Sleep No More

The Man is on his way
I'm staring out the window
I can't sleep no more
I'd change my life if it would change you
Through all my years and tears
I learned there's something that I just can't do

How could I shoulder hold so much weight
Got this hell about to lose its fate
Every week it's a wake
A black mother found shot up and raped
My kinfolk, some fucked up news to take
I'ma put in work
The family tears done soaked my shirt
The past years broke me down to dirt
No one to feel my pain
Stress packed in the back of my brain
I'm held down, ain't nothing gon' change
Ain't shit to explain
I watched them white folks plead insane
Shelter each other from the pouring rain
While my shirt hold blood stains and mud stains
And the walls in my hood hold flesh and brains
And our babies are addicted to 'caine
And our soldiers and my hounds just gotta maintain

For all I see is been chosen figures
Then picture I look at it from a hound's state of mind
Then I figure this whole life of mine
Had to be mentally aggravated by hard times
Father why, so many of my people lost
In the midst of this game without knowing
So many drown in the pain and walking through the rain
Without a thought of where they should be going
Or where they might end up, so picture I find my mind bent up
And at times I find myself spending all of my profits
Until it's all spent up
Before I could catch up on my bills, shit really went up
Some people cried for it
Before the before, I'ma probably be forced to hit 'em up
My niggas die for it
Could picture I'm prepared to ride for it
When destiny call, respect the part like you respect the law
When life get hard, nigga hustle twice as hard
Ain't No Limit, tell all my people stay on they guard
You feel me? By any means necessary
I'ma make sure to stay this way 'til the day the world kill me
Look to stop me, you got to spill blood
I bleed passion, you can find me blasting
Fearing the shots, time to get slugs
Mental to crack, you can see that I'm about that action
Gets no love, you don't show love
That's how I see it, so keep it
I ain't never treated me equal, so the fuck your people

The dead years watching
They make you turn into the murderism nigga
That never miss 'em
That hit 'em when you spit 'em at a nigga
I figured it would get better for me
I figured it'd take a while
And look at me, hound
I'm built for the long haul
It ain't supposed to be like this though
How come every time I get a hold on life
I'm losing my grip?
And inside me, there's a passion for my hatred
And at the same time, my soul is crying to be set free
And placed beneath your wings
Lord, come and get me
'Cause the longer I stay, I'm losing you
What else could I do
But run with some niggas that feel
If these bitches ain't gon' give us ours
Then we might as well take it
They ain't playing, man, and I ain't faking
P, give me a tank
So I can knock down every dead end these bitches put in front me
Let 'em see what they done to me
Let 'em know, ain't no limit to me running in they face
Praying to bastard what the fuck they did to my people
And it's lethal when it's lethal
