Nightmares of the come up
They told me shoot for the moon so trust I got my gun up
I've hit a few planes, clipped a couple bird's wings
Even dimmed a few stars but I'm working on my aim
Caught in the crosshairs of fame and sanity
Investing in philanthropy but losing my humanity
Like all I want to be is a good person
I swear I'll heal the world when my heart stops hurtin'
Or when these girls finally notice me
And try and put me in their shopping carts at the grocery
Like “ooh girl, I just got me a millionaire!”
Feed em', f** em' , leave em' just because I got a mil to spare
But for now I'm a broke man
And my bank account looks like the outside of a coke can
I'm forever in the red, b**hes never give me head
Unless I'm offering some bread
And bu*ter, could never bring them home to mother
But that's just the life of a celebrity undiscovered
I swear one day I'll be bigger than breast implants
Riding in my Land Rover paying off college grants
But these f**ing loans are no joke though
And a degree is just a piece of paper to a hobo
So will that newspaper have to keep me warm
Or will I be the headlines that they're sleeping on?
Nightmares of the come up (x4)
I love the hustle but I hate the struggle
In a world of pins with an ego [as] fragile as a bubble
Pop...culture is a game of vultures
Money don't change people but it's crazy what the fame will alter
And I'm crazier for chasing it
I got a lot of pain and all I want is to erase that sh**
Take my past, bathe it in flames
Take my exes, forget their names
And just become incapable of looking back
Until the list of greatest is the only place to put me at
Never again will I stress over some p**y cat
Get it when I need it, always keep the rubbers rolling back
Maybe this is just a dream
And all that matters is dumb luck
Heart pounds, shrill screams
Cold sweats, nightmares of the come up
