заглядывать за углы бесшумно разум играет со мной злые шутки. …………………. День ото дня сложнее дёрнуть стоп-кран. Я будто сам стал тот самый наркоман. Руки трясутся и меня не слушаются. Каждое воскресенье на церковной службе я. Обращаюсь к богу. Пытаясь завязать, начав жить по другому. Знаю, смотрит Господь на меня. Но по прежнему тяжело счастливым ощущать себя. Часто заносит, когда сажусь в машину. Может мне стоит в иной мир отринуть? Бам - и покончить с этим всем Избавлюсь от беспокойства. Нахрен всех! У меня ребёнок есть, о нём забочусь. Если погибну, может вырасти ублюдком конченым. Была с женщиной связь прочная Но мне казалось, что хочет она меня прикончить. Помогла выйти из жизненного ступора Но для меня она была лишь очередная сука. Сейчас она у своей мамаши тусит Сейчас осознал, что есть к ней чувства. От одиночества теряю я рассудок. разум играет со мной злые шутки. ……………………… Настал Хеллоуин - все переодеты. Я и гето бойз собираем конфеты. Отобрали у паренька пакет Пока за нами не пошёл какой то дед Шаг прибавили Обернулись - за своими спинами его застали мы Без сомнения - он хотел конфликта Так, подгадал момент - сейчас будешь ты избитый Мы решили - он осядет мигом Но это был не обычный нигер Ростом под два метра он примерно Вижу его в своих снах сейчас. И мне скверно Так, мы накинулись втроём на одного Обрушили сильнейшие удары на него Сильнее замахиваюсь - сильнее брызжет кровь, похоже Потом он исчез и парни исчезли тоже Я почувствовал себя, как наркот Хэллоуин и не переступал через наш порог На улице было адски темно Мои руки были все в крови от ударов о бетон Кент, будь в рассудке. Чутким разум играет со мной злые шутки.
