lyrics

no sleep, count sheep, been counting all week
rap in the car because I get no peace
slap together bars like I’m up to be a lawyer (jeez)
study hard, get a house, just a room with a boiler (cheap)

steady count, I’m down to the wire,
finders fees for these arsonist fires
If I had a dream and you had a lighter,
we’d be the team that’d set those fires

(you’re fired)

so sit in the dark as i sit in this car
with a bitch outside, I don’t like it’s bark
don’t like these bars, but i rap ‘em the same
as dollars add up from my pockets of change

from scholars at large to ekin and arc'
I’m coming apart, asleep in the park
Eating the gar-bage, diving in like I’m marvin starving
Repeat and restarting

See these people round me,
Even when I'm drowning
Deep inside
There's just something bout these
Beats, beats, beats
I won't let die

I sleep, but when I dream it’s all the same
took my name, plainspoke, and made it all about the plain
then I crashed it, coming up for air, bear and grin the basket
fasting but can’t crack the habit, listen to my body and it’s saying I’m addict

let’s add it, this disbelief / when I believe my teeth are cracking
If it’s disease / I’m relieved / otherwise I’ll leave here packing for relief
turned a comic when you feeling like the leaf
Asked if I could frolic, made a promise I’d believe

you disagree, but underneath you wonder if I see
put into a slumber, sleeping beauty or would be
it's acting, reacting to the fact of the degree
that I’m slacking, you laughing like I’m dragging my feet

but I feed, supersede the rhymes,
get a bead of sweat when I read at times
when I be in bed, with the deed in my head, we digress can i plead for death

See these people round me,
Even when I'm drowning
Deep inside
There's just something bout these
Beats, beats, beats
I won't let die
