lyrics

No sleep

I got this looping On repeat/
my feet up of the concrete
Same place people eat and sleep
From the grind
to the gutter/to the beach
Crime/corruption and deceit
That make you rise up out your seat
I’m screaming love/then I’m screaming peace
I got a inbox full of beats
Take these statements across state
lines
Screaming fuck it all don’t know how to feel
Insomnia my only friend I really don’t know how to chill
How we all be lounging/ they starving in towns I’m pronouncing
Ozone to Oakland
Dc to the boggie down man
They killin niggas
Half my generation
All thugged out
Rollin
other half my generation all drugged out
Eyes wide open
Facing consequences
I’m bugged out
Son of the morning
Kept rising
Kept shining
Kept living beyond limits
They like where the fuck ya been
Red dragon on these niggas/bout to go jeremey lin
This song was dedicated to those given no chance
Fallin to chemical romance
Across the sky as we slow dance

I watch the citzen’s coping
while I’m listening Copeland
Beneath the medicine tree I’m smoking
True story
No downtown fiction
It’s a different world
That We livin
I’m trying to unlock
These codes and keys
Got parameters
That keep you placed
Where you suppose to be
Proper politics
That keep you locked in position
It’s every man for them selves
They wage war on the oppostion
Campaigns that cost them billions
Cant the feed woman or children
What is this
Its almost as if it no more heroes
Even existed
Then we comeback
Combat with this shit
Walking thru the district
Unique assassin
Word chemist
They say the city sleeps
All alone
City streets be there homes
More concerned with substances
Then music
With a subject
And some substance
I’m carefully
Constructing
Lines for a generation/got the kids cranking
Got the kinds thinking/I feel asleep dreaming
Woke up on the pavement/ I can hear the drums banging
Hard for me to resist that/dying to live like big cat

I’m sitting back I’m screaming/there’s no way out/I am feinding/ beaming rolling and dreaming/dope things I am seeing/once nonthing become something/only one believing/audio architect look what
I’ve been quietly building/
I remember vividly what these lights and sound did to me
transformed me mentally/
Got me thinking moments and melodies
All these haer brain schemes
Underground to mainstream
Shake my head at tv screen
Leading my own regime
My nana told me have no parts of this world
That’s why I stay so far from this world
Speaking thru these hs 50
Screaming out whose coming with me
Day of reckoning coming swiftly
Backpack on I came to spit these
Standing on solid ground
And watch it all shift
Say my rhymes just sit right along with the riffs
I said miss my family/miss my friends I’m so high and so tired
Starin out my project window feel so uninspired
I wrote this song

I wrote this song for my people that be laying on the streets
I compose all this dark thought
I lay my soul down on the beat
I be laying in my casket
Still get no sleep
