Federal Nightmares
Lil Durk Lyrics

Feel like I don't be havin' nobody to vent to
I feel like I have no one to express my feelings and emotions to.

Delete my iCloud if I think they really on me though
I will delete all the information on my iCloud if I suspect that people are monitoring me.

When trial come, it ain't your phone, it be your homie though
During a trial, it is not your phone that will be questioned, but rather your friend who could have potentially betrayed you.

He on the stand with his head down like he don't know me though
My friend will act like he doesn't know me, with his head down, while on the stand during the trial.

It ain't no point in gettin' no lawyer if your homie told
Having a lawyer will be futile if your friend has already revealed everything to the authorities.

He was with you on them late nights and them fast cars and them ski masks
My friend and I partook in criminal activity together, such as late-night heists, high-speed chases, and robbery with ski masks on.

If you mad, then I'm mad, then he mad, then he blam
If one of us is angry, then we all get angry and our reaction is to shoot.

Incredible witness, got every code to my keypad
A potential witness has access to all my passwords and can reveal every detail about my criminal activity.

Couldn't hold it down, a nigga jumped right off the deep end
One of the members involved in our criminal activity couldn't keep quiet and ended up revealing everything to the authorities.

They love you, then when you get booked, then it's fuck you
People will show love and support when you are successful, but if you get arrested, they won't help you anymore.

Mama need half on rent, they treat her like she nothin'
People treat my mother poorly, even though she needs help with half the rent.

That gang shit be cool, in reality it ain't nothin'
Being part of a gang may seem cool, but it's not worth the trouble and consequences that come with it.

They know she hold you down, but your dog a still fuck her
People know my girlfriend is loyal to me, but my friend still tries to pursue her.

And I ain't understand life, so it ain't hurt me at first
I didn't understand the reality of life, so it didn't affect me at first.

Even though I'm doin' good, I'm still thirsty for Percs
Although I'm doing well, I'm still craving Percocet.

I popped a pill one day and thought about a suicide
I took a pill once and contemplated ending my life.

I was feelin' like nobody really loved me
I felt like no one truly cared for me.

Like the bitch I loved really tried to dub me
The woman I loved tried to deceive me.

As a kid, a grown lady tried to rub me
When I was young, an older woman attempted to touch me inappropriately.

I see my niece and tell her her daddy was a rider
When I see my niece, I tell her that her father was a brave and loyal person.

Provider, and he advised us to rise up
He was a provider and always encouraged us to overcome our circumstances.

I can't wife a bitch who ever hit my guys up
I cannot have a serious relationship with someone who has hurt my friends.

I pay two hundred cash for gang, it'll tie my thighs up
I pay two hundred dollars to join a gang and it symbolizes my loyalty to them.

Now I'm havin' federal nightmares
I am experiencing nightmares about being arrested by the federal authorities.

Havin' federal nightmares
I am having dreams about being arrested by the federal authorities.

I'm havin' federal nightmares
I am having a difficult time coping with the fear of being arrested by the federal authorities.
