歌詞
Another sleepless night in my momma house staring at the ceiling
Another night with a heavy heart I cant describe what I'm feeling
Oulady laid up in the next room I know she can't sleep either
Almost 60 caring for a **** she must need a breather
She told me she worries about me and prays that I get a job
I pray for the same thing cause I'm tired of feeling like I'm a slob
My bedsheets smell like disappointment and unemployment
I cannot look in a mirror don't wanna face dissapoint
Approaching 30 at the speed of light I'm still stuck in the dark
Imposssible to find a job in the city of stars it's all dark
Regret heavy on my heart I wish I tried this at 20
I picked the safer route a 9-5 but it turned out dirty
It's kinda funny that I got none to show at almost 30
I cannot see whats next in my life man my vision been blurry
I lost my faith in God regained and I lost it again
But now we good I cannot blame Him it's just part of the game
How can I sleep
How can I sleep
I let go of the woman I love cause I felt I kept her stuck
Couldn't afford to be in love my **** that shit Sucked
She would've done anything for me, couldn't do none for her
Couldn't do none for myself honestly belonged in a hearse
It's crazy when your plan B is another ****'s plan A
If I sell a couple raps I'll probably get a place to stay
Trust me when I tell you this is not me chasing some dream
This here my last shot at not starting a fucking pyramid scheme
This is me trying not to trick pensioners out their SASSA money
This is me trying not to sell nyaope just to fill my tummy
When I got a pen that's more lethal than the American army
I know I'm safe in the game none of these boys can harm me
Some of my hommies probably shocked that I can rap like this
My other hommies already know that I can never miss
I may be late but this here my only ticket out the hood
So imma stay up all night for this shit make it sound good
How can I sleep (yo)
How can I sleep
