Jordan Rakei - Lose Sleep lyrics

Yes yes [?] Come on Yeah yeah, come on I'm just here to push limits sh** scared of heights but I stay on top of the game Just to say I did it Show young black kids that you can live it Free your mind with it Be proud of your pigment I wasn't for a while Too many times vilified For being a shade different Started hating myself And all dark skin, playing myself Charlie Sheen, two and a half men Remember after school Train station Busta "Break Ya Neck" blasting From iPod Mini Thankful cla** finished So I could go and play Majora's Mask with My little brother When cops come up and start asking me "Where you from? What you up to?" "Oh, from Moorabbin?" "That's half an hour from here. Not from around here Boy what you selling Where's your product?" I hadn't even touched d** at this point Except maybe a joint But my skin fitted the description So "oink oink had to be deployed Next day at school told my friends the facts of how they treated the boy They said I'm being crazy 'cos to them black voices white noise That's the world that we living in [Chorus: Jordan Rakei] We seem to forget The dark days of history yeah Time will manifest The endless possibility yeah Open your eyes to see The world is darker than it seems So we dreaming on (Dreaming on) Enough with the crazy, crazy talk Dave Chappelle taught me The worst thing to call someone is crazy Dismissing all the pain that plagues them in one word Just to avoid confrontation with yourself We prefer to sit on a chesterfield lounge While microwaving A meal by McCain and Watching Australian Idol Contestant failing While the house that we're in is in flames All because it's the routine (I dunno know about that man) So when they say too deep I say, but it's a reality You're too deep 'cos I'm just using eyes, ears and newsfeeds To get up to speed sh**, only those that don't read between the lines abuse these Therefore I don't lose sleep Because I'm well aware that's the world that we're living in [Chorus: Jordan Rakei] We seem to forget The dark days of history yeah Time will manifest The endless possibility yeah (The endless possibility) Open your eyes to see The world is darker than it seems So we dreaming on (Dreaming on) Enough with the crazy, crazy talk Open your eyes Open your eyes Open your eyes Open your eyes
