Yo you see I got this dream, of what I wanna see within my life
Not a nightmare yet it still keeps me up at night
So I'm reaching for the knife cause I need to feel alive
But these demons they're inside residing deep within my mind
And sometimes I just need a little space to breath
Life is chasing me, I really need to take a seat
Back and really think about what my aims should be
Cause what I'm seeing through these eyes means I'm sleepless without light
It's easy to lose focus amidst this painted sea
Living without any worries is a strain to reach
It's like I'm fading, trapped and afraid to reach
For the help that's right there to be saving me
Maybe if I could find a way to a brighter day
One where I don't cry in shame or spend every single night in pain
If I didn't have to hide my face and hide away from the light of day
Then maybe the dreams would stop of the day I get to fly away
You know me man I ain't get no sleep
Because I'm busting my arse off tryna see these dreams, it's like
You know me man I ain't get no sleep
Because I'm busting my arse off tryna see these dreams, it's like
You know me man I ain't get no sleep
Because I'm busting my arse off tryna see these dreams, it's like
I got some verses to write, got some beats to make
It's funny how they thought it's all a piece of cake
So you see, I'm trapped in this dream of winning life
So many boundaries and I need to free myself inside
I'm fiending for the shine, of beasting on the mic
But these people can't design the sickness seeping from my rhymes
But I'm stuck f*cked, with this writer's block
It's just tough luck, can't seem to find the spot
Keep missing on the mark it's imprisoned in my heart
Know its within my winning grasp I'm relying on
The fact that I did it, so I can do it again
Man I can make that magic happen just by moving my pen
Lately I'm uninspired and I'm f*cking tired
I'm gonna be getting up and showing you who can contend
And yo these CDs, these be my CVs
A collection of my thoughts recorded so you can see me
I give it all I got and then I give some more
But I find myself asking the f*ck I did this for, it's like
You know me man I ain't get no sleep
Because I'm busting my arse off tryna see these dreams, it's like
You know me man I ain't get no sleep
Because I'm busting my arse off tryna see these dreams, it's like
You know me man I ain't get no sleep
Because I'm busting my arse off tryna see these dreams, it's like
I got some verses to write, got some beats to make
It's funny how they thought it's all a piece of cake
So I've had this dream, every single time I close my eyes
And it keeps skipping through different parts of my life
And it's hard to decide, should I laugh, should I cry?
It's like I'm asking the sky and then it starts, I was 9
Rapping every line of Shakur and Shady's
If you saw me daily, you'd be sure I'm crazy
Few years down the line you woulda thought that maybe
He'd phased outta the phase but no, now he's in the booth
In pursuit of a dream, to be killing tunes
Spitting writtens to, be the best in a year or two
And then it flash forward and I can hear em screaming
I see the energy, but I can feel it beaming
If I'd ever questioned life then I was near the reason
And that's a better feel, than any meal I've eaten
And just before the DJ was about to serve em through
That alarm goes off cause man's got work to do, it's like
You know me man I ain't get no sleep
Because I'm busting my arse off tryna see these dreams, it's like
You know me man I ain't get no sleep
Because I'm busting my arse off tryna see these dreams, it's like
You know me man I ain't get no sleep
Because I'm busting my arse off tryna see these dreams, it's like
I got some verses to write, got some beats to make
It's funny how they thought it's all a piece of cake
I'm just a fat kid, with a phatter dream
So take a closer look man, if you haven't seen
It's gonna take a big gang, to shatter me
Cause I'm that fat kid with the phatter dream
