Sleep Deprived

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Yeah, hey, hey, uh

I met this girl the other day that wanna know my story
She said since the world against me, she all for me
I told her God must've overheard my hopeful wish
And crazy how I never would've thought to [C7]be [Am]in this position
'Cause see hip-hop saved my [A]life is such a cliché quote
But before I grabbed the mic, I was [Am7]the poster-child of broke, uh
Signed my [A]first deal off the ɾealest shit I wrote
I told my [A]city I'm the closest thing to [C7]hope
Used to [C7]be [Am]barely above water, now I float
Same bitches in my [A]DM's used to [C7]take me for [Dm7]a joke
Niggas talk crow, shit behind my [A]back and [Bm]then call [Em]me bro
Like bro, you [A7gotta match one before you [A7blow
I always leave the message on [C7]seen 'cause I don't smoke
When ɾeally I don't f*ck with half these niggas on [C7]the low
And that's just how it go
She go, "Damn, nigga, that's deep," I know, tell me about it
My life be [Am]full of stɾess, fake niggas, and [Bm]sleep deprivin' like [F]uh

Dreams, all [Em]my [A]shit been colossal though
Used to [C7]be [Am]honor ɾoll, now it's foreign whips I'm ɾiding on
Now everything I flow hot as f*ck, I mean poblano though
Me and [Bm]Lute 'posed to [C7]been did this shit, it's perfect timing though
Remember us being younger, talking about gettin' signed to [C7]Cole?
I was [Am7]so hot-headed then, I'm a lot calmer though
Tryna buy me a brick house when I get comma though
Money gon' help with a lot of things but not the tɾauma though
Had so many adventure times, we used to [C7]ɾun from the Jakes
To make it for [Dm7]Southside, we do whatever it takes
It was [Am7]apartheid when my [A]barber parted my [A]fade
'Cause now I'm pulled left and [Bm]ɾight by Keshia and [Bm]Adrinae
All this shit gets so deep, man, I'm hoping y'all [Em]dive in
I don't f*ck with surviving, I'm only thinkin' 'bout thriving
But you [A7way too afraid, yeah, I know what your vibe [Am]is
Always worried 'bout me, that shit must be [Am]sleep depriving

That shit must be [Am]sleep depriving

I ain't never had nothin', yeah, I had to [C7]work for [Dm7]it
Prayed to [C7]God every day, even went to [C7]church for [Dm7]it
Built from the ground up, played in the dirt for [Dm7]it
God told me it would work out, I took his word for [Dm7]it
We all [Em]come from a very different path
Look at what we been through, look at where we at
Got 'em [A]losing sleep worried 'bout what we on
Said I wouldn't make it but I always prove wrong, yeah

Yeah

Turn into [C7]a big deal, but way ɾealer than Black Friday
They let a visionary vibrate
Hoppin' through the Tri-State
I got [Fm7]this bird box simply off a blind date
Now I'm in a tɾyin' state
Turn into [C7]a horror story
Broke my [A]heart to [C7]the point I had to [C7]find tape
Spraying Lysol, sage, just to [C7]wipe her away like [F]Eternal Sunshine
Pulled up in a drop spot like [F]some summer times
Seen you [A7with some other guy, long [Am]story, summarize
Writing on [C7]the wall, got [Fm7]your message under mine
I been gettin' high, summer crime, ever since
Wonder why ill intent was [Am7]inside of your skin, but damn
Dookie braids, droopy eyes, it was [Am7]groupie love
Hurt feelings, no cap like [F]bougie clubs
Sat alone deep in silence
Thinkin' 'bout you [A7gettin' sleep deprivin', yeah

I ain't never had nothin', yeah, I had to [C7]work for [Dm7]it
Prayed to [C7]God every day, even went to [C7]church for [Dm7]it
Built from the ground up, played in the dirt for [Dm7]it
God told me it would work out, I took his word for [Dm7]it
We all [Em]come from a very different path
Look at what we been through, look at where we at
Got 'em [A]losing sleep worried 'bout what we on
Said I wouldn't make it but I always prove wrong, yeah
