Days & Nights
Devlin

I've been up for nights and days

And my eyes remain wide awake

Because more than my life's at steak


So I ain't got time for blinkin'

All the time I'm thinkin'

If this ain't hell it's one fiery place

Metallic projectiles fly in ya face

And leave you like human garbage lyin' in drains


I've gotta keep my eyeballs open

The only thing that'll minus the pain like ibuprofen is

9milli and K on the case

I don't feel in control like pilots in planes

I'm trapped in this winding maze

I'm an insomniac, I'm insane


I've been up for days and nights

Through this crazy life

But I'll sleep when I'm dead

Until they pay me right

My eyes are open wide

But I'll sleep when I'm dead


When everything on my to do list is ticked off

Then maybe I can drift off

Until then I'm wide awake, lyin' in a daze

My eyeballs gaze


Hypnotized by the sound of my wrist watch

Clickin' tick tock

I'm in charge of the underground just like Brick Top

So I can't sleep I'd be wrong if I did stop


If I'm focused on writing a verse

You couldn't put me to sleep

With a thousand and nine

Bottles of night nurse


It's likely I'll put ya lights out first

So I'll sleep when I'm restin' in peace

Until then I've gotta bless these beats

Till I conquer the streets

If I'm conscious, I can't get lost in a dream


I've been up for days and nights


Through this crazy life

But I'll sleep when I'm dead

Until they pay me right

My eyes are open wide

But I'll sleep when I'm dead


If you're drowsy, remain in a slumber

My metaphors flow over ya head

Like a button less jumper

I can't sleep till I'm in the sky

Like lightning and thunder


Sometimes at night I wonder

Is pursuein' this dream a blunder

Or the best thing that I ever did

I can't sleep or slip till I'm 6 feet under


Hence the song I'll sleep when I'm dead

You might only need money to survive

But my life relies on a needle instead

I wanna eat steak meals everyday


I'm sick and tired of livin' on a diet

Of beans and bread

So believe what I said

I'll sleep when I'm where

I'll sleep when I'm what

I'll sleep when I'm dead


I've been up for days and nights

Through this crazy life

But I'll sleep when I'm dead

Until they pay me right

My eyes are open wide

But I'll sleep when I'm dead


I've been up for days and nights

Through this crazy life

But I'll sleep when I'm dead

Until they pay me right

My eyes are open wide

But I'll sleep when I'm dead
