Intro:

I’m having trouble tryna sleep, yeah, yuh

I’m counting sheep but running out, run it up, uh, uh

I’m having trouble tryna sleep, yeah, yuh

I’m counting sheep but running out, run it up, uh, uh

Verse 1:

Having trouble tryna sleep, count my mistakes, don’t count no damn sheep

I come over sober, no Peep but shots I will take at myself just for free, ayeee

I’m gonna sow what I reap, positive stakes for my fam, it ain’t deep

Karma don’t change without me, I’m gonna make it tho the journeys steep, ayeee

I am a working man ready to burn a band just for these moments to shine where I’m sure to stand

Out where the curtain can’t cover my purpose fam I got some talent and you gonna learn it damn

I got the mind of a genius I’m Grilling these beats just like Genghis or flexing fake teeth and

I know at the top, they the meanest and I’m gonna go and achieve it, myself I believe in

And you can see that I got circles of people that matter like family no Urkel I just been so verbal

With all of my loving through hurdles that we jump together, I sure go to snapping like turtles

Cause I’m a teenager, flow quick like a ninja, lyrics are mutant from what I just been through

Take what I’m passionate bout and just pass to a route where I know I express myself simple

Chorus:

I’m having trouble tryna sleep, I have these nightmares I can’t dream

And I don’t know just what to think, I wanna live but I can’t seem

To find it out I wanna scream and fucking shout out all my streams

Of tears that show low self esteem but hide the fact so you can sleep

Hell ain’t after it’s right now, there is nothing, why not how

About making heaven crowned this reality allowed

Verse 2: Witenois

Yuh

Too many sleepless nights too many dreamless days

Too many closed stories too many open pages

Gotta catch myself I’m going to new places

With the same old thoughts ain't making changes

I done paid my dues but life cut my wages

I still persevere but I ain’t all revered

Jus like Paul revere gotta stick to my ways

1 if by land, 2 if I see my way right to the end

I got a future that’s going as planned

Cause I stuck to my guns I’m a proud boy

I done made an advance from the ground floor

I’m a poster child, kept my back ‘gainst the wall like a tack

I ain’t going back to the man I was the boy I had been could never have loved

Tired of running from truth, that shit just be bad for my lungs, but good for my heart

I’m ready to start no arcade fire but I’d quickly put a lighter to all of the games I’ve been playing I’m just saying

The future is bright and I’m gonna find my way out through all of the plight kept my voice in the dark, so now I’ll keep it light
