Sleepless Lyrics

Up late, restless, eyes closed, Sleepless

Drugs take, (Yuh) hectic, ice close, sinkin' (It's, uh,

5:37 A.M. right now) Love-hate, message, I won't read it

Tough break, session, I don't need it (I've been in the studio for fuckin', like

Six hours Up late, restless, eyes closed, Sleepless I'm sure my

Neighbor prob'ly hates me Drugs take, hectic, ice close, sinkin' (I don't know your name, bro, but

Sorry to keep yellin' at this hour) Love-hate, message, I won't read it (Shit)

Tough break, session, I don't need it

Even when well-rested, I'm restless and not well

Seems that I'm respected, their perspective, I'm top shelf

Hear it but my head is a special kind of hell

Fear it, but like a death wish, I'll never find it help

Decided I've been in it just a minute too much

Suicide, dividing living into admittance or love

Despite this, I stay vivid like this chick who drew blood

Siphon as I'm spitting like the women I do fuck

In every sound there's music and in every sound alarms

I'm never down, refuse to ever drown, I'm on

Heaven's cloud, that's true shit, in a wedding gown, my mom

Is ready now to view it with the heavy bound I'm drawn

But fuck it, I ain't choose it like these scars that's on my arm

Late nights in the studio or carving it some more

Hate myself, abusive, and they call it all self-harm

Make myself into someone they charge, a false alarm

Up late, restless, eyes closed, Sleepless

Drugs take, hectic, ice close, sinkin'

Love-hate, message, I won't read it

Tough break, session, I don't need it

Up late, restless, eyes closed, Sleepless

Drugs take, hectic, ice close, sinkin'

Love-hate, message, I won't read it

Tough break, session, I don't need it

We ballin' we drinkin', I'm gone off the deep end, say "call when you see 'em," I'm lost for the weekend

Still talkin' the evening, but block on my feelings, these thoughts I'm concealin' have stopped me from healin'

I'm tossin' my piece and it bobs and I'm reelin', rockin' with these to the bottom, Marina

That's aqua, no 'fina, I'm proppin' my feet up on top of the arena, That's awkward, no FIFA

If not, Then you're seein' hip-hop's unreliable narrator

Top of the sea like it's viscos, done with my old flow, bury anger

I spend my summers depressed, and my winters fuckin' manic

Got a blunt rolled for the stress, still I'm bitter, upset, frantic

Walkin' the same fine lines for the 8-5-9, misrepresented, so I take my time

This isn't heaven, but shit isn't stressin', disses get sent, so I fake my life

Never had a silver spoon, but what we steal is stainless

Never had to kill a goon, I be feelin' like it's aimless

We're not fighting for our lives, we're fighting for our character

Like pride lives when we die, so I win if I embarrass ya'

Instead of uniting for the prize, like coexistence is a barrier

Denying what is wise, our missions lie in failure

Up late, restless, eyes closed, Sleepless

Drugs take, hectic, ice close, sinkin'

Love-hate, message, I won't read it

Tough break, session, I don't need it

Up late, restless, eyes closed, Sleepless

Drugs take, hectic, ice close, sinkin'

Love-hate, message, I won't read it

Tough break, session, I don't need it

They think 'cause I'm Sleepless that my eyes are not alert

A blink, still caught them sneaking, sometimes smile, sometimes smirk

Creepin' when I breathe in, I designed this to be heard

Linking with the kingpin, slingin' ice to cool the world

Never was a genius, but I always saw beyond

Reverend had a clean script, a conman usin' God

Detriment, a mean gift, jealousy is odd

For one who follows Jesus, he never sees the cross

You see my lights on at 4 A.M.? I'm probably plottin'

I write songs when boredom hits, or stoppin' the sobbin'

Hope my mic caught what I'm pourin' in, but gotta be cautious

Cause my life is propped up at this torturous process, I'm locked in

If it wasn't for the music, my life would have no meaning

Slits and cuts and bruises, at night and I'm still bleeding

This what the fuck I'm doing, but I like that I'm still breathing

So don't wake me up or ruin the night you find me sleeping
