Nightmares Are Real (feat. Pusha T)

Ok, ugh

I can tell you how I first started in this rap shit

Mama kicked a **** out the house, felt fantastic

Told my homies "If you got a couch, know I'm crashin"

Worried 'bout my future, couldn't care about the past tense

Lost my grandmother and I haven't been the same since

Start to get anxious, I'm tired of this lame shit

Tired of the struggle, living family in the subdivision

Ramen noodles, drawing doodles, wasn't in my fucking vision

But who's fault is that? Tryna stay all intact

Fightin' all my demons, they be schemin', but I'm crawling back

And eventually flying, lately been mentally crying

**** resenting me, I am not for the industry lying

Life's a dream, but nothing is a fairytale

Do you love me? I can barely tell

'Cause I'm up and down, been all around

Nobody's calling now

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

'Cause I know what I've been through

But I still, ugh, I'd do it all over again

And my life is so sinful, but through times, the good guys always win

I could tell you how I first started in this rap shit

Eighth grade, back-flipping on a mattress

Ninth grade, pack doing gymnastics

Tenth grade, somersaulting all them crack flips

Asterisks, skip school, recorded with The Neptunes

We was making high-school classics

Before I took a kilo and I rapped it, I wrapped it

Around the funeral with the casket

Coke avalanche like a landslide

Only grew my hair this long because my man died

Collect calls on them landlines, I press five

To tell her 'bout the new test drive and talk fly (Ooh)

Life's a dream, but nothing is a fairytale

Do you love me? I can barely tell

'Cause I'm up and down, been all around

Nobody's calling now

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

'Cause I know what I've been through

But I still, ugh, I'd do it all over again

And my life is so sinful, but through times, the good guys always win
