Lyrics

SLEEPLESS

[Intro: Dom McLennon]

Man, I'm tellin' you, this-

Nigga, shut the fuck up!

Listen to me right here in your motherfuckin' face

Check

Check check

Yeah

[Verse: Dom McLennon]

I got out of bed with the devil

Divin’ in the deep end with my demons

Soaking up the fundamental pieces

Every dozen cheapens

Watchin’ Stokely Carmichael speeches

Learnin’ bout the orders of the genius

I was something special as a fetus

Transcendental species

Threesomes with my shortcomings and weakness

That means that I’m fuckin’ everything thats in my way to go achieve this

I might be the wildest nigga dreamin’

Hands up with me if you in agreeance

You could lose your mind if you read this

Way before a nigga touched Seattle every other night was sleepless

Missions kept me up until completed

Every blade that brushed him was defeated

Reason why the battlefield retreated

Salads from the garden out in eden

Took unpaven routes and made it scenic

Someone said the people needed Jesus, believe it

I was lied to stolen from and beaten

Spirits here before me never faded or conceded

We in the same race but that don’t mean that I’m competin’

Big stepper, need some orthopedics

Speak encyclopedic

Stream of consciousness just started speedin’

I see replicas but now they never could repeat it

Far away from humble, but I’m further from conceited

This ain’t rap for me, now its another form of breathin’

Watch you lettin’ go and you don’t know what needs releasin’

Trauma from succeeding cause there ain’t no time for grievin’

I see the most pious as the heathens

How the promised land feel so misleadin’?

Shattered every gig that they was keepin’

I could hear the blood that you was beatin’

Thats just so intriguin’

Pray the humans listen when I speak it

No divinity is intervening from policin’

Diamonds in a lookin’ glass, gleamin’

Levels still increasin’

Throw away the things that you been perceivin’

Pedal on the pavement, I don’t plan on easin’

[Outro]

Woah!

That sounds good?

Let’s go!
