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
