Blackalicious - Sleep lyrics

rate me

(Sleep)

The hazy days go to nights returning on and on

The eye in the sky that don't lie be watching all y'all

The troublesome time filled anxieties just keep crawling on

And a dream world line up in your mind just keep on calling y'all

The shining lights of stages after the show are faded

The crowd is gone away, and now the dawning day

Gives way to creatures lurking, can hear the crickets chirping

Only the owls can see for this is when they start their prey

The homeless ask for quarters for shelter and some water

Say "sorry not today" and turn and walk away

The busy street is empty whistling winds are blowing gently

Listening intently to all of the things they have to say

A day of work completed a night of rest is needed

Almost done read a book but eyelids to heavy to read it

The fireplace is kindling, snug with your queen and building

About the victories tomorrow's gonna bring your way

(I hope that what I have written will be of some assistance)

Gazing outside the window the sunny skies dwindle

And now it's full of stars a hurling comet soars

While during the body slumber the soul begins to wander

To dream dimensions see the inner conscious doesn't pause

Keeps moving where it's bound to say now I lay me down to

After that stretch and yawn energy left and gone

The sandman's on your shoulder whispering in your ear he told you

Let all your problems go tonight I'm rapping hear my song

A day of work completed a night of rest is needed

Almost done read a book but eyelids to heavy to read it

The fireplace is kindling snug with your queen and building

About the victories tomorrow's gonna bring your way

(Sleep)
