Team no sleep
Team no dreams
They be dreaming bout the life outside of their reach
Trying to practice all the things they go out and preach
Build robots, build cars invent time machines
Write poems on paper, then nailing the beats
That's plural because it's justified that vamps can't breath
Because we took their coffin and we burned their breeds
That's a sho for the road they don't mess with heat
Packing up fire with a clip brimful of speaks
Words don't hurt me but they'll make you bleed
Probably break some bones as I hit this beat
No wait a Capella is the only thing I need
Cause I want you to hear there's truth to this verse
Team no sleep working for a reimburse
Hit the bags all day
Time slows he counts the sway
Bag comes dropping back
Drop a hook and three jabs
Just making himself perfect for the clash
Maybe golden gloves will give him some cash
Aka 'Moneyteam' but he wants none of that
All he wants is a name to his hard worked back
All he needs is a healing from the weighed down bag
These bones rage an aching that he just can't scratch
Cause it's down in his soul that he fears is black
But he fills up his lungs, spits blood, follow through
Ain't no pain keeping him from his crew
He made his life on the streets dealing crack
Now he carries up a bomb in his black book bag
He wants to blow away that fool that done mugged his hat
That's a Kobe signed jersey that that thug done jacked
And his grind getting weak, yeah his kick flip lacks
Kick push coast now his board's gone snap
Worn away the grip but he still grabs that
Throws on some tape and perfects his act
This team no sleep is not just a rap
It's a new found place in the heart of the hap(py)
(Hap)piness is hard to achieve
When you're just tryna make some bucks to retrieve
Your homie who's rotting and can't make bail
And you're busting your back but you're just sixteen
Won't see us in the clubs
Won't see me in the mines
Won't see me in the stu
Cause I don't know to grind
I write these words on cheap mead page
Hoping for the big break out of this bleak cage
I'm through with fighting fair
I'm through with eating air
I'm done fighting back
I just want to end the scare
Take me lord
Eternal sleep
But I guess it ain't my time
I got some sow to reap
Thats team no sleep
We take no vows
When the crowd stands up
We take no bows
Bow to no man who defiles my crown
I made me while trying not to drown
That boy slept little trying to get that diploma
He's just a little slow but he smells the aroma
That rapper is hitting that beat so hard
No college for him even though he's so smart
The grind broke his back, but the skater keeps to it
Cause he knows with practice he's gon perfect his doings
And the writer just ended his legendary tale
So damn tired but he won't be frail
We're team no sleep, fail to no avail,
I'm the Stranger and I speak the truth from behind this veil.
No sleep team, now watch us grab our dreams.
