I bet there are people that haven't clicked because they actually think it's a rickroll.




Now that would be sweet if it actually was.

But it's not.



Plus, i've been looking for the clean version of Geto Boys 'Mind playing tricks on me' and can't find it anywhere. It's easily the best 'gangsta' rap song ever. The 'swear word' version isn't quite as good but still pretty ridiculous:



Ok this has gots to be a rickrool, right?

[Lurker.]

LL Cool J-Homicide
Beatnuts- Off the books (ft big pun)
Souls of Mischief- 93' til infinity
Nas- Represent
Jay-Z- D'evils
Jay-Z- Can i Live

Yeah my [censored] Fame up in Prospect, nah, they're my [censored], nah, love wouldn't disrespect.

I think the following, getoBoys - mind plaing tricks, is a perfect example of when rappers were forced to make clean versions of their songs and ended up making better lyrics, after the whole 2 live crew nonsense plus shows like yoMTVraps and BETs rap city giving them big airplay. (Spice1 is another dude that comes to mind) The first is the 'dirty' version and then the clean version (which is from memory so i'm only 98% sure it's correct):


At night I can't sleep, I toss and turn
Candle sticks in the dark, visions of bodies bein burned
Four walls just starin at a [censored]
I'm paranoid, sleepin with my finger on the trigger
My mother's always stressin I ain't livin right
But I ain't going out without a fight
See, everytime my eyes close
I start sweatin, and blood starts comin out my nose
It's somebody watchin the Ak'
But I don't know who it is, so I'm watchin my back
I can see him when I'm deep in the covers
When I awake I don't see the [censored]
He owns a black hat like I own
A black suit and a cane like my own
Some might say, "Take a chill, B"
But [censored] that [censored]! There's a [censored] trying to kill me
I'm poppin in the clip when the wind blows
Every twenty seconds got me peepin out my window
Investigatin the joint for traps
Checkin my telephone for taps
I'm starin at the woman on the corner
It's [censored] up when your mind is playin tricks on ya

Verse Two: Willie D

I make big money, I drive big cars
Everybody know me, it's like I'm a movie star
But late at night, somethin ain't right
I feel I'm being tailed by the same sucker's head lights
Is it that fool that I ran off the block?
Or is it that [censored] last week that I shot?
Or is it the one I beat for five thousand dollars
Thought he had 'caine but it was Gold Medal Flour
Reach under my seat, grabbed my popper for the suckers
Ain't no use to me lyin, I was scareder than a [censored]
Hooked a left into Popeye's and bailed out quick
If it's goin down let's get this [censored] over with
Here they come, just like I figured
I got my hand on the [censored] trigger
What I saw'll make your ass start gigglin
Three black, crippled and crazy senior citizens
I live by the sword
I take my boys everywhere I go, because I'm paranoid
I keep lookin over my shoulder and peepin around corners
My mind is playin tricks on me

Verse Three: Scarface

Day by day it's more impossible to cope
I feel like I'm the one that's doing dope
Can't keep a steady hand because I'm nervous
Every Sunday mornin I'm in service
Prayin for forgiveness
And tryin to find an exit out the business
I know the Lord is lookin at me
But yet and still it's hard for me to feel happy
I often drift while I drive
Havin fatal thoughts of suicide
BANG and get it over with
And then I'm worry-free, but that's [censored]
I got a little boy to look after
And if I died then my child would be a bastard
I had a woman down with me
But to me it seemed like she was down to get me
She helped me out in this [censored]
But to me she was just another bitch
Now she's back with her mother
Now I'm realizing that I love her
Now I'm feelin lonely
My mind is playin tricks on me

Verse Four: Bushwick Bill

This year Halloween fell on a weekend
Me and Geto Boys are trick-or-treatin
Robbin little kids for bags
Till an old man got behind our ass
So we speeded up the pace
Took a look back, and he was right before our face
He'd be in for a squabble no doubt
So I swung and hit the [censored] in his mouth
He was goin down, we figured
But this was no ordinary [censored]
He stood about six or seven feet
Now, that's the [censored] I'd be seein in my sleep
So we triple-teamed on him
Droppin them [censored] B's on him
The more I swung the more blood flew
Then he disappeared and my boys disappeared, too
Then I felt just like a fiend
It wasn't even close to Halloween
It was dark as [censored] on the streets
My hands were all bloody, from punchin on the concrete
God damn, homie
My mind is playin tricks on me
