Curtismith - No Sleep lyrics

[Intro: Simian] Oh my God Are you really feel again dude? Really? How many times do I gotta drill this into your f**ing skull? Ah, okay [Verse 1: Simian] This is neither the angel or the devil on your shoulder or head, but the voice that gets louder the older you get I don't know why you keep doing this I mean you can keep putting out beats and releases, pleading "Please I need this to sustain me" When it's nothing but draining That's like, 1, 2 months of high, tops You'd rather crest on that wave and you've forgotten When you speak like a flood that will never recede The pipe dreams only lead to the gutter, brother, there are other options to consider Ones that will take you farther than sewage water Like, I don't know, a typical nine-to-five: "Eat, f**, sh**, piss, buy your time until you die, etcetera" See the fact of it is, you need me to drive you, you just don't wanna admit it But you know it, think about it, what makes you constantly seek council from discouragement, right? I mean, I know you vibe with me I mean, why else the f** would you confide in me? I'm a pain in the arse but I'm also your harshest critic You know you've made it when you've silenced me [Verse 2: Curtismith] Could have, lost touched with the real feelings How do people even deal with it? Can you show me who the real villain Looking in the mirror, asking if I'm being real with it Yeah, hey, I've been hard on my grind Using my touch and investing my time You should do you cause I'm trying to do mine And I'm here and they gossip, they try to deny talking sh** from behind You see their faking from deep in their eyes I see the disguise I feel the resistance is keeping inspired I'm keeping my mission from reaching their knowledge So I keep it one hundred I push the pedal to the floor with the car running I be kicking down the doors when they star-shutting Paranoia getting stronger, you start frontin' Know Imma do me till the day I die I need a couple more years to go and spend my life I gotta change some views, ain't gonna waste my time I got a hundred other things to do to make sh** right While they criticize you won't realize I have the right intentions, yet I'm feeling fine, so I synchronize all my dreams with that To make the money, but keep the pa**ion [Verse 3: Simian] Okay okay, I get that You got the energy, the words, the lyrics, fine You got the resources, the self-help lived The best thing in hell then sh** sure Sad, this is capitalist, they say Ugh, but like Man does not live on pa**ion alone, but when you get to that stage you be castin' that stone So you gotta let me know dude Like, what do you fight for? Who do you rap for? What do you live for? A ship without an anchor is just wreckage waiting for an excuse to break, and buddy, looks like you're in deep water, keep swimming [Verse 4: Curtismith] Yet I'm in here with the liquor Took another swig just to make me think clearer I was in a ditch like this so I'm in fear of falling close to the same tree Lord made me a stronger man, then I'd be alone I put my heart in this, now you hear a song I make art with this, I don't need a coach I'm an arsonist with my speech enclosed in emotions Spoken word is to the beat I'm dotting all my "i's" and I'm crossing all the "t's" Believe I'm gonna be whatever I'm gonna read But I've been going on for miles, trying to sow all of my seeds Yeah, showing a bit of me Exposing all the work into my heart and my beliefs I'm hoping that my vision takes me farther than the sheep Cause I'm trying to be a shepherd, giving hope to all the weak Meet me when I'm gone, feel me in this song See me through my pa**ion, I'm balancing right and wrong It's tragic but all the fabric in magic is hella fake But I'm running from my dreams How long is it gonna take Yeah, I put the flowin' on a break Make something out of nothing if nothing is what you waste I think about a coffin and having dope as a grave Man I'm trying to find a balance to manage the way I'm paced I race against myself and it's myself only I do this for my pops and all my dead homies I pray that when I drop, I have stopped them phonies selling d**, being thugs, but the conflict's growing Man, I hope I got time for that You can spend a lot of time but can't buy it back So I ride the track like there's no tomorrow Let me spit my game and let these rappers borrow
