[intro]
wrote this while the city was asleep
youngsta
i said wrote this while the city was asleep
[verse 1]
as i travel down this endless road
allah protect my soul
cause all that glitters on n~ggas necklaces isn’t gold
a rose from a concrete grows and then it blossoms
my stepmother lost it when my father was in his coffin
before he died he told us to take care of em
me and my brother stop by whenever we in the area
times is getting scarier it’s harder to live
humans don’t pardon each other so i hope that god will forgive
for all my sins, but some of what i did is unforgivable
it’s pitiful just being alive is a miracle
the love for what i do is unconditional it’s visible
you hear it in my digital, watch it in my interviews
i lost a lot but gotta be grateful what i didn’t lose
tryna feed the poor with little money or bitter fool
the goverment ain’t feeding them, f~ck being political
so think about when you die how the world is gonna remember you
[chorus]
i wrote this while the city was asleep
i wrote this while you was catching them z’s
i wrote this while the city was asleep
i wrote this while you was catching them z’s
i tell em sleep is for the rich, sleep is for the rich
i tell em sleep is for the rich, sleep is for the rich
[verse 2]
she tell me that she love me
so why can’t i return it
she’ll do anything for me but i don’t deserve it
i told her move on but she just isn’t determined
she thinks that if she stays my mind is gonna change
i have trouble with devotion i bottle my emotion
i don’t know if they love me or if they got hidden motives
cause i don’t trust em easily people have been deceiving me
the past is keeping me from where my future should be leading me
increasingly i notice the chaos
mom was laid off, we had to play hard, cause we had bills to pay off
but i always had clean clothes, my mother was my hero
yet she was afraid every time i used to leave home
she still is, cause she know i studied criminology
trouble is like twitter cause that sh~t just seem to follow me
skarrel on the pavement i hope it doesn’t swallow me
walking down this endless road come and take this trap with me
[chorus]
i wrote this while the city was asleep
i wrote this while you was catching them z’s
i wrote this while the city was asleep
i wrote this while you was catching them z’s
i tell em sleep is for the rich, sleep is for the rich
i tell em sleep is for the rich, sleep is for the rich
[verse 3]
the brasse i grew up with all became gangsters
abusing the substance, tattoos and numbers
i had to leave they were tryna pull me under water
i move across the tracks and now they call me ‘n verlater
i’m like no bra, there’s a lot you didn’t even know bra
i feel like i’m spending my last days with my oupa
we tryna brush it off but it’s still different
he told my mother soon he’s gonna need his will written
and i took long to write this
the vices of life is keeping me at the crisis
but i’m making sacrifices
everyday is a fight and i’m just trying to win
if i don’t go for the title i won’t be known as the king
that’s why i go to the gym i train and float in the ring
i’m yaati ali you get too close and i sting
either i advance or take a loss wasting the chance
in the yard 3am as i gaze at the stars and yes i…
[chorus]
i wrote this while the city was asleep
i wrote this while you was catching them z’s
i wrote this while the city was asleep
i wrote this while you was catching them z’s
i tell em sleep is for the rich, sleep is for the rich
i tell em sleep is for the rich, sleep is for the rich
