TheRealAdrianR - Need Some Sleep lyrics

[Hook] (x2) I need some sleep It can't go on like this I tried counting sheep But there's one I always miss Everyone says I'm getting down too low Everyone says you just gotta let it go [Verse 1] I just got to let it go, I'm sick of counting sheep Man I was so focused on the numbers that I can't seem to sleep I've been losing it in the darkest nights of my life And lately I been gravitating towards the sharpest parts of the knife To slice my wrists until I can at least slumber in peace I had my dreams set so high how can I under achieve? I don't want to wake up one day thinking of what of could have of happened If I would have had a real job instead of chasing rapping Until I remember writing "My Town, My Times" on a napkin At Steak N Shake in high school when everyone else was laughing At me because I was white and had an African's pa**ion For this music I do it so fluid like water pa**ing through it Taking form of whatever container I'm placed in Whether it's the top of the game or back down to the basement That I started in, when I was writing songs for the art of it The pa**ion that I had in my heart before I departed it [Hook] [Verse 2] Another Friday night that I'm sitting here all alone In my zone nothing but a beat and a microphone To keep me company while I'm battling insomnia Talking to my demons telling 'em I'm on to ya You're just trying to creep in my brain and contaminate me with self-doubt I ain't talking about dinner when I'm taking myself out I just want away from it all, don't know if I can go further I close my eyes, hoping that I 'm waking up murdered So I can escape all my problems and pressures I forgot how live I guess I need a refresher Sick of depression and sick of the second guessing Myself any time I say something on a record Because I don't know if I even believe in me Trust no one because I whenever I do they end up leaving me In the dirt I can't describe the hurt with my words I only want to be asleep because being awake is even worst [Hook](x2)
