Cadet X - Starin' at the Ceilin' (feat. Kmodo & Ra.) Lyrics

Aye I swear I cant sleep no more
Every night I hear stress knocking on my front door
I'll show you what I see when my eyes close
The shit that I'm feeling
Another hour passed just starin' at the ceilin'
I swear I cant sleep no more
Every night I hear stress knocking on my front door
I'll show you what I see when my eyes close
The shit that I'm feeling
Another hour passed just starin' at the ceilin'

Closed eyes don't bring no respite
Cause when the lights turned off is when my mind starts to fight
A string of thoughts I couldn't catch if I tried it
Turning in my bed aint no way I could hide it
My girl wakes up, my eyes aint shut still
Lie here frustrated at thoughts that I must kill
And why do I only stress when I try sleep?
Maybe when I lie still then it finds me
I can't erase it, my monologue raisin until it speaks over the peace that I'm chasin'
I need to smoke but then maybe thats the issue
Sit here my pen stains pages I flick through
Each thought quickly changes to the next one
Split second images its hard just to guess one
Stress runs, watch it come as a guest
It leaves me longing for the cousin of death
Cause its true that

I swear I cant sleep no more
Every night I hear stress knocking on my front door
I'll show you what I see when my eyes close
The shit that I'm feeling
Another hour passed just starin' at the ceilin'
I swear I cant sleep no more
Every night I hear stress knocking on my front door
I'll show you what I see when my eyes close
The shit that I'm feeling
Another hour passed just starin' at the ceilin'

This illusion of time can have you losing yourself
Some days, I don't know what the f*ck to do with myself
Should I be moving with stealth, pursuing my wealth
Honestly I been cruising through hell if you couldn't tell
I went one outs with my ego
A battle to the death I'm left chasing where my dreams go
No time to sleep so I roll doja
Try to rest but roll over
Waking up in cold sweats giving death the cold shoulder
Man I swear I can't sleep no more
Every day I wanna hang up the boots like a phone call
But I know my own thoughts tend to be the ones that leave the most harm
When the roads dark the keys to play it out like Mozart
So I
Wait it out cause patience is a virtue
I figure out my way around and take it as I learn through this game called life
Get your coin and try survive
In this race against the clock don't rest its time to grind

Yeah thats why I cant sleep no more
Every night I hear stress knocking at my front door
I'll show you what I see when my eyes close
The shit that I'm feeling
Another hour passed just starin' at the ceilin'
I swear I cant sleep no more
Every night I hear stress knocking at my front door
I'll show you what I see when my eyes close
The shit that I'm feeling
Another hour passed just starin' at the ceilin'

Straight up
What you gonna do with yourself?
Wake up
You're looking like you're losin' yourself
You gotta prove to yourself that you could make it out your cell know
Your mind could be a prison live your life get off your cellphone

Lost cause
Want more but stuck knocking at your front door
For one more night that is long gone
Your oblong head telling me I've done wrong
Nah you f*cked it now the loves gone
Lust turns to dust and ash
I watched it burn and crash
You just concerned with cash and the image of the self
My intrinsic instinct is in sync
Linked with the drink sinked on the brink
Like I'm on the verge of my mind
I'm tryna figure out all the words that I write
You comin' round now we be dispersing the vibes
Let me feel it like it is the purpose I write
I'm merging these minds out the dark room
Sittin' smokin' large doobs
Chilling watching cartoons
Hoping that we pass you but hope was never part of the strategy
And you been living in a f*cked up kind of fallacy
Jealousy will keep you in the same spot stagnant
Can't make moves without breaking all these habits
Still remain attractive just call me a magnet
I wake up every morning after floating through the rapids
Until its all captured

I swear I cant sleep no more
Every night I hear stress knocking on my front door
I'll show you what I see when my eyes close
The shit that I'm feeling
Another hour passed just starin' at the ceilin'
I swear I cant sleep no more
Every night I hear stress knocking on my front door
I'll show you what I see when my eyes close
The shit that I'm feeling
Another hour passed just starin' at the ceilin'

Straight up
What you gonna do with yourself?
Wake up
You're looking like you're losing yourself
You gotta prove to yourself that you could make it out your cell know
Your mind could be a prison live your life get off your cellphone
