Geto Boys- "My Mind is Playing Tricks on Me" Lyrics Sampled





 "I stand alone in my 4 cornered room starring @ candles, listening to gangsta music," Juelz Santana and Prodigy use this verse in their songs without making it come off to sound like just a copy. Sampling lyrics is not a standard procedure such as sampling actual music. Juelz and Prodigy paid homage to Geto Boys when they revived this very first line of this very special song, "My Mind is Playing Tricks on Me". Their different approaches change the essence of  feeling and the sounds are to a new flow. The Geto Boys were on that raw 1991 fresh vibe that maintained a soulful, melodious sensation. Whereas, Juelz flips it for 2003 on the hook of "Dipset Anthem".  Prodigy had his hand on "Mac 10 Handle" in 2006. So then in 2009, the Game brought it back when he said, "I make big money, I drive big cars, everybody know me, it's like I'm a movie star," from the first line in the second verse.
There's no song like this in hip-hop history. It's break down is a precise story. Scarface probably wrote the whole sh!t, he's a ill storyteller. The song lyrics have been sampled time and time again.....
