Song lyrics

[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 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 goons while you at it, at this present time,
I'm out of my mind and that's a habit,
Still got them waitin' in line, they gotta have.

[Chorus: 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, nigga, this a whole check,
Just bossin' around, Polo sweats,
Used to dream ‘bout 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.

[Chorus: 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 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 cold.
Most niggas ain't know or they just think slow,
Once you get in, you gotta leave but you can't, though.
Does freedom make a mothafucka 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 there nowadays?
They tell me crime pays, but I don't think so,
Because 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 with the candles.
