[2 Chainz, Scarface, John Legend - Ghetto Dreams lyrics]
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
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)

(Oh) lord, send me an angel right now
