Sleepless has to be one of my favorite songs. It was written at time where all I did was go to work (full-time), go to college, then work on building my studio (Cherry Sky) and perform. As turbulent as it sounds I found a peace in the chaos of having a busy schedule and I wanted to convey that in this song.
Lyrics:
I come alive in the night-light
Feel the rhythm of beat//
Kicking back like a old 45
And I ride at the right height
All this hoping and waiting
Is killing off
they hating I’m peelin off
Gotta get it from the get go//
Lets go, now this could be my last hour
That not fear
my n**** that’s power
so we up until the wee hours
posted on the block and devour
anything that couldn’t be ours
shit they barking now but we louder//echo
play no game (play the game)
and never sleep (never sleep)
stay on aim (stay on aim)
im just in too deep( in too deep)
so here I am
took a leap of faith
flew across the Atlantic
just to get a taste
Fade from the haze
Trying to find my wayz//
Doin business with satan
Till my final days
[Hook]
Sipping while I’m severing got my mind on that cream x 3
Sitting back and counting stacks I’m just chasing my dreams
Sipping while I’m severing got my mind on that cream x 3
Sitting back and counting stacks I’m just chasing my dreams
You ever see the devils flower bloom
Turn off the lights step in a crowd room
Crank up them dranks//
Turnt up that music
We gone party, rage and get stupid//
party, rage and get stupid//
this is sound rebel music//
nimba county
how we do it//
running like that time borrowed
never looking for tomorrow//
Got no regrets (echo)
And hate those fears
Aint broke a sweat
18 years
Blood sweat and tears//
I guess they can’t relate
I put it all on the line
I’ll see you at the gates//
Addicted to hope//
up all night//
Building my empire//
Ready for the fight//
(Hook)
Hope you enjoy
El
