(Verse 1 - Dom McLennon)
430, trying to get rest
Taking a couple hits to relieve a bit of the stress
All the anxiety coming from the society
I reside in has caused me to sacrifice my sobriety
But I'm livin, who am I kiddin
Depression used to have me sadistic and angst ridden
But I'm better now, yeah I'm feeling better now
Finding new mental soil, breaking better ground
An hour past and yet I can't find sleep
Guess its reminiscent of how I've been trying to find peace
And, it's been a peice since if really felt low
Cause the journey to unlocking my mind's a positive road
You think I was a fiend for enlightenment
In all reality I'm waiting for when light hits
My window pane, I'm sitting in the frame
Picturing what I will say, during
Anothersunrise
(Hook - Gil Scott Heron)
And when the morning comes
If there's been no rest for you
We've been friends long enough
You should know what to do
(Verse 2 - Dom McLennon)
My mind races when other people are sleeping
About the promises everyone isn't keeping
But I learned to be alone
Through the night before the light I try to get into my zone
But the days call, I wanna be a poet
And have my soul glow the way the sun does; potent
Now I'm sitting stoic, tryna meditate
Better than whatever the sheets in my bed would make
I start to envision a new world
Where reality and astral projections are just a swirl
And I'm hurled to a place, a whole new space
Where I create reality but everything is fake
I start to open up my eyelids
On this flight of life I'm now feeling like I'm the pilot
With a route to the heavens, my journey has only begun
Taking every red-eye just so I can see another sunrise
(Hook & Outro - Gil Scott Heron)
And in the afternoon
If things are still the same
Come and join me on my cloud
Now you must wonder in the evening
How everything got so turned around? (Repeated x2)
