Blackalicious - Sleep Lyrics
(Sleep)[chorus]The hazy days go to nights returning on and onThe eye in the sky that don't lie be watching all y'allThe troublesome time filled anxieties just keep crawling onAnd a dream world line up in your mind just keep on calling y'allThe shining lights of stages after the show are fadedThe crowd is gone away, and now the dawning dayGives way to creatures lurking, can hear the crickets chirpingOnly the owls can see for this is when they start their preyThe homeless ask for quarters for shelter and some waterSay "sorry not today" and turn and walk awayThe busy street is empty whistling winds are blowing gentlyListening intently to all of the things they have to sayA day of work completed a night of rest is neededAlmost done read a book but eyelids to heavy to read itThe fireplace is kindling, snug with your queen and buildingAbout the victories tomorrow's gonna bring your way[chorus](I hope that what I have written will be of some assistance)Gazing outside the window the sunny skies dwindleAnd now it's full of stars a hurling comet soarsWhile during the body slumber the soul begins to wanderTo dream dimensions see the inner conscious doesn't pauseKeeps moving where it's bound to say now I lay me down toAfter that stretch and yawn energy left and goneThe sandman's on your shoulder whispering in your ear he told youLet all your problems go tonight I'm rapping hear my songA day of work completed a night of rest is neededAlmost done read a book but eyelids to heavy to read itThe fireplace is kindling snug with your queen and buildingAbout the victories tomorrow's gonna bring your way[chorus x2]-aca
