Days & Nights

Текст песни Devlin - Days & Nights

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
