Drew XL - How Can I Sleep Lyrics

Another sleepless night in my momma house staring at the ceiling
Another night with a heavy heart I cant describe what I'm feeling
Oulady laid up in the next room I know she can't sleep either
Almost 60 caring for a nigga she must need a breather
She told me she worries about me and prays that I get a job
I pray for the same thing cause I'm tired of feeling like I'm a slob
My bedsheets smell like disappointment and unemployment
I cannot look in a mirror don't wanna face dissapoint
Approaching 30 at the speed of light I'm still stuck in the dark
Imposssible to find a job in the city of stars it's all dark
Regret heavy on my heart I wish I tried this at 20
I picked the safer route a 9-5 but it turned out dirty
It's kinda funny that I got none to show at almost 30
I cannot see whats next in my life man my vision been blurry
I lost my faith in God regained and I lost it again
But now we good I cannot blame Him it's just part of the game
How can I sleep
How can I sleep
I let go of the woman I love cause I felt I kept her stuck
Couldn't afford to be in love my nigga that shit Sucked
She would've done anything for me, couldn't do none for her
Couldn't do none for myself honestly belonged in a hearse
It's crazy when your plan B is another nigga's plan A
If I sell a couple raps I'll probably get a place to stay
Trust me when I tell you this is not me chasing some dream
This here my last shot at not starting a f*cking pyramid scheme
This is me trying not to trick pensioners out their SASSA money
This is me trying not to sell nyaope just to fill my tummy
When I got a pen that's more lethal than the American army
I know I'm safe in the game none of these boys can harm me
Some of my hommies probably shocked that I can rap like this
My other hommies already know that I can never miss
I may be late but this here my only ticket out the hood
So imma stay up all night for this shit make it sound good
How can I sleep (yo)
How can I sleep
