I need some sleep
It can't go on like this
I tried counting sheep
But there's one I always miss
I need some sleep
It can't go on like this
I tried counting sheep
But there's one I always miss
Hood up, head down. Thirty-three hours in the vice grip
Sun's out, gouged eyelids on the night shift
Weighed the consequences. Still do or die
Life's always greener on the other sewer's side/suicide
Right? But no one seems to take mine-too bad
I ride loyal as a sheep dog-true that
Even too much so, though. The care is hurting
Always end up bearing the bare bulk of a barren burden
Larynx burning, throat loaded like a landfill
After that piano drops, so does the anvil
At a standstill with restfulness, needless to say
Catch a break? Too busy counting all them sheepish mistakes
What a shame, man. Veering from the game plan
Damn, it's been years, still here in the same stance
Foresee the rise, it's easy to call the fall guy
Reborn yesterday? Should've slept all night
I need some sleep
It can't go on like this
I tried counting sheep
But there's one I always miss
I need some sleep
It can't go on like this
I tried counting sheep
But there's one I always miss
I'm wide awake trying to fall asleep, counting sheep
Another day, another dream
I live life through the eyes of a fiend, trying to scheme
All I know is money's green and how to balance out my triple beams
Late nights, drinking just to ease the pain
I wonder if I die today, would you fly away or decide to stay?
I never sleep 'til the sun comes up
Eyes closed, brim low 'cause I smoke them blunts
My flow's sharp like a blade 'cause I'm always on point
And if you vibe off my rhymes then roll up a joint
Real Recognize Real, that's a part of my life
And without my midnight crush, I can't sleep at night
That's right. Wondering what I need sleep for
I'm so stressed out, still puffing on them Newports
I'm dropping bars like an anvil
Popping Percs like they're Advils
I'm coked up, I can't stand still
I think I need some sleep
I need some sleep
It can't go on like this
I tried counting sheep
But there's one I always miss
I need some sleep
It can't go on like this
I tried counting sheep
But there's one I always miss
Sometimes eternal sleep sounds so nice
Gambling with life, waste breath 'fore you throw dice
But when I get to rest in peace, I won't want to
Casket closed, erode with those that haunt you
How awful... Tombstone blues
Loved ones gone, now you old news
Got my troops in line. They don't know the science
Or how I scrutinize my lambs like my lions
Hoarding, counting wolves in sheep's clothing
Soul and sanity hanging from a clothespin
You don't want to know of the ghosts of grown men
I won't show behind the closed end of that bullpen
The one I miss is the one that eats me alive
Sometimes you take a side if you cease to decide
Scared of the dark. More afraid of the light
So if I need to be awake, I save it for night
I need some sleep
It can't go on like this
I tried counting sheep
But there's one I always miss
I need some sleep
It can't go on like this
I tried counting sheep
But there's one I always miss
