musiq soulchild - half crazy (chopped and screwed by og ron c)


gemini - crazy for you (chopped and screwed) this version doesn't have that final verse, i just realized this after watching the original on the video^

i suggest you listen to the chopped/screwed songs in this order. not sure who did two of them. these songs are from the first screwed mixtape i ever received, that got me really listening to and enjoying rap music. it took me so long though to be able to listen to the whole mix at a time. i got hung up on certain songs. these three, and especially the last two, and really especially the gemini track are those songs that are really special to me, you know those ones that are just so good it makes you sad, and it is particularly true for these since they are about unrequited love.

charlene lyrics

half crazy lyrics
Never thought that we would ever be more than friends
Now I'm all confused cause for you I have deeper feelings
We both thought it was cool to cross the line
And I was convinced it would be alright
Now things are strange, nothings the same
And really I just want my friend back

And my mind's gone half crazy cause I can't leave you alone (oh can't get you out of my system)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on (holding on)
Said my mind's gone half crazy cause I can't leave you alone (can't get you out of my system)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on (yeah)

I'd hate walk away from you as if this never existed
Cause when we kissed the moment after I looked at you different
Lately I gotta watch what I say
Cause you take things personally nowadays
You used to laugh now you get mad
Damn I just want my friend back (yeah yeah)

And my mind's gone half crazy cause I can't leave you alone (oh can't get you out of my system)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on (holding on yeah oh )
Said my mind's gone half crazy cause I can't leave you alone (can't get you out of my system yeah yeah)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on

oh oh oh oh oh yeah
What happened to the one I used to know oh yeah yeah
The one I used to laugh and joke with
The one I used to tell all my secrets
We used to chill and be down for whatever whenever together yeah

And my mind's gone half crazy (oh) cause I can't leave you alone (I'm going half crazy baby)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on (over you yeah over you)
Said my mind's gone half crazy (yeah oh) cause I can't leave you alone (and I just don't know)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on (said I just don't know what to do now)
listen
we used to chill yeah we used to hang yeah
we used to we used to do some many things together yeah

crazy for you lyrics
Have you ever met somebody that will love you like I do
I'm going crazy, crazy for you
and have you ever loved somebody that would give it all for you
I'm going crazy, crazy for you

I've always been by myself
lived life by myself
never cared for solitude
just cared for the wealth
steady stackin
never slackin
with no time to be wastin
while these other dudes chasin broads
I was chasin their paper
but then (but then) came you (came you)
and it was over baby
I was going crazy for you
and I ain't felt this way in a minute
and I ain't gonna lie to you ma
this shit I'm starting to dig it for real

everything about you is what I like about you
I go crazy and I lose my mind
trade my world and I'd give my life
cuz it feels so right

and every day you make it clear that you don't want to be replaced
just by them little things you do, just by them little things you say
five years done past and we done went through some drama
from court dates to miscarriages to you losing your mama
but now (but now) I see (I see)
that you're my one and only
baby oh I'm going crazy
I can't eat (I can't eat) I can't sleep (I can't sleep) no more, no more
it's like I toss and turn at night
memories ease my pain
I keep hearing you laughin, screamin, callin my name
then my eyes open wide
and I see you ain't there
then the joy from the music turn to a permanent tear of ink

my only sanity in these walls
is just the thought of you
paradise up in my mind
just for a second or two
but then it's gone
and I gotta go too
because I changed my ways ma
I'm coming home to you, for real
