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
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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
|
|
[Chorus: x2]
|
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
|
