I'm tired. I don't sleep anymore. I live a real bad dream. Leave the light on when you close the door. If I close my eyes I might miss out on what I really need and that's the opportunity to really succeed. My girl is on me wants me secretly to give up my dreams My kids look up to me and expect all of these great things. Tell me why I do it? Cause I got skillz, or am I being foolish thinking that my thoughts can make mills? I see the world changing. I don't wanna be left behind. So I don't sleep even when I do finally close my eyes. Call it what you want Insomnia sleep deprived... but if I get the rest I need my employers will pass me by. So I gotta stay up. To stay ahead of the pain. The moment I close my eyes I'll get a tech and foul out the game. Stay tuned for the next verse. It'll be uplifting. It wasn't all that bad. I'll show you. I need no sympathy!
