Blind


You say me is paranoid, 
 
I overthink, 
 
I is pulling my own leg.
 
Ain't nothin in this world happens for free.
 
If I is paranoid then at least I won't be spoofed.
 
You live life as though the world be a fine mistress. 
 
A lady of love
 
A lady of compassion
 
But I be seein' she for her true self.
 
She be a cruel mistress
 
A snake in the garden
 
Rotten as the apple.
 
Maybe I paranoid
 
But least blind, I ain't
