Ghetto Dreams

[Intro: 2 Chainz & John Legend]

Yeah, preach, preach

My ghetto dreams always turn to ghetto nightmares

[Verse 1: 2 Chainz]

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

[Chorus: John Legend]

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

[Verse 2: 2 Chainz]

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

[Chorus: John Legend]

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

[Verse 3: Scarface]

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

[Outro: John Legend]

I lay awake in my four corner room, tinted candles

Yeah

My ghetto dreams always turn to ghetto nightmares
