Lona - Stay Sleep Lyrics

Sleep
Sleep
Sleep Sleep

These days the only thing I'm fighting is time itself
Somehow I always find myself trynna find myself
I ain't never need anybody
These the lies that I feed myself
Somewhere in between being a artist and needing help
No ones ever there, so the lying helps
Lying wide awake in a sea of thoughts like Michael Phelps
But america ain't got a medal for me
16 shots with the metal for me
Mama say it'll get better for me
Better days, that I never do see
I try not to question her lessons
I try to give thanks for the blessings
I try to keep hope alive, but the more that I live it just lessens
To whom much given, much is tested
Why did I think I would be the exception?
They pray for my failure, envy my progression
Lona been a loner since adolescence
Making more moves than they expected
You ain't gotta like it but you gone respect it
Sometimes I push away those who accept me
Seem like everybody sleep except me

Niggas hate to see me up
But they won't get to see me down
I been whipping through the town
Like I'm the illest nigga round
It's my time & I know the shit
Niggas hit my line like I owe them shit
That's how I know I'm on my shit
Niggas hate to see me up
But they won't get to see me down (yeah)
I been whipping through the town
Like I'm the illest nigga round (yeah)
It's my time & I know the shit
Niggas hit my line like I owe them shit
That's how I know I'm on my shit

I been James Harden with these hoes
Nigga in & out
Ain't about what I been about
Nigga got tired of sitting out
Yeah they use to tune a nigga out
Now they hear the tunes and they listen out
I don't need your permission now
Girl f*ck with me or you missing out
One song for every curve she dish out
If you sleep on a nigga then stay sleep
I see a finish line they can't see
I been on 10 all my life like JoJo & K-Ci
Chilling with the crew 6, 7, 8 deep
Shawty love me like baby boy
Telling my niggas it ain't deep
But when I get back then it's waist deep
And maybe that's all that it ever was
Cause she used to ask me what we are
Now she telling me what we can't be
History, so I can't leave
Eye to eye, we can't see
Past shit, that I ain't see
Now she looking me dead in the eyes like stay sleep

Sometimes you feel like its just you, but it ain't
Sometimes you just want to give up but you can't
Sometimes they sleep
Sometimes that's the picture that you paint
Sometimes they sleep
Sometimes that's the picture that you paint

My niggas love to see me up
I guess shawty was down
I been whipping through the town
Like I'm the only nigga round
It's my time & I know the shit
On my shit, but it's lonely shit
Sometimes I disappear, guess a nigga got to own the shit
My niggas love to see me up
I guess shawty was down
I been whipping through the town
Like I'm the only nigga round
It's my time & I know the shit
On my shit, but it's lonely shit
Sometimes I disappear, guess a nigga got to own the shit

Paul Wall gave me the co-sign
Like Lona it's yo time
I'll be that nigga in no time
Funny I been him the whole time
I been the talk of the whole town
From the 713 to 512
They wondering what Ima do
They wondering what Ima do
I'm trynna die a legend
These ain't just raps, man they mean things
How yall still sleep on the dream team?
Yall some looney tunes, we the monstars
Claiming you hard but it's all off
I don't fall in love, I love to fall off
Got better shit to do than to call yall
They love me like Raymond
Yall getting caught up like Draymond
