Days & Nights |
I’ve been up for nights and days |
And my eyes remain wide awake |
Because more than my life’s at steak |
So I ain’t got time for blinkin |
All the time I’m thinkin |
If this ain’t hell it’s one firey place |
Metallic projectiles fly in ya face |
And leave you like human garbarge lyin in drains |
I gotta keep my eyeballs open |
The only thing thatll minus the pain like ibuprofen is |
9milli and k on the case |
I don’t feeel incontrol like pilots in planes |
I’m trapped in this winding maze |
I’m an insomniac I’m insane |
I’ve been up for days and nights throguh this crazy life but |
I’ll sleep when I’m dead |
Until they pay me right |
My eyes are open wide but |
I’ll sleep when I’m dead |
When everything on my to do list is ticked off, |
Then maybe I can drift off, |
Until then I’m wide awake, lyin in a daze, |
My eyeballs gaze. |
Hypnotised by the sound of my wrist watch, |
Clickin tick tock. |
I’m incharge of the Underground just like Brick Top |
So I can’t sleep I’d be wrong if I did stop |
If I’m focused on writing a verse |
You couldn’t put me to sleep with a thousand and nine bottles of night nurse |
It’s likely I’ll put ya lights out first |
So I’ll sleep when I’m restin in peace |
Until then I’ve gotta bless these beats |
Till I conquer the streets |
If I’m conscious I can’t get lost in a dream |
I’ve been up for days and nights throguh this crazy life but |
I’ll sleep when I’m dead |
Until they pay me right |
My eyes are open wide but |
I’ll sleep when I’m dead |
If you’re drowsy remain in a slumber |
My metaphors flow over ya head like a buttonless jumper |
I can'#t sleep till I’m in the sky like lightning and thunder |
Sometimes at night I wonder |
Is pursuein this dream a blunder |
Or the best thing that I ever did |
I can’t sleep or slip till I’m 6 feet under |
Hence the song I’ll sleep when I’m dead |
You might only need money to survive |
But my life relies on a needle instead |
I wanna eat steak meals everyday |
I’m sick and tired of livin on a diet of beans and bread |
So believe what I said |
I’ll sleep when I’m where |
I’ll sleep when I’m what |
I’ll sleep when I’m dead |
I’ve been up for days and nights throguh this crazy life but |
I’ll sleep when I’m dead |
Until they pay me right |
My eyes are open wide but |
I’ll sleep when I’m dead |
