[00:00.00]Sleep Rules Everything Around Me - Wugazi
[00:00.95]I grew up on the crime side the New York Times side
[00:04.04]Staying alive was no jive
[00:05.84]Had second hands mom's bounced on old man
[00:09.24]So then we moved to Shaolin land
[00:11.53]A young youth yo rocking the gold tooth 'Lo goose
[00:15.06]Only way I begin to G' off was ** loot
[00:18.23]And let's start it like this son rolling with this one
[00:21.57]And that one pulling out gats for fun
[00:24.04]But it was just a dream for the teen who was a fiend
[00:27.61]Started smoking woolies at sixteen
[00:30.02]And running up in gates and doing hits for high stakes
[00:33.51]Making my way on fire escapes
[00:36.05]No question I would speed for cracks and w**d
[00:39.49]The combination made my eyes bleed
[00:41.96]No question I would flow off and try to get the dough off
[00:45.55]Sticking up white boys in ball courts
[00:47.89]My life got no better same damn 'Lo sweater
[00:51.55]Times is rough and tough like leather
[00:53.96]Figured out I went the wrong route
[00:55.99]So I got with a sick tight clique and went all out
[00:59.82]Catching keys from across seas
[01:01.76]Rolling in MPV's every week we made forty G's
[01:05.84]Yo brothas respect mine or anger the Tec-9
[01:09.05]Ch-POW Move from the gate now
[01:13.73]I'm so tired sheep are counting me
[01:18.35]No more struggle no more energy
[01:23.52]It's been 22 long hard years and still struggling
[01:26.11]Survival got me bugging but I'm alive on arrival
[01:29.81]I peep at the shape of the streets
[01:31.82]And stay awake to the ways of the world cause sh*t is deep
[01:34.89]A man with a dream with plans to make C R E A M
[01:37.59]Which failed; I went to jail at the age of 15
[01:40.53]A young buck selling *** and such who never had much
[01:43.93]Trying to get a clutch at what I could not touch
[01:46.57]The court played me short now I face incarceration
[01:49.79]Pacin' going up state's my destination
[01:52.74]Handcuffed in back of a bus forty of us
[01:55.74]Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough
[01:58.49]But as the world turns I learned life is Hell
[02:01.66]Living in the world no different from a cell
[02:04.66]Everyday I escape from Jakes giving chase selling base
[02:08.34]Smoking bones in the staircase
[02:10.51]Though I don't know why I chose to smoke sess
[02:13.26]I guess that's the time when I'm not depressed
[02:15.95]But I'm still depressed and I ask what's it worth
[02:19.49]Ready to give up so I seek the Old Earth
[02:22.12]Who explained working hard may help you maintain
[02:25.19]To learn to overcome the heartaches and pain
[02:27.92]We got stickup kids corrupt cops and crack rocks
[02:31.23]And stray shots all on the block that stays hot
[02:34.36]Leave it up to me while I be living proof
[02:36.94]To kick the truth to the young black youth
[02:39.98]But shorty's running wild smoking sess drinking beer
[02:43.14]And ain't trying to hear what I'm kicking in his ear
[02:45.96]Neglected for now but yo it gots to be accepted
[02:49.58]That what That life is hectic
[02:53.11]I'm so tired sheep are counting me
[02:58.91]No more struggle no more energy
[03:04.93]No patient you can write that down
[03:10.83]It's all too crazy and I'm not sticking around
