[Intro]
Lately, I've been, I've been losin' sleep
I've been, I've been in the streets (Double M)
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
Can't leave the pole at home, it stay wit' me (Fah, fah)
But baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard
Baby, I've been, I've been in the dark (Flu Gang)
Said, "No more countin' dollars, we'll be countin' stars
Came from so many problems, look up at the stars (Rrr)

[Verse 1]
Came from so many problems
In the hood, can't have no conscience
And I walk wit' it, don't get caught without it
Young n***a juugin' and robbin'
Told myself I had to make a promise
Big picture, I ain't ever crop it
It was never a option
On the five, one in the head, don't cock it
My young n***as doin' a drill (Drill)
Unload, reload the knockers (The knockers)
EBK, you know how I'm rockin'
Send the lo', and my killers'll drop 'em (Free 30)
You know I can't go off a pill (Off a pill)
On the fifth, you know we ain't hidin' (We ain't hidin')
Heard them old n***as out plottin'
Knock 'em down, n***a, who you tryin'? (Rrr)
[Pre-Chorus]
In the darkness, I see light in you, uh (Light in you)
Rollie on my wrist, hula hoop, uh (Hula hoop)
I start tweakin', depend on my mood, uh (Depend on my mood)
Fightin' demons, make friends wit' 'em too, uh (Friends wit' 'em too)

[Chorus]
Lately, I've been, I've been in the streets (In the streets)
Can't leave the pole at home, it stay wit' me (Stay wit' me)
Baby, I've been, I've been in the dark (In the dark)
Came from so many problems, look up at the stars (Look up at the stars)
Lately, I've been, I've been in the streets (In the streets)
Can't leave the pole at home, it stay wit' me (Stay wit' me)
Baby, I've been, I've been in the dark (In the dark)
Came from so many problems, look up at the stars

[Verse 2]
I been through these trenches plenty times and I know what I gotta' do (Gotta do)
Love'll get a n***a killed, fuck what you say, show me the proof (The proof)
Babygirl, I'm a coof (I'm a coof)
Babygirl, I'm a coof (I'm a coof)
And I was tryna find the time for you, (for you) it's cool (It's cool)
Glocks and beams, we brought the .40, know that we gon' shoot (We gon' shoot)
I move out, no drillin' in these streets, nothin' to prove (Nothin' to prove)
I know that you love me more than I love you (I love you)
I know that you trust me in this dark room (Dark room)
Fightin' these urges in this dark, dark room (Dark, dark room)
You got me, baby, then I got you (I got you)
Prone to the violence, it get me a boost (It get me a boost)
Let's go slidin', ain't makin' no truce (Ain't makin' no truce)
[Break]
Lately, I've been, I've been losin' sleep
(In the streets)
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
(Stay wit' me)
But baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard
(In the dark)
Said, "No more countin' dollars, we'll be countin' stars
(Look up at the stars)

[Chorus]
Lately, I've been, I've been in the streets (In the streets)
Can't leave the pole at home, it stay wit' me (Stay wit' me)
Baby, I've been, I've been in the dark (In the dark)
Came from so many problems, look up at the stars (Look up at the stars)
Lately, I've been, I've been in the streets (In the streets)
Can't leave the pole at home, it stay wit' me (Stay wit' me)
Baby, I've been, I've been in the dark (In the dark)
Came from so many problems, look up at the stars

[Outro]
Lately, I've been, I've been losin' sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard
Said, "No more countin' dollars, we'll be countin' stars
