Sleep Tight

(album: People's Champ - 2022)

Sleep tight when you're clenching on my pillow
Used to dream of being famous in a Limo
Sitting where respected, passing Cigarillos
So, sleep tight when you're clenching on my pillow

Snooze away, you being awake don't affect me none, listen, son
I'm always out here masterminding, you the only one you sleeping on
For fuck's sake, I can't even take a break
Without someone from back in the day crying about bills that they gotta pay
Yeah, dog, I was broke, yeah, dog, there was nights
Stomach was growling, depressed head and thinking about my life
I painted houses and now my house is getting painted
It was a floor with a pallet, now a palace with rare cars in the driveway
And, no, I ain't sorry, but I used to be
Until I realized all the sacrifice I made to try to go down in history
No privacy, no friends, no truth, all lies
CashApp this, Venmo that, can I cop one of your rides? No

Sleep tight when you're clenching on my pillow
Used to dream of being famous in a Limo
Sitting where respected, passing Cigarillos
So, sleep tight when you're clenching on my pillow
So, sleep tight when you're clenching on my pillow
Midnight in the city with the heroes
I like the guy that I see in the mirror
So, sleep tight when you're clenching on my pillow

My hometown to me's dear, all the small talk I hear
Half the town thinks I'm weird, yep, for at least the past 5 years
Your brain don't deal with stress like mine, you do not know what it's like
For people to record you, with the light on a date in the booth beside ya
I deal with the same shit that made Kurt Cobain
Itch his motherfucking brain with a long 12 gauge
So, when you whisper, "He's crazy and I think he is kinda strange"
I'm thinking, "No shit, dummy, I get crowded while pumping gas"
I get asked a million questions when I'm out chilling with my woman
And people hand her their phone like she's a fucking photographer
And if you didn't get the selfie at least you getting the picture
I got the sauce in the country but I ain't you bitchs' elixir

Sleep tight when you're clenching on my pillow
Used to dream of being famous in a Limo
Sitting where respected, passing Cigarillos
So, sleep tight when you're clenching on my pillow
So, sleep tight when you're clenching on my pillow
Midnight in the city with the heroes
I like the guy that I see in the mirror
So, sleep tight when you're clenching on my pillow
