King Frustration

[Verse 1] What we do today matters tomorrow I heard mama sing with so much sorrow She taught me to lead, to never follow Never follow lead So when she lost her third son to violence She walked crooked from the people's silence She woke up each day on a lonely island They're lonely island breeze [Chorus] I barely get sleep I barely get sleep I barely get sleep no more I barely get sleep I barely get sleep I barely get sleep No more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more [Verse 2] The trigger man grew ten extra fingers When Superman left the burning building 'Cause he could not relate to all the killing Of black, on black children Unspeakable acts ungodly things The stress poured inside her nerves and veins She smoked everything to kill her pain Smoked everything for the pain [Chorus] I barely get sleep I barely get sleep I barely get sleep no more I barely get sleep I barely get sleep I barely get sleep No more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more [Instrumental Bridge] [Bridge] Oh when the fire keep on burning When the fire keep on burning She says "Lord what the hell has happened to me?" Oh oh Give me your tired and poor Get back, gotta get sad, sad "Lord what the hell has happened to me?" It's coming down on me [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] I barely get sleep I barely get sleep I barely get sleep no more I barely get sleep I barely get sleep I barely get sleep No more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more
