Sleep When I’m Gone

[Verse One: Danimal Lector]

Me and you are like Yin and Yang

I think what I'm saying

Is, you're about as fly as a wingless plane

And I'm floating on the wings of change

With a frame like Ving Rhames

Bangs, and I spit flames

Liu Kang when I kick game

You dangling? Let me clip, bang

Sick and deranged, don't you hang with me

I ain't Mr. Cooper, hit the hooka

And I'm turbo charged like Paul Walkers Supra

Top shelf, you're well, roach tray, dupra, hoopa

Need to roll blunts big as bazookas

Death stare, Medusa

Hit the booth and produce an overload to your medula oblongotta

Overthrow the rule, it's not a problem

Pooper scoopers? Yeah got 'em

You know I'm the shit, fam

And I get up in that ass even though I'm a tense man

Listen, read the wrist band

Who wants Jack Daniels?

Well, Daniel's jacked, then I just drank a half-handle

Time for that chill pill, used to being still ill

Voices in my head like "Murder murder, kill kill"


[Hook: Ryan Zayas]

Most people don't get me at all

I think secretly they hope that I fall

Deep in me I know I'm too strong

And I'll rest when it's in peace, I'll sleep when I'm gone


[Verse 2: Danimal Lector]

What you laughin' at, frat rap?

Should just call it Cabbage Patch

I'm not in the same class as that

I graduated, imagine that

Rat a tat tat, motherfucker, Mad Max is back

With a battle ax in the back of a black Cadillac

My swag is this, and my swag is that

Your swag got cataracts, and that's a fact

Can't see me, so don't swagger jack

I'm going green, as I burn this bag of grass

I float like steam, I am higher than a NASA Craft

The flow is mean, lyrical acrobat

And it only seems fair, you have the same talent I have

I'm one in a million, like Aliyah said

Take me to your leader, cut out his heart and eat his head, while I read in bed

I'm a fucking monster, really though

See me flip modes, busting rhymes like what's the deal-io?

Smack a silly ho, with a dildo, and film the fucking shit on video

Danimal Planet, Titty Show

Most people don't get me at all

I think secretly they hope that I fall

Deep in me I know I'm too strong

And I'll rest when it's in peace, I'll sleep when I'm gone


[Verse 3: Danimal Lector]

I'll sleep, when I'm six feet deep, up shits creek

I'm a beast with thick teeth, you're a leech on my dick, geez!

At least you could say please

On my balls like whoa, for all I know- forget it, so along I go

Bald guy flow, smooth swagger, who's badder? None of you rappers

I'm climbing up quick, without the Chutes & Ladders

Ruthless bastard, with the sentence

Bring your puppy, blow, Rin Tin Tin

Run and hide from this gun or I will, hint hint hint

Kill you, bitch, for no reason, I'm so cold, below freezing

You're so so, don't even

Go there, no need for me to get riled up right away

Fuck a drive by, I'll walk up in your drive way

Have a nice day, might say I'm a criminal

What I write ain't political, mostly subliminal

So listen to me closely, shall I proceed?

Pop pills, fuck bitches, smoke weed


[Hook: Ryan Zayas]

Most people don't get me at all

I think secretly they hope that I fall

Deep in me I know I'm too strong

And I'll rest when it's in peace, I'll sleep when I'm gone
