While hip-hop is somewhat infamous for glorifying violence and criminal activity, few tracks have captured the anxiety and mental anguish of the gangster lifestyle as the Geto Boys' 1991 classic "Mind Playing Tricks on Me." A paranoia-fueled number about the trials and tribulations of living life outside the law, the song was inspired by Brad "Scarface" Jordan's own struggles with mental illness after surviving a suicide attempt and spending some time in a psychiatric hospital. "Mind Playing Tricks on Me" was written by Scarface, William "Willie D" Dennis, and Doug King, and uses a sample of Isaac Hayes' 1974 single "Hung Up on My Baby" from the film Tough Guys. Shortly after being released as a commercial single on July 1, 1991, the song reached the top of the rap charts in the US and became their biggest crossover hit after peaking at Number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100. We Can't Be Stopped, its parent album, hit Number 5 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
