Mind’s eye, I’m stressed

I’m gasping just to try to catch my breath

Can’t organize what’s going in my head

I’m failing this test, losing my rhyme

I can't decide, got reasons that stay on the side

They can’t see I’m pacing my stride

This ain’t no straight line

Got so much to prove

I’m sleepwalking 

Got no place to stay

I’m falling

Out of my own space

Ain’t tryna lose my way

I'm sleepwalking 

Got no place to stay

I’m falling

Out of my own space

Ain’t tryna lose my way

I ain’t got no plan

Chaotic, it’s just getting out of hand

No logic, I’m just tryna understand

This road I'm on, am I just lost

Cause I want it all

No looking back at what went wrong

I made it past the lies and the faults

Didn’t freeze when it’s cold

Got so much to lose

I'm sleepwalking 

Got no place to stay

I’m falling

Out of my own space

Ain’t tryna lose my way

I'm sleepwalking 

Got no place to stay

I’m falling

Out of my own space

Ain’t tryna lose my way

I don’t want it

I ain’t evеn tryna stunt 

Watch all my ancestors tryna get out of the sun

So why wе want it

Why we gotta work to forget 

Sail the seven seas just to barely make rent

Got me livid

Like we ain’t livin with vision

Someone tell me what I’m missing

Maybe I’m trippin

Generations of sedition 

All they want is division

Thinking we silly for dreaming

And that’s cap

Centuries of survival that’s fact

A treasury of our culture, mind lapse

A bunch of kids who can’t speak to their fam

Another dollar made on our backs

Imma just keep it hundred

No making up plays we anointed 

We ain’t just colonization

So wake up and realize that we done sleepwalking

I'm sleepwalking 

Got no place to stay

I’m falling

Out of my own space

Ain’t tryna lose my way

I'm sleepwalking 

Got no place to stay

I’m falling

Out of my own space

Ain’t tryna lose my way
