[Intro: Conway the Machine]
Yeah
Uh-huh
That’s five hundred thousand, listen here to it (Uh, uh)

[Verse 1: Conway the Machine]
Dark nights on those corners, warm liquor on cold mornings (Ah)
Sold product with poles on us (Ha), bro gone, my soul mourning (Miss that n!gga)
I can feel it, D’Ussé splashing on my boots when I spill it
My dog was the realest, yeah
Narcotic sweeps (Ha), they woke my boy out his sleep
Handcuffed on the porch in his drawers for all to see (Free my n!gga)
It’s the s*it that I saw that sharpened me (Made me sharp)
Since back when it was canned goods was all to eat (Ha)
The funny vibes I felt from my brothers, it’s hard to sleep
N!ggas don’t call to link when they come to town, it hurt me deep (I peeped that, though)
If they don’t see nothing else, they saw me eat (They see me)
A self-made millionaire, Machine, b!tch, from May Street, yeah (Ha)

[Chorus: Conway the Machine & Nas]
This s*it get wicked on these cold streets, my n!ggas don’t sleep
Regardless the circumstances, we gon’ eat
Lord forgive me for my foul ways
(I never sleep ’cause sleep is the cousin of death)
Look, look, s*it get wicked on these cold streets, my n!ggas don’t sleep
Regardless the circumstances, we gon’ eat
Lord forgive me for my foul ways (I never sleep, n!gga)
(I never sleep ’cause sleep is the cousin of death)

[Verse 2: Conway the Machine]
I’m in my bag, I’m in the kitchen, watch me cook all summer (Whip)
You said it was your year, I came and took y’all summer (Ha)
The feds came and took dog from us
Could have played NFL football, now we just doing football numbers (That’s fu*ked up)
I might play dumb, but I’m not a fool, though
I let you think I’m off point, but I’m in tune, though (Ha), yeah
S*it, is cool, though, it’s all love

But the business relationship is ruined, though (Talk to ’em)
N!ggas just count my money and pocket watch me
I seen n!ggas only wanna join me ’cause they can’t stop me
My right hand got mad I ain’t share his post and he blocked me (What?)
The internet got to him, I thought we was locked in (Stabbed)
That’s why I stay in my own bubble
I’m just staying out the way, even changing my phone number (Facts)
N!ggas thinking that they pulled a fast one, I seen it coming (I peeped you, n!gga)
Eyes wide shut, I don’t slumber, n!gga, I never (Ha, yeah, uh, sleep, n!gga)

[Chorus: Conway the Machine & Nas]
This s*it get wicked on these cold streets, my n!ggas don’t sleep
Regardless the circumstances, we gon’ eat
Lord forgive me for my foul ways
(I never sleep ’cause sleep is the cousin of death)
Look, look, s*it get wicked on these cold streets, my n!ggas don’t sleep
Regardless the circumstances, we gon’ eat
Lord forgive me for my foul ways
(I never sleep ’cause sleep is the cousin of death)

[Outro: Conway the Machine]
Yeah
You a gangster now, you on the other side
Whole new ball game
You can’t learn about it in school
And you can’t have a late start
