Cam O'bi - Sleepless Nights lyrics

[1st Hook: Sierra Denise] I hope they notice me before He takes his toll on me because Cause I might go to sleep forever and ever [Verse 1: D. Ciano] A long night ahead of me, and here you go interrupting Being disruptive while I'm trying to be productive It's always late when you try to join the discussion So I make a**umptions, like “do I need you to function?” Eye lids feeling heavy, blinks are recurring steady I feel it in me, it feels like you're out to get me But I'm prepared, no doze just to avoid you Cause this is not one of them nights when I can enjoy you One reasons some people give up, you ought to be ashamed And on dark nights, you're the blame for being Bane Preventing so many bright futures none the less By tempting making youth want you more than success That's why I refuse to rest, I've seen the light And don't get me wrong, but it's like I need to write Plus you can hear it for yourself, don't believe the hype They see I'm bright, so here goes another sleepless night.. you feel me [Chorus: Roblak, & D. Ciano] Do You remember those sleepless nights? Reaching for Dreams that's in your sights I remember [Denzel Washington Talking] If you don't fail, you're not even trying I'll say it again, if you don't fail you're not even trying [Chorus] [Denzel Washington Talking] To get something you've never had, you have to do something you never did [Verse 2: D. Ciano] You used to be my break, I couldn't wait to see you The thought of you was great, but I know looks can deceive you I can't believe you, I don't want you but I need you Yea I said it, I always regret it after I leave you Wish I could look you into your eyes but I see through You as well as your disguise to the people You deprive the youth of their dreams too Don't be surprised & shook cause in my eyes you look a bit evil Making me doze off, making me snore Making me fein for you even more than before this is war All those times you led me down the wrong path Is in the past, and I'm alright, as long as I'm steady making it to the deprivation of you The trials and tribulations I'm facing complacent with you My destination's being awakened and making it through And my dedication is taking away temptation from you [Sleep speaking] Just go to sleep [Chorus] [Denzel Washington Talking] I prayed, I prayed and I prayed But I continued to fail [Chorus] [Denzel Washington Talking] Because the chances you take, the people you meet The people you love, the faith that you have That's what's going to define you [1st Hook] [Chorus 2x] [2nd Hook: D. Ciano & Delayne Nicole] There was a time I used to sleep at night Now that you're gone, I think I'll be alright But will I lose my mind? I guess we'll see in time [Chorus and 2nd Hook Simultaneously]
