Nightmare
The Faith Lyrics

When I was a young boy, my daddy had a red Cadillac on Vogues
I remember my father owning a bright red Cadillac with Vogues when I was a young boy

Sitting on those whitewalls on 'em, with the bass on swole
The car had whitewalls and a powerful sound system that rattled the bass

Get a little older and I got my own, sound in the back
As I got older, I got my own car with a similar sound system in the back

Sunroof top; Cartier '93, I know bout that
My car had a sunroof and was a Cartier edition from 1993

I worked the job, I grind it out; who's stopping me?
I worked hard at my job and kept grinding, no one could stop me

They hating, so they pull me over; same thing everyday
People hate on me so much that the cops pull me over for no reason, it happens every day

The world is getting colder; staying in a dorm with a college girl
The world is becoming harsher, I'm staying with a college girl in a dorm

Her man don't even know it; he speak his mind
The girl's boyfriend is unaware that she's staying with me, he speaks his mind freely

I promise that I might just run up on him; and I got him
I may confront him and defeat him

This how it is in Riverdale, this how it is in Zone 3
This is what life is like in Riverdale and Zone 3

How it be in ATL; Fayetteville, they know about me
People in Atlanta and Fayetteville know who I am

Never been a gangster, but the South can make you love them
I'm not a gangster, but the culture of the South can make you admire them

Circumstances looking weak, but my rocket rises above them
My situation may look hopeless, but I will rise above it

Chase big money, drive big cars
I aim to make a lot of money and drive luxurious cars

May be in the gutter, but I'm looking at the stars
I may not be doing well now, but I still have hope and ambitions

And I'm drinking in the vanity, boy it's all that we know
I'm immersing myself in materialistic things because it's all I know

I'll show you how to do this here, look how hard that we go
I will demonstrate how I work hard and achieve success

I'm talking city full of nightmares, pocket full of dreams
I'm living in a city that is like a bad dream but still clinging on to my dreams

Walking out of heaven; don't you wake me in between
I feel like I'm in heaven and don't want to be woken up from this dream

So, this my dream; don't take nothing from me
This is my dream and I won't let anyone take it away from me

Please don't remind me, please don't remind me
I don't want to be reminded of my past mistakes or failures

I fell asleep and they don't know where to find me
I have gone into hiding and no one knows where I am

Grill in my mouth, girl on my neck, young, coming up; keep quiet on the set
I have a grill on my teeth and a woman's necklace on my neck; I'm young and on the rise so stay quiet while I'm filming

Take one; take two, take three; heart full of rage, car full of babes on deck
I'm filming multiple takes with a car full of attractive women while feeling angry

One time, one time, for my city I was raised in
I'm doing this for my hometown that raised me

This is CMD where EMTs don't take vacations
This is CMD where EMTs work tirelessly and never take days off

I get up in the morning, better get on my grind
I wake up early every day and work hard

Get a castle with a couple tenants in it to rent it
I aim to buy a castle and rent out a couple of its rooms

Cause the blind thinking that it's Venice, Italy
People can be easily fooled into thinking they're in Venice, Italy

Hoping Italy here becomes the premise
I hope that people will see my castle and think it's in Italy

We follow our leader; I put my coin in the meter
We trust our leader and I contribute my money to our cause

Hoping that it never runs out; what's the depth on my breather
I hope my contribution never runs out; how much can I endure?

I hold my tongue and my breath for later; definitely been suffocated
I keep quiet now and will speak later; I've felt suffocated in the past

Pick a grenade from a field that has been decorated with detonators
I'm taking a risk by choosing a dangerous path

Die for now so I live forever; if I'm the ruler and life is inches I'm taking measures
I'm willing to die for my cause so that I'll be remembered forever; if life is short, I'm making the most of it

I'll push the weight up like benching plates at 10-10 to get them
I'll work hard at the gym and push the weights up like I'm benching 220 pounds to achieve my goals

Too busy American dreaming; you know that I breath for no reason
I'm too focused on the American Dream and sometimes forget to breathe

To money I pledge my allegiance I'm bleeding before that I leave, achieve it and go
I promise my loyalty to money and will do whatever it takes to obtain it and leave

Insecure in myself so don't take me as no joke
I'm insecure about myself, but that doesn't mean I'm not serious

You can keep your two cents, I'm not worth you going broke
You can keep your opinion to yourself; it's not worth you losing money over me

It's that real life that we living; sittin' top of them riches
I'm living in real life, sitting on top of my wealth

Moscato we sippin', got them models in my linen
We're drinking Moscato and partying with models

I said wake up, homie, we don't know where we going
I'm telling my friend to wake up and realize we don't know our ultimate destination

We living life like a schizo cause we don't know what we doing
We're living life like schizophrenics because we don't know what we're doing

I seen it happen around me; I was lost and they found me
I've seen people succeed around me and I was lost before being found

Thinking I was killing, all the dead bodies around me
I thought I was successful, but there were still many failures around me

It's a city full of nightmares; will we ever wake up
It feels like we're living in a city full of bad dreams, will we ever wake up?

Slaves until the count of days that you can never make up
We're slaves to our work until the end of our lives, we can never get back missed opportunities
