In My Sleep - Jon Connor, Chelsea Blare, TITO LOPEZ

Okay, so y’all wanna know what it’s like for niggas rhyming?

All they love is gone

But they force you to find a silver lining

And the playbook empty

Done ran through every possible option

So blue collar man, they think I’m crippin' Mississippi’s Compton

What the check ain’t went through?

How about the bread I lent you?

Got a few views on Youtube

Guess I ain’t got to pay rent too, huh?

Ever think you meant to do that one thing that you love to do?

So you take a chance, take the stage and the ground move up under you

And you drop

And you keep falling, keep falling feel like it’s never gonna stop

And it’s ironic

Cause you in this bottomless pit 'til you get to the top

And the cold sweats

Waking up still in the projects, no progress

This a dream or a nightmare?

I don’t know yet

Then I get that call from my lil bro he tells me I’m his hero

Just when I thought my life was screwed up like Texas no zero

Got a second wind and picked up the pieces

I’m a different species

Me and Connor: death before dishonor

Holla at me man

I lock myself up in my room at night and pray to God

They told me one day shit gonna change but I felt this way for so long

I lock myself up in my room at night

Hope He hear me crying in my room at night

I lock myself up in my room at night and pray to God

They told me one day shit gonna change but I felt this way for so long

I lock myself up in my room at night

Pray He hear me crying in my room at night

Ain’t nobody gonna give you props

'til the world jump on your nuts

It’s just that simple

By then you won’t give a fuck

All the nights you was by yourself

Couldn’t get nobody to pick up the phone

All the days you wanted to reach out

Ain’t nobody have arms that long

Had a dream I was back on the playground

And I ain’t have a care in the world

Haters won’t let me breathe

Like it ain’t enough air in the world

All the nights I spent on this writing shit

It ain’t fair my girl

She ain’t wanna let go, but I had to let go

If I couldn’t be there for my girl

I ain’t never by myself

Always get beside myself

I really don’t give a fuck

But I guess I never really apply myself

It’s just easier that way

Cause people come and people go

Only thing constant is change

Everything you see gonna go

I don’t want you to feel my pain

Feeling yours is hard enough

Find a reason to smile

Yeah I know the shit hard as fuck

Reminisce on the things you love

Give thanks for the things you have

Take a deep breath, look at where you at

Follow my voice, let me bring you back

Let me bring you back

I lock myself up in my room at night and pray to God

They told me one day shit gonna change but I felt this way for so long

I lock myself up in my room at night

Hope He hear me crying in my room at night

I lock myself up in my room at night and pray to God

They told me one day shit gonna change but I felt this way for so long

I lock myself up in my room at night

Pray He hear me crying in my room at night

It goes down easy

It goes down easy

It goes down easy

It goes down easy

I’m running I’m running I’ve been gone too long

I’m running I’m running I’ve been gone too long

It goes down easy

And you can hear me crying

It was days I couldn’t come outside

All those nights when I was on my own

Lord knows it ain’t easy actually

So I’m running

I’m running

I lock myself up in my room at night and pray to God

They told me one day shit gonna change but I felt this way for so long

I lock myself up in my room at night

Hope He hear me crying in my room at night

I lock myself up in my room at night and pray to God

They told me one day shit gonna change but I felt this way for so long

I lock myself up in my room at night

Pray He hear me crying in my room at night
