Sleep When I'm Gone

(álbum: We The Best Forever - 2011)

[Intro: DJ Khaled]
About to change the game
DJ KHALED!
WE THE BEST FOREVER
Cash Money, Young Money
I'm for real about this shit
Let's go

[Hook: Cee-Lo]
I'm counting my time, cause my time is my money
The sun goes down but I won't stop for nothing
Why close my eyes, I'd rather sleep when I'm gone
Sleep when I'm gone
Sleep when I'm gone (Gone)
I'm looking at the clock like yay yay
Naps to my treasure, yay ay
(Time's on the side, whoa)
Why close my eyes, I'd rather sleep when I'm gone
Sleep when I'm gone
Sleep when I'm gone

[Verse 1: Game]
They say sleep is the cousin of death, guess we related
Cause I'm the most slept on, and the most hated
Hated, hated by niggas with no hustle
Staring at me in the club like I won't bust you
In the face with the spades, life is a card game
And I'm playing spades, gambling with y'all change
Fucking basketball wives, while you at away games
Really fucking basketball wives, ain't gotta say names
Whole body tattered like a New York City freight train
Niggas get to barking, put a bullet in the great dane
Try me, end up like why me?
Team full of animals, like I coach the heat
Four floor mansion, close to the beach
6 car garage, that's how I'm supposed to eat
In Miami, rolling up kush on boat decks
Flagging down the waitress, waving my Rolex

[Hook:]
I'm counting my time, cause my time is my money
The sun goes down but I won't stop for nothing
Why close my eyes, I'd rather sleep when I'm gone
Sleep when I'm gone
Sleep when I'm gone (Gone)
I'm looking at the clock like yay yay
Naps to my treasure, yay ay
(Time's on the side, whoa)
Why close my eyes, I'd rather sleep when I'm gone
Sleep when I'm gone
Sleep when I'm gone

[Verse 2: Busta Rhymes]
Yo, I don't survive the test of time doing this shit so long
And only rest to rise again homie, I sleep when I'm gone
Look, a legend while I'm prime, and so current and they hate this
The streets classified me as another level of greatness
I don't fight for crowns at all, I let whack niggas bitch

And let 'em flip while they debate on who the king of this shit
Listen, see I don't waste time debating over those things
Because I'm God motherfucker, God create kings
Watch it, I'm hearing that a lot of niggas mad through the grapevine
The piano sounding beautiful and sad at the same time
The feeling of a funeral, so study you niggas
Khaled, provide the theme music while I bury you niggas
See now there's no escaping the God, you better find a get away
'Fore I start wiling like Haitians and Jamaicans when it's Labor Day
Khaled, every time you know we gotta make 'em love it
And realize every thing is hotter when we touch it

[Hook:]
I'm counting my time, cause my time is my money
The sun goes down but I won't stop for nothing
Why close my eyes, I'd rather sleep when I'm gone
Sleep when I'm gone
Sleep when I'm gone (Gone)
I'm looking at the clock like yay yay
Naps to my treasure, yay ay
(Time's on the side, whoa)
Why close my eyes, I'd rather sleep when I'm gone
Sleep when I'm gone
Sleep when I'm gone

[Verse 3: Game]
Ayo Khaled, let this shit breeze

It's poor lil' rich nigga, that's me
Smoke coming out the sunroof, blowing on hasheesh
Can't stop now, cause I'm in too deep
1.5 wide, every 2 weeks
Niggas wanna kill me, let the shells fall out
Life is short, then please, my kids gon' ball out
They kids gon' ball out, 20 years from now, pulling cars out
You gon' think cocaine getting hauled out
Ass getting chipped in, crystal meth getting dipped in
All cause you let a nigga slip in
Aftermath, '05, G-Unit, '06
Everything else is gymnastics, watch the dough flip
Sitting on the couch, smoking up memories
Pouring Jack Daniels, toast to my enemies
Fuck beef, nigga I ain't got the energy
Take the last shot to the dome, John Kennedy

[Hook:]
I'm counting my time, cause my time is my money
The sun goes down but I won't stop for nothing
Why close my eyes, I'd rather sleep when I'm gone
Sleep when I'm gone
Sleep when I'm gone (Gone)
I'm looking at the clock like yay yay
Naps to my treasure, yay ay
(Time's on the side, whoa)
Why close my eyes, I'd rather sleep when I'm gone
Sleep when I'm gone
Sleep when I'm gone
