Rod Wave - Federal Nightmares Lyrics
Official




Hold up, say, Drama
What up, my nigga?
Barack O-Drama
Uh-huh
That's what your name is, huh?
That's what they call me
Why it took us so long to do this Gangsta Grillz, dog?
Nigga, I was waiting on you
Damn, hold up, man, was my fault or your fault, dog? Yeah
Come on, man, I told you
That really ain't true, I was blaming you
On the real, I'm a real nigga, I can take my charge, you heard me?
Them niggas ain't never, ho (Look)
Every time I went to jail, you heard me? I had a nigga with me

Uh, will I see a billion like Jigga 'nem? Yeah
Or will I go fed like B Jizzle 'nem?
So much pain in my heart, it got a nigga hurt (Yeah)
Yeah, my brother back in jail, my daddy back in jail, bitch, I think my family cursed
And I can't shake the image of my cousin in that hearse
Ever since that day, it's been hеll on earth
Gotta get the monеy first, playing gang, get put on a shirt
But they can't keep discrete, that police beefing be the worst
Killers killing killers, robbers scheming on a nigga
To get you out that jam, you must be briefing on a nigga
I'm tryna beat the system, what's the cheat code?
Running from my past, in my rearview, I see RICO

Billion-dollar dreams, federal nightmares
God, answer my prayers
I can't sleep 'cause it's frightening
And every time I close my eyes, I see indictments (Look)
And oh no, baby, I'm scared
Go anywhere, go everywhere, but don't wanna go fed
Oh no, baby, I'm scared
Go anywhere, go everywhere, but don't wanna go fed

Won't trust nobody with my life, I got my own strap, yeah
Tell me who to call when your phone tapped, yeah
The judge'll prove it once the crackers kick your spots, yeah
You the one that called to get everybody hot, uh
You the one that said they got the city hot, uh
Got them youngins spinning Bentley, just might bend your block, uh, uh
Tell me how you worth the shit you think I'm not
Tell me how you called it off after you sent some shots
And you got the gang twisted
Tell me how you started, ain't gon' stop it, is you quitting?
Tell me how you start the beef then quit it, I don't get it
A nigga popping Perkies back to back, I'm in my feelings
Free Lil Smacka, folks need Spilla and Lil Glizzy

Billion-dollar dreams, federal nightmares
God, answer my prayers
I can't sleep 'cause it's frightening
And every time I close my eyes, I see indictments (Look)
And oh no, baby, I'm scared
Go anywhere, go everywhere, but don't wanna go fed
Oh no, baby, I'm scared
Go anywhere, go everywhere, but don't wanna go fed

Go fed, nah
Go-go
Bi-billion-dollar dreams
Go fed, nah
Go-go fed, nah
Federal night—
Go fed, nah
Go-go
Bi-billion-dollar dreams
Go fed, nah
Go-go fed, nah
Federal night—
Go fed, nah
