[Verse 1]

I wrote this 30,000 feet over the Earth's surface

Took a trip to Japan to further understand my purpose

Sleepless in Shibuya, told my wife to pass the ZzzQuil

Took a drag of that jet lag, now it’s time to let that sleep spill

We counting sheep and yo

We counting sheep and uh

We counting sheep and uh

We counting sheep

I gave y'all honesty on my last joint glad y'all came out

Some won’t appreciate it until the pastor sings my name out

I know that sounds morbid, acute depression still dormant

Tears of a clown, every days a performance

Shows don’t stop for one monkey, gotta get that off my back now

About to start a family gotta speak through these raps now

Saw true beauty dancing with my mother for the first time

After my wife walked down the aisle wishing I could reverse time

I'm counting sheep for now

I'm counting sheep and uh

I'm counting sheep for now

I'm counting sheep


[Chorus]

I heard your real dreams come alive in the nighttime

You gotta get up and get yours, there ain't no right time

Open up your heart homie, and let your light shine

Yo let you light shine, let your light shine

I heard your real dreams come alive in the nighttime

You gotta get up and get yours, there ain't no right time

Open up your heart homie, and let your light shine

Yo let you light shine, let your light shine


[Verse 2]

I tried to see the light through the eyes of a seven year old

He asked why his grandma died and if heaven was in the clouds

I stopped him and asked, "What if we living in heaven right now?"

He said, "No... it's too ugly. Streets should be paved with gold."

So I closed my eyes and tried to picture his scenery

Tried to reflect on self and what does heaven mean to me

Kanye coulda bought his way into heaven but instead he copped a chain

Mo money mo problems grandpa copped our last name

My conscience asked me, "What you live for? What would you kill for? Is it a dollar bill or is there still more?"

Had to travel the globe to change the beauty I behold

So now when I close my eyes I tell him I see gold

Poured out a Calpico for those who couldn't make it as planned

Hiked a mountain in Kyoto but still couldn't touch your hands

You counting sheep forever

You counting sheep and uh

You counting sheep forever

You counting sheep


[Bridge]

Will you still be with me in the morning?

Will you still be with me in the evening?

Will I still see your light when I'm yawning?

Baby you got me fiending

Baby you got me fiending

As light bust through the clouds to clearly remind me you everywhere

Trap house, pavements, and burbs

My people let your light shine ya let your light shine

My people let your light shine, let your light shine

Will you still be with me in the morning?

Will you still be with me in the evening?

Will I still see your light when I'm yawning?

Baby you got me fiending

Baby you got me fiending

As light bust through the clouds to clearly remind me you everywhere

Trap house, pavements, and burbs

My people let your light shine ya let your light shine

My people let your light shine, let your light shine
