No one's going to take me alive Time has come to make things right You and I must fight for our rights You and I must fight to survive Come ride with me Through the veins of history I'll show you a God Falls asleep on the job And how can we win,

Somebody somewhere turns out the light Somebody all alone faces the night You got to be strong when you're out on your own 'Cause sooner or later we all sleep alone Nobody nowhere holds the key to your heart When love's a possession it'll tear you apart

Daydreaming, daydreaming all the time Daydreaming, daydreaming into the night And I'm alright Living in a city of sleepless people Who all know the limits and won’t go too far outside the lines 'Cause they're out of their minds I wanna get out and build

The men don't know, but the little girls understand I'm a back door man C'mon, yeah, yeah, c'mon, yeah I am a, yeah, I'm a back door man Hey, all you people that tryin' to sleep I'm out to make it with my midnight dream, yeah 'Cause I'm a back door man

I know you're there Can you be my nightingale? Sing me to sleep Say you'll be my nightingale I need a voice to echo I need a light to take me home I never see the forest for the trees I could really use your melody Baby I'm a little blind

Take my hand We're off to never-never land Exit, light Enter, night Sleep with one eye open Gripping your pillow tight Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep If I die before I wake

Sleepin' at the top, nightmares of the bottom Everybody wanna be fly til you swat 'em But who am I to talk? I ain't shittin' roses We in the same picture but we all got different poses Now I'm looking in my rear view, I see the world in it I try to slow

Keep a place for me, for me It's nothing, it's nothing Know you gotta leave, leave, leave Take down some summer time Give up, just tonight, night, night Know you got someone comin' You're spitting game, oh you got it I'll sleep between y'all, it's nothing

You're still there for me, wherever there might be And if an ocean lies between us I'll send a message across the sea That you can sleep tonight, knowing it's alright I believe that you were listening to my song You've been here all along You're with me

We are, we are, we are, we are I’m just tryna live my life I’m just tryna do what’s right I’m just tryna gain insight I’m not tryna sleep all through the day and get up at night Can somebody I’ma keep rapping about all of this shit that don’t matter and
