I've been up for nights and days

And my eyes remain wide awake

Because more than my life's at steak

So I ain't got time for blinkin

All the time I'm thinkin

If this ain't hell it's one firey place

Metallic projectiles fly in ya face

And leave you like human garbarge lyin in drains

I gotta keep my eyeballs open

The only thing thatll minus the pain like ibuprofen is

9milli and k on the case

I don't feeel incontrol like pilots in planes

I'm trapped in this winding maze

I'm an insomniac I'm insane



[Chorus:]

I've been up for days and nights throguh this crazy life but

I'll sleep when I'm dead

Until they pay me right

My eyes are open wide but

I'll sleep when I'm dead



When everything on my to do list is ticked off,

Then maybe I can drift off,

Until then I'm wide awake, lyin in a daze,

My eyeballs gaze.

Hypnotised by the sound of my wrist watch,

Clickin tick tock.

I'm incharge of the Underground just like Brick Top

So I can't sleep I'd be wrong if I did stop

If I'm focused on writing a verse

You couldn't put me to sleep with a thousand and nine bottles of night nurse

It's likely I'll put ya lights out first

So I'll sleep when I'm restin in peace

Until then I've gotta bless these beats

Till I conquer the streets

If I'm conscious I can't get lost in a dream



[Chorus:]

I've been up for days and nights throguh this crazy life but

I'll sleep when I'm dead

Until they pay me right

My eyes are open wide but

I'll sleep when I'm dead



If you're drowsy remain in a slumber

My metaphors flow over ya head like a buttonless jumper

I can'#t sleep till I'm in the sky like lightning and thunder

Sometimes at night I wonder

Is pursuein this dream a blunder

Or the best thing that I ever did

I can't sleep or slip till I'm 6 feet under

Hence the song I'll sleep when I'm dead

You might only need money to survive

But my life relies on a needle instead

I wanna eat steak meals everyday

I'm sick and tired of livin on a diet of beans and bread

So believe what I said

I'll sleep when I'm where

I'll sleep when I'm what

I'll sleep when I'm dead



[Chorus: x2]

I've been up for days and nights throguh this crazy life but

I'll sleep when I'm dead

Until they pay me right

My eyes are open wide but

I'll sleep when I'm dead
