Lose Sleep

Yes-yes, today, shake-shake, hey-hey
Come on, yeah-yeah, come on
I’m just here to push limits
Shit-scared of heights
But I stay on top of the game just to say I did it
Show young black kids that you can live it
Free your mind with it, be proud of your pigment
I wasn’t for a while
Too many times vilified for being a shade different
Started hating myself and all dark skin
Playing myself, Charlie Sheen, Two and a Half Men
Remember after school, train station
Busta «Break Ya Neck» blasting from iPod Mini
Thankful class finished
So I could go and play Majora’s Mask with my little brother
When cops come up and start asking me
«Where you from?
What you up to?
Oh, from Moorabbin?
That’s half an hour from here, not from 'round here
Boy, what you selling?
Where’s your product?»
I hadn’t even touched drugs at this point, except maybe a joint
But my skin fitted the description
So 'oink oink' had to be deployed
Next day at school, told my friends
The facts of how they treated the boy
They said I’m being crazy
'Cause to them, black voice is white noise
That’s the world that we’re living in
We seem to forget
The dark days of history, yeah
And time will manifest
The endless possibility, yeah
Open your eyes to see
The world is darker than it seems
So we dreaming on (Dreaming on)
Enough with the crazy, crazy talk
Yeah, yeah
Dave Chappelle taught me
The worst thing to call someone is crazy
Dismissing all the pain that plagues them in one word
Just to avoid confrontation with yourself
We prefer to sit on a Chesterfield lounge, while microwaving
A meal by McCain and watching Australian Idol contestant failing
While the house that we’re in is in flames
All because it’s the routine (I dunno know about that, man)
So when they say, «Too deep»
I say, «Product of reality, you’re too deep»
'Cause I’m just using eyes, ears and news feeds to get up to speed
Shit, only those that don’t read between the lines abuse these
Therefore I don’t lose sleep
'Cause I’m well aware that’s the world that we’re living in
We seem to forget
The dark days of history, yeah
And time will manifest
The endless possibility, yeah
Open your eyes to see
The world is darker than it seems
So we dreaming on (Dreaming on)
Enough with the crazy, crazy talk
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
