Sleep

(Hook)

Nobody knows about the depths of all our troubles

So we keep on living our lives so clueless and so humble

I lay in bed and wonder why life is so deep

But it all gets better when we close our eyes to sleep

(V. 1)

I see all these rich people with their perfect little lives

Perfect kids with their dads, perfect husbands with their wives

No money issues, no worry about their next paycheck

No worries bout their jobs, no worry about a debt

If only you could see all the shit that i've been going through

Times may not be the worst, but the times are pretty rougtooh

I wanna give you a glimpse of the troubles i've had

I mean i've had a lot of good, but lately it's all been bad

Sometimes I wonder what my life is gonna be

If things are gonna work out or not, the future i can't see

I wish i could, cuz i would reduce every single risk

I'd avoid all confrontation, avoid negative shit

I'd get away from my thoughts, and all the demons trapped inside

My mind is stuck on drama, no improvement design

So i'll get out my notepad, and put on my headphones

And lean in to the mic, let me put you in my shoes, get in my zone

(Hook)

Nobody knows about the depths of all our troubles

So we keep on living our lives so clueless and so humble

I lay in bed and wonder why life is so deep

But it all gets better when we close our eyes to sleep

(V. 2)

I may not know the reason why we're living our lives

And I may not know the future, or any reason why

We can't get our shit together with our hatred and the bad

And i may not know the reason why I don't know my real dad

But still it shouldn't matter, make the best of what you know

And take what you have learned, and use the tools to grow

And use all of the lies, and the crime, to deduct

What exactly we have to do, to fix why we are fucked

Sometimes I sit and wonder why i do the things i do

Fuckin all these different girls, because i cant have you

Drinking til i pass out, smoking just to pass the time

Take some time to myself to organize my mind

I'm blind to all the happiness that we all can't have

Our futures unknown, full of the good and the bad

But i'm glad i'm alive, and I can see the reality

And i know about the demons that i gotta get outta me

(Hook)

Nobody knows about the depths of all our troubles

So we keep on living our lives so clueless and so humble

I lay in bed and wonder why life is so deep

But it all gets better when we close our eyes to sleep

(V. 3)

I never dropped out of high school, not raised to be a fool

But no matter how hard i tried, i could never be cool

You hear these other rappers droppin out when they was 12

And somehow they get record deals with no help

I went to all my classes almost every day

Never got a lot of dates, but i got my good grades

Focused on the more important things in my life

Instead of causing all the wrong, i was doing all the right

One day i want to say that i'm on top, the world is mine

Whether it's with my diploma, degree, or with my rhymes

I wanna make the difference that most other rappers can't

Cuz i'll take my life experiences, be the bigger man

Make the changes with my hands, counsel all the wrong

And hope for the best that it won't take too long

We loved and we lost, but the memories we keep

Maybe it all gets better when we close our eyes to sleep

(Hook)

Nobody knows about the depths of all our troubles

So we keep on living our lives so clueless and so humble

I lay in bed and wonder why life is so deep

But it all gets better when we close our eyes to sleep
