Sleep When Dead - Intellectual

[Intro]

Just another day, another dollar

Another day to get closer

I remember niggas was kickin' me out for doing them type of beats

It's Real Cultural Shit

Yeah

Shit, I had to decide

Was I gonna do them or do me?

Whole lot easier to be myself

Whole lot easier

I don't complain

I just get even

They think I'm dumb

So a nigga stay schemin'

Where I'm from you don't need no reason

Whitney came to Compton, oh, they think it's scenic

Run off twelve

Now im wheezin'

Hand on my chest

Is my heart still beatin'?

Still believin'

I don't got time for people pleasin'

If you ain't got bread

Then I ain't cheesin'

Sleep when dead

I'll sleep when I’m dead

Where I'm from

We walkin' dead

Speak your mind

You might lose your head (Watch what you say)

I don't believe in fate

But you can't escape what's bred in the bone

The world don't want you born

So you gotta find another way out the womb

I'll sleep when I'm dead

Sleep when dead

I'll sleep when I'm dead

Blood rush to my head

Feel alive livin' in the red

I'll sleep when I'm dead

Blood rush to my head

Feel alive livin' in the red

Gon' die livin in the red
