The Roots - Sleep lyrics

rate me

Feat. Aaron Livingston

[Verse 1: Aaron Livingston]

Like when autumn leaves fall

Down from the trees

There goes, my honey bee

I’ve lost a lot of sleep to dreams

And I do not miss them yet

I wouldn’t wish them on than worst of enemies

Let them burn, go from here

Like when autumn leaves

[Verse 2: Black Thought]

To catch a thief

Who stole the soul I prayed to keep

Insomniac

Bad dreams/Got me losing

Sleep

I’m dead tired

My mind playing tricks

Deceit

A face in the glass /Unable to admit defeat

All that I am all that I was is history

The past unraveled adding insult to this injury

I’m fighting the battle for the soul of the century

Destiny is everything that I pretend to be

Look, and what I did came back to me eventually

The music played on and…

Told me I was meant to be awake

It’s unresolved

Like everything I had at stake

Illegal activity controls

My black symphony

Orchestrated like it happened

Incidentally

Oh… there I go

From a man to memory

Damn,

I wonder if my fam will remember me.

[Verse 3: Aaron Livingston]

I’ve lost a lot of sleep to dreams

And I do not miss them yet

I wouldn’t wish them on the worst of enemies

Let them burn, go from here

Like when autumn leaves
