[Produced by Plato III & Boukis]
[Intro: Plato III]
Yeah, I'ma take ya'll back
I remember
How could I not?
[Chorus: Plato III]
Young and bleak
Chasing money in my sleep (in my sleep)
I'm from the street
Ain't nothing sweet but the Swishas n***a
Young and bleak
Chasing money in my sleep (in my sleep)
I'm from the street
Ain't nothing sweet but the Swishas n***a
[Chorus Screwed]
Young and bleak
Money, money in my sleep
I'm from the street
Ain't nothing sweet, ain't nothing sweet
Young and bleak
Money, money in my sleep
I'm from the street
Ain't nothing sweet, ain't nothing sweet
[Bridge]
Young and frostbit
Start the faucet
Boiling water on the stove to wash off with
Now they wanna know how I got sauce I was starvin'
Only the strong survive, that's word to Darwin
[Verse 1: Plato III]
Ain't gotta flex, they see the muscle (no flex)
Nothing but clothes in the duffle (oh yes)
Finessed my way out of the struggle
That American Hustle, no David O. Russell
These n***as get hit and they fumble
I take the hits and never stumble
I put a mirror on top of my ceiling cuz I'm the only n***a I look up to
I took them risks, I took them chances
Tryna to go from the mud to the mansions
I lost some homies who ain't understand it
Only n***a that can judge me is Mathis
Fuck, wasn't tryna get stuck in the madness
Hood will take you under like Atlantis
Mama praying everyday like a mantis
For good juju and ain't nobody dancing
[Verse 2: HunnedBand Xay]
What?!
I'm sliding on these n***as
Way I move so graceful
I'm gliding on these n***as
Striding on these n***as
Surviving just to live a better life
I don't care for ice
Don't make me tell you twice
It's like I'm married to the game
See the people throwing rice
All the haters throwing salt
Young n***a taking off
I ain't scared to take a loss
Can't you tell?
Took it when I was 12
Used to be afraid to fail
Now I gotta escape from hell (shiiit)
[Chorus: Plato III]
Young and bleak
Chasing money in my sleep (in my sleep)
I'm from the street
Ain't nothing sweet but the Swishas n***a
Young and bleak
Chasing money in my sleep (in my sleep)
I'm from the street
Ain't nothing sweet but the Swishas n***a
[Chorus Screwed]
Young and bleak
Money, money in my sleep
I'm from the street
Ain't nothing sweet, ain't nothing sweet
Young and bleak
Money, money in my sleep
I'm from the street
Ain't nothing sweet, ain't nothing sweet
[Bridge]
Young and frostbit
Start the faucet
Boiling water on the stove to wash off with
Now they wanna know how I got sauce I was starvin'
Only the strong survive, that's word to Darwin
[Verse 3: TumiGun Twon]
I was left up in the house with no spoon or no paper plate
Mama was on dope, I had no hope I had to make a plan
I just wanna go but I won't fold I gotta bring it in
Money off of dope, I bought some clothes I had to flip again
I was always told if I fold then I will again
My heart beats so cold cuz my load keeps it frozen in
I got lots of scars on my heart living life of sin
I really had it hard, I'm on my job why God keep saving me
[Verse 4: RedBundy Savage]
I come from the bottom (bottom)
Kicking in doors and robbin (boom)
I had to go get me some money
The plug he wouldn't front me (nah)
In the streets from Sunday to Monday (monday)
I'm tryna do it the right way (right way)
I don't wanna go the wrong way (wrong way)
Ask God for a better day (better day)
Hope he show me a brighter day
Can't trust these n***as cuz they two-faced (two-faced)
Devil tryna take my smile away (smile away)
My daughter put a smile on my face
I thank God for that everyday (everyday)
I thank God for that everyday (everyday)
Thank God that I beat the case
Thank God I came a long way
[Chorus: Plato III]
Young and bleak
Chasing money in my sleep (in my sleep)
I'm from the street
Ain't nothing sweet but the Swishas n***a
Young and bleak
Chasing money in my sleep (in my sleep)
I'm from the street
Ain't nothing sweet but the Swishas n***a
[Chorus Screwed]
Young and bleak
Money, money in my sleep
I'm from the street
Ain't nothing sweet, ain't nothing sweet
Young and bleak
Money, money in my sleep
I'm from the street
Ain't nothing sweet, ain't nothing sweet
[Bridge]
Young and frostbit
Start the faucet
Boiling water on the stove to wash off with
Now they wanna know how I got sauce I was starvin'
Only the strong survive, that's word to Darwin
