Joe Budden - No Sleep lyrics
Baby girl told me in my sleep I was talking So it's only natural I ask her what I said (said) She said she woke up when she heard But she was so damn tired she couldn't make out a word(word) She said she was tryna see if eventually I was screaming a name of a bird (bird) I told her that's absurd (surd) And then gave her the face like word And then she replied Yeah and said it was quite weird. Said she was type scared. I said that's a side effect that you hear When you trade bad dreams for some for some great nightmares (mares) When I closed my eyes (eyes) I escaped the poltergeist. My escape from reality just what I needed Bring me to a place where shawty never cheated And even if she tried and succeeded Then this other world wouldn't even get heated f** the details I don't care about why I chilling with my grandmother, she ain't die I was browsing online and see mike on a banner That said you could be like me and beat cancer Anything I touch I'd feel No infection but it seem so real Was Leaving out the casino with a nympho Yes Ray it could be so simple Here's how I arrive with a roller with my kin folk Learn how to build me a house with no windows And that's when I think I saw a ribbon in the sky But it wasn't from and intro. Cuz where am at there's no rules once they got They still got love from miss info. She said in my sleep I'll be laughing, but sh** be funny to me Look my ice cream was 200 degrees If it dripped I get a hole in my dungarees. See my enmity is my protection (wad up). Me and hip-hop have not connection (wad up) Which got me to reflect and is that Why the mirror wouldn't show my reflection? When I close my eys there's no dollars You could scratch that one as an excuse. And why folks do the things they do Or why people act so brand new. I had wings on flying out of prison with a ratchet Was only there cuz someone snitch Look no one's poor nor one's rich Just My way of creeping if life is a b**h Took a wall on the ceiling just to get my mind right That was yesterday (so) so in hindsight Since I was able to hull over Took it as God telling I'll never fall off Got rid of name brand in j**elry (why) Most people just use it as medicine Like it could take them somewhere They aint never been But here you better off not better than Stuck in a room with an elephant Open the closet and d**h got my skeleton And a combo with a man with no ears And all of a sudden everything became so clear Have no fear I just won a first cla** trip to nowhere Erybody goes there But they don't stay the whole year Me I got 365 shows there My girl said in my sleep I'll walking So I asked baby "where I go" She said I be walking slow She don't never wanna get out of bed So she don't know I went to see a man walking on water Asked if he ever get things back in order I've been there 2 years over a quarter But everytime I open my eyes it's like torture She said please I gave you a whole nother whole For you to go do with as you please Just so you appeased Mixed with a couple of songs about real life While you make believe So I teleported outta there with a grin, when a bum With a mansion, invited me in the in the politic about politics Said something about Def Jam I ain't acknowledge it I went to see a virgin with AIDS Yeah, I thought about smashing that Yeah her a** was phat So appealing tattoe on her inner thigh Says she doing better that she was feeling (feeling) I think I've seen shawty before Maybe in a club or something lil Maybe in VIP But wasn't nobody there but me And the club was all red (red) Then she start playing with my head (head) And then I caved (caved) Then I asked shawty wats her name And it was weird cuz she f**ed around and disappeared Like what a cruel joke Cig lit but from it was no smoke Flicked in ashtray and seemed task face Slashed through a school hall on a half day Was getting chased couldn't tell by who Then a hallway turned in a cliff (wat else). Screaming pilf before I was dead Some coward got my hand out that bed Baby girl told me in my sleep so I was screaming So I said that's a lie. She put her right hand in the sky And said you was but I don't know why Gotta go good bye (good bye)
