[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 5, one in the head, don't cock it
My young n***as doin' a drill, unload, reload the knockas
EBK, you know how I'm rockin'
Send the lo', my killas is droppin'
You know I can't go off a pill, on the fifth, you know we ain't hidin'
Heard them old n***as out plottin'
Knock 'em down, n***a, who you tryin'?

[Pre-Chorus]
In the darkness, I see light in you, uh
Rollie on my waist, hula hoop, uh
I start tweakin', depend on my mood, uh
Fightin' demons, make friends wit' 'em too, uh
[Chorus]
Lately, I've been, I've been in the streets
Can't leave the pole at home, it stay wit' me
Baby, I've been, I've been in the dark
Came from so many problems, look up at the stars
Lately, I've been, I've been in the streets
Can't leave the pole at home, it stay wit' me
Baby, I've been, I've been 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
Love'll get a n***a killed, fuck what you say, show me the proof
Babygirl, I'm a coof, babygirl, I'm a coof
And I was tryn'a find the time for you, it's cool
Glocks and beams, we brought the 40, know that we gon' shoot
I move out, no drillin' in these streets, nothin' to prove
I know that you love me more than I love you
I know that you trust me in this dark room
Fightin' these urges in this dark, dark room
You got me, baby, then I got you
Prone to the violence, it get me in [?]
Let's go slidin', 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
Can't leave the pole at home, it stay wit' me
Baby, I've been, I've been in the dark
Came from so many problems, look up at the stars
Lately, I've been, I've been in the streets
Can't leave the pole at home, it stay wit' me
Baby, I've been, I've been 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
