[Chorus]
Don't let the world lay you down to sleep (Don’t let the world lay you down)
And don't let sleeping be the only way you dream (Nothing happens when you wait around)
[Verse 1]
If you just keep me in mind, whatever you decide
Life is only one take, you cannot rewind
See I could leave this Earth right now, but legends never die
Gotta keep 'em mesmerized, out here eating with my guys
You could hate it if you like to, we do wait and sh*t survive
Different city every weekend, meet and greet ’em and they cry
So I look 'em in their eyes and I tell 'em it's alright
If you FBA you family now, I don't take that sh*t right
I can't answer every DM, but you bet you're ass I'll try
’Cause I had this one kid one time by the time that I replied
They said "Brandon isn’t with us no more, he took his own life"
And I don't know a lot of sh*t, but I know that ain’t right
[Chorus]
Don't let the world lay you down to sleep (Don't let the world lay you down)
And don't let sleeping be the only way you dream (Nothing happens when you wait around)
Don’t let them say you're not the things you think (Can't ever let them get you down)
'Cause you're the only one that can be you
It's not your fault
[Verse 2]
Even the birds and the bees know to leave when it's cold
Why do I still stay when there's no heat in this home?
Difference is, everything is always free for the birds
They just fly where they please, at peace with the breeze
And if they ever need to eat, just grab a worm from the ground
While I scrounge for some change, I can hear my stomach growling
This beat worth a million, but I take a couple thousand
The rich sit in their castles looking like Bowser
Now I'm rolling with Luigi, yeah we came to save the princess
I understand they listening, but they just don't get the jist yet
I just don't think they comprehend my level of persistence
So I'ma keep on preaching like it is my fu*king mission
[Chorus]
Don't let the world lay you down to sleep (Don't let the world lay you down)
And don't let sleeping be the only way you dream (Nothing happens when you wait around)
Don't let them say you're not the things you think (Can't ever let them get you down)
'Cause you're the only one that can be you
It's not your fault
[Outro]
I said everything is gonna be alright right now
Yeah, everything's on fire, I'm alright right now
Said everything is gonna be alright right now
Yeah, everything's on fire, I'm alright right now
Said everything is gonna be alright right now
Yeah, everything's on fire, I'm alright right now
Said everything is gonna be alright right now
Yeah everything is gonna be alright right now
