Narcissist boss, also a control freak

I work at a gym making nearly minimum wage. I have worked here for 5 years, but when I got this new boss that thinks incredibly high of himself, it killed my entire drive and motivation because of his condescending attitude. He never compliments or says anything good, but wants to point out the most irrelevant imperfections. He will purposely leave little things throughout the workplace in certain spots and come back to it the next day to see if I cleaned it. His main objective after clocking in is too overlook my work. I don’t know if he’s afraid I’m trying to take his position or if he is an absolute control freak. I can’t even inform him on anything because anything I try pointing something out he already knew about it and has a solution to the problem. I also feel like I can’t ask for a raise…

I also feel like I can’t ask for a raise because the constant complaints he has about my work. Not sure exactly how to go about this situation.
