Josh Atticus - Insomnia lyrics

(Hook) Me versus sleep Play hide and seek at night Bed bugs ever present But never chance to bite While y'all be dreaming I'm tweaking Seeing the growth of my demons Hoping to choke out these legions Hold up just steady your breathing [Verse 1: Josh Atticus] How come doing good things Never good for the good do-er Why they pop Martin Luther Why they pop on a hooper Who homies pop on n***as each day But he on the court these days But on this day He walking home Hand on ball Ear on phone Ball hit asphalt Ball hit hand Asphalt, hand Asphalt, hand n***as roll up without no plan Fist in hand, mind on frantic Antics rampant Rants flowing on tangents Spot hooper and hands hit Sirens ringing and clan split Havoc deeply mobbin Leave blows to hoopers noggin Leave crimson soakin toboggan Leave mommy on the ground Paramedics is talking But hooper is only coughing Blood sputters up off him Week later a coffin (Hook) Me versus sleep Play hide and seek at night Bed bugs ever present But never chance to bite While y'all be dreaming I'm tweaking Seeing the growth of my demons Hoping to choke out these legions Hold up just steady your breathing [Bridge] I hear mama crying, don't cry I hear mama crying, don't lie Crocodile tears never make a sound Worthwhile tears always hit the ground (2x) [Verse 2: Josh Atticus] He used to color inside the lines and strive on time tables Now I catch him all the time doing lines off my table Started with laced spliffs When he rolled up we'd dip Residue on upper lip Left us more than just a tip It was no longer just a hobby Posted up in front of the lobby Of apartment complex Opposite of apex Hanging around the bottom Best friend name was Sodom As if mama hadn't taught him Bad friends lead to them problems But those weren't his friends Them punk n***as was using him Everytime they spot him they calling out vulgar pseudonym Laugh it off like it's cool to him Deep down it ruins him Self esteem was to the brim Now it's so low like cholo rims And I hate them They make me sicker than syphallis Pushing rocks like sysaphis To my n***a who pushing fist Of scratch right back Cause the cane became costly We asked about crack He snap back quite falsely Trading crock pots For crack rocks And match box from kids Going thru things To loot things For two things, to bid The other for cash Support the habit you stashed Away from mommy and dad Because you know it's that bad Well I can- Wait. I know, you can stop whenever you please so Why didn't you stop when your needs were met on your knees Geez Wheeze From Toking While we was hoping That the trees of potent Didn't ease doors open To becoming Bobby Browns clone From being stoned to heating stones And breaking homes and selling phones To each his own The feelings gone Now he's known as thick as bone And left alone cause he's a drone To who he's blown the holder of the horrid stone (Hook) Me versus sleep Play hide and seek at night Bed bugs ever present But never chance to bite While y'all be dreaming I'm tweaking Seeing the growth of my demons Hoping to choke out these legions Hold up just steady your breathing
