(Hook)
Holidays aren't Holidays
I stay wide awake
Wide awake, I be wide awake
I be wide awake
I don't play, ain't no time to play
They took patty may
A mile away and it ain't safe
So it's hard to say
It aint safe
Got me paranoid x2
Got me in a trance
They don't got no dreams or no life
But got time to play the man
(Verse)
Got no bags to pull up
Got no racks to pull up
They feel like passing for love
Don't got no palate for love
I talk that savage for you
Pull out the alley for you
I play the bandit for you
I'm sorry
I could use a couple Mandela's in my top hat
But all I got is this rabbit
If you want, you could have it
For your birthday
These days I've been losing sight
In the worst ways
Some days I could do a dike
For the worst things
Sunny days on barricades
I serenade, some things don't feel right
You know, right to say
And some things don't feel right
Right away
But all I want you to know is I'll be there for you
Same city, same block
I'll be there for you
With a different tune
But the same blues
More people still dying but not on the news
Not on the news
(Hook)
Holidays aren't Holidays
I stay wide awake
Wide awake, I be wide awake
I be wide awake
I don't play, ain't no time to play
They took patty may
A mile away and it ain't safe
So it's hard to say
It aint safe
Got me paranoid x2
Got me in a trance
They don't got no dreams or no life
But got time to play the man
