[Intro]

Oh, it's real out here

Like no one understands sometimes

If people could see what's really going on

Like people are just, just going mad in front of me, you get me?

Everyone's growing up too fast, I swear

Feds don't understand us, adults don't understand us

No one understands us

We just live do what we do like, it's real

It's Raskit (Yo), shout out to all the mandem

Yo, I'm repping, I'm trying man (Listen, yo)


[Verse 1]

Sometimes I wake up wishing I could sleep forever

I spend my whole life tryna pull myself together

Tryna reassure myself that I ain't going mad

I gotta come to a conclusion, it's now or never

Sometimes I wake up wishing I could sleep for years (Years)

I've been through anger, pain, blood, sweat and tears

You'd think that any kid in my position would be glad

Quite the opposite - more worries, more fears

Sometimes I wake up wishing I could sleep for days (Days)

It's like I've lost the love, I'm only in it 'cause it pays

I find myself back on road, things are getting bad

More and more I'm going back to my old ways

Sometimes I wake up wishing I could sleep for good

And if I had the guts to end it all, believe I would

It's getting boring always being miserable and sad

Shit, I would love to be polite, I really wish I could

But life's pressures often get me down

Sometimes I feel there's not a lot to smile about, so I frown

And I talk a big whole heap of badness

Because my life's a big whole heap of madness

I've seen a lot, maybe more than I can take (Real)

Under pressure everyday trying not to break

But I'll survive 'cause it's what I do best (get me?)

I'm a challenger, put me to the test


[Chorus]

Sleep tight, everything will be alright

By the end of the night will be the day, just pray that you see it (See it)

Strong you gotta be it, if you wanna get through it

Stretch your mind to the limit, you could do it

Sleep tight, everything will be alright (It's gonna be alright)

By the end of the night will be the day, just pray that you see it

Strong you gotta be it, if you wanna get through it (Don't watch no one)

Stretch your mind to the limit


[Verse 2]

It's almost like I've got the world on my shoulders sometimes

Yo, I struggle sometimes, you know I'm hating petty crimes

But we lived in hard times

No one to turn to and no one to talk to

Life's like a doorway, everybody walk through

Everybody's talking, but nobody's listening

Everyday some new shit, week out and week in

All this negativity, why they tryna get at me?

All up in my life, rah, where'd you get the energy?

I don't feel well, but you still bother me

You're giving me a headache man, you might as well just clobber me

Blud lately I've been lonely, but you only phone me

When you want a favour, then you wonder why I'm moany

Don't really ask much, so I don't owe much

Don't receive a lot of love, so I don't show much

But the little that I do I put it in this song for you

Handle your business 'cause I do, listen


[Chorus]

Sleep tight, everything will be alright

By the end of the night will be the day, just pray that you see it

Strong you gotta be it, if you wanna get through it

Stretch your mind to the limit, you could do it

Sleep tight, everything will be alright

By the end of the night will be the day, just pray that you see it

Strong you gotta be it, if you wanna get through it

Stretch your mind to the limit, you could do it


[Outro]

Shout to all the youngers

E3, do your thing, but I swear to you school

Get what you can out of school, it's real out here

(Raskit from Bow E3, like Dizzee Rascal from Bow E3)

(Don't worry) Shout to everyone still hustling

(Think I ain't got you in mind, don't worry)

Make it, focus, I swear to you, you could do anything

(Dizzee Rascal's from Bow E3) Real

I need to talk more
