Nightmares Are Real (feat. Pusha T)

Okay, uh, I can tell you how I first started in this rap shit
 Mama kicked a nigga 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, livin' family in the subdivision
 Ramen noodles, drawin' doodles wasn't in my fuckin' vision
 But who's fault is that? Tryna stay all intact
 Fightin' all my demons, they be schemin' but I'm crawlin' back
 And eventually flyin', lately been mentally cryin'
 Niggas resentin' me, I am not for the industry lyin'
 Life's a dream, but nothin' is a fairytale
 Do you love me? I can barely tell
 'Cause I'm up and down, been all around, nobody's callin' now
 No, no, no, no, no, no
 No, no, no, no, no, no
 Uh, 'cause I know what I been through
 But I still, uh, I'd do it all over again
 And my life is so sinful (YBN, why be them?)
 But through times, uh (King Push)
 The good guys always win
 I can tell you how I first started in this rap shit
 8th grade, backflippin' on the mattress
 9th grade, pack doin gymnastics
 10th grade, somersaultin' all them crack flips
 Asterisk, skipped school, recorded with The Neptunes
 We was makin' high school classics
 Before I took a kilo and I wrapped it, I rapped it
 Around the funeral with the casket (Eugh)
 Coke avalanche, like a landslide
 Only grew my hair this long because my man died
 Collect calls on them landlines, I pressed 5
 To tell about the new test drive and talk fly, ooh
 Life's a dream, but nothin' is a fairytale
 Do you love me? I can barely tell
 'Cause I'm up and down, been all around, nobody's callin' now
 No, no, no, no, no, no
 No, no, no, no, no, no
 Uh, 'cause I know what I been through
 But I still, uh, I'd do it all over again
 And my life is so sinful
 But through times, uh
 The good guys always win
