Wide Awake

Layin in my room wide awake at night I can't sleep Nigguh Even when I close my eyes my mind paces At the rate of my heart racin wild My whole life's been struggle just to Barely even make it by I done wrong so many times that it me cry I can't change it ain't nothin Gonna make it right I've tried prayin but there ain't no better Days in sight It's like every time I get ahead again Inflations rise I still pray the sun shines and rains Will dry On the east side my where the cold Wind blows Hustlin through this life but the struggle Just grows Government whispers promises we Can't trust In a city where our dreams turn to ash And dust I was born in the shadows where the Streetlights flicker Raised by the struggle and the pain Gets thicker Just a kid with a dream but it's hard To aspire Watched my dreams get caught in the line Of crossfires Awake and I can't sleep Even when I close my eyes No matter how hard I try Im wide awake inside Awake and I can't sleep But I'm wide awake and I can't sleep But I'm wide awake and I can't sleep Yeah I'm wide awake and I can't sleep And I'm wide awake and I can't sleep But I'm wide awake and I can't sleep But I'm wide awake and I can't sleep Man I'm wide awake but I can't sleep And I'm Surviving in the chaos where the night is long I keep movin forward but the struggle feels strong No silver spoon just concrete beneath my feet In the city's heartbeat where the rhythm's never sweet Dodging shadows where the street echoes my name Every challenge faced adds another layer to the game But I rise like the sun no matter the darkest hour In this concert jungle where strength is the power I've stumbled I've fallen yet I rise from the dust In the symphony of struggle still I hold the trust Through the echoes of pain I find my own rhyme In the cold wind's embrace I compose my own time
