Ghetto Dreams |
Yeah, preach, preach |
My ghetto dreams always turn to ghetto nightmares |
At night I can’t sleep, I toss and turn |
Candlesticks in the dark, I was whippin' the hard |
I was gettin' the broads, they like «Who the hell is that?» |
I was dealin' sacks, you lookin' at a nigga that drove to Hell and back |
Charismatic, I was raised by an addict |
With money in the attic, got guns while you at it |
At this present time, I’m out of my mind and that’s a habit |
Still got 'em waitin' in line, they gotta have it, yeah |
Last night was the first night I got sleep (Oh) |
Tossin' and turnin' for two or three weeks (Oh) |
My nightmares are triggered by bad memories (Oh) |
Lord, send me an angel right now while I’m havin' ghetto dreams |
Cold sweats listenin' to the old Sweat |
One, two, that’s a whole check (One, two) |
Nah, for real, nigga this a whole check (Check) |
Just horsin' around, Polo sweats (Yeah) |
Used to dream 'bout a bigger couch (Uh) |
Woke up in a bigger house, c’mon |
Commas in my bank account |
So much money I had to let the banker count |
Last night was the first night I got sleep (Oh) |
Tossin' and turnin' for two or three weeks (Oh) |
My nightmares are triggered by bad memories (Oh) |
Lord, send me an angel right now while I’m havin' ghetto dreams |
It’s like the world stand still |
Yesterday your little man got killed |
And all he ever wanted was a bank roll |
But he died too young 'cause the game’s cold |
Most niggas ain’t know or they just think slow |
Once you get in, you gots to leave, but you can’t though |
'Cause freedom make a motherfucker evil |
To the point, down your ass when he see you |
Let’s take that needle, fill it with poison |
Inject the ghetto with the drug, paranoia |
Got you lookin' at your homeboy sideways |
Ain’t no honor among thieves, is it nowadays? |
They tell me crime pays, but I don’t think so |
'Cause every criminal I know is in the clink, yo |
A nigga in the game right now |
Must be workin' for them people 'cause that shit played out |
I lay awake in my four corner room, tinted candles |
Yeah |
My ghetto dreams always turn to ghetto nightmares |
