Sleep of Oldominion - The Beat lyrics
[Intro] Why I believe that is because I know how it feels when you sing it. I know what it does to you and I know of the evil feeling that you feel when you sing it. I know the lost position that you get into in the beat. Well if you talk to the average teenager of today and you ask them what it is about rock and roll music that they like and the first thing they'll say is the beat. (Sleep is better!) [Verse 1] Something's wrong with that kid Chris, he never pays attention He's always daydreaming and sh**, but sh** in my day dreams I'm the sh** And that's a much better situation then I'm in But I'm going to find a way out using my pen In my dreams I make history, in real life I'm barely making rent And you better believe I'm gonna make a dent And won't settle for anything less than the top spot wanna be Sure I'm a gambling man, with a hand full of grands I'm gonna slam them on the table until you understand who the f** that I am Yea I'm the guy that knows the guy that made your favorite jam Your favorite rapper's favorite rapper when I hit the planet Been so underground you didn't even know I landed And when I hit the top you can never get me back in My musicality's imbedded in me not just fashion So when I kick this f**ing door in I'm ever lasting Then I'm smashing the ones who ration the opportunities So they can be the ones to have them Nothing but loose ends in the true sense Tie them till the noose ends the life of this nuisance I'll fight for my right to deliver my two cents All night on this mic rearranging my blueprints Staying above water that sea of green at your crew ships Keeps people like me from letting out full clips [Hook] (x2) Every days a struggle How am I supposed to come up with no muscle? Yea got to pick up and hustle Got to pick up and hustle Before the world says f** you Every days a struggle How am I supposed to come up with no muscle? Yea got to pick up and hustle Got to pick up and hustle Before I tell the world f** you too [Verse 2] Now I'm the one behind the driver's seat, Sleep behind the wheel And I've be dyeing trying to climb the peak speaking what I feel It's never been a question if I make it I believe I will So when I'm finally at the top I'll be proud of what we've built Because we did it together there's no doubt about it Spending our youth running around trying to find the fountain Until chasing our dreams became selfish Or at least it seems until were old a sick with a get well wish So I can't shelf this dream that I've held since I was a kid Been giving everything I'm hell bent Like it's the devils retirement party, hell yes Like I was just going to stay in for the night all dressed Especially since in the honored guest The one that put him to rest, the one considered to be the best And when I beat him I replaced evil with fresh Yea I belt it out like a bat out of hell when I get it off my chest [Hook] (x2)
