[Intro: 2 Chainz & John Legend]
~#**************#~
Yeah, preach, preach
~#**************#~
My ghetto dreams always turn to ghetto nightmares
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: 2 Chainz]
~#**************#~
At night I cant 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, Im out of my mind and thats 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 Im havin ghetto dreams
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: 2 Chainz]
~#**************#~
Cold sweats listenin to the old Sweat
~#**************#~
One, two, thats 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, cmon
~#**************#~
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 Im havin ghetto dreams
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Scarface]
~#**************#~
Its 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 games cold
~#**************#~
Most niggas aint know or they just think slow
~#**************#~
Once you get in, you gots to leave, but you cant though
~#**************#~
‘Cause freedom make a motherfucker evil
~#**************#~
To the point, down your ass when he see you
~#**************#~
Lets take that needle, fill it with poison
~#**************#~
Inject the ghetto with the drug, paranoia
~#**************#~
Got you lookin at your homeboy sideways
~#**************#~
Aint no honor among thieves, is it nowadays?
~#**************#~
They tell me crime pays, but I dont 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
