[Intro: John Legend] 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' it hard I was gettin' the broads that like "who the hell is that" I Was dealing sacks You Looking at a n***a That Drove To Hell And Back Charismatic I was raised by an addict with money in the attic Got goons while you at it at this present time I'm out of my mind and that's a habit Still Got Them Waiting In Line They Gotta Have [Hook: John Legend] Last Night Was The First Night I Got Sleep Tossing And Turning For Two Or Three Weeks My Nightmares Are Triggered By Bad Memories Lord, Send Me An Angel Right Now While I'm Having Ghetto Dreams [Verse 2: 2 Chainz] Cold sweats listenin' to the old sweat One, two that's a ho check Now for real, n***a this a whole check Just bossin' around, polo sweats Used to dream about a bigger couch Woke up in a bigger house, c'mon Commas in my bank account So much money I had to let the banker count [Hook] [Verse 3: Scarface] It's like the world stand still Yesterday your little man got k**ed And all he ever wanted was a bank roll But he died too young kuz the game cold Most n***as ain't know or they just think slow Once you get in you gotta leave but you can't though Does freedom make a motherf**er evil To the point down your a** 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 there nowadays?
