Blackalicious Sleep
(Sleep)
(chorus)
The hazy days go to nights returning on and on
The eye in the sky that don't lie be watching all y'all
The troublesome time filled anxieties just keep
crawling on
And a dream world line up in your mind just keep on
calling y'all
The shining lights of stages after the show are faded
The crowd is gone away, and now the dawning day
Gives ways to creatures lurking, can hear the crickets
chirping
Only the owls can see for this is when they start their
prey
The homeless ask for quarters for shelter and some
water
Say "sorry not today" and turn and walk away
The busy street is empty whistling winds are blowing
gently
Listening intently to all of the things they have to
say
A day of work completed, a night of rest is needed
Almost done with a book but eyelids too heavy to read
it
The fireplace is kindling, snug with your queen and
building
About the victories tomorrow's gonna bring your way
(chorus)
(I hope that what I have written will be of some
assistance)
Gazing outside the window the sunny skies dwindle
And now it's full of stars a hurling comet soars
While during the body's slumber the soul begins to
wander
To dream dimensions see the inner conscious doesn't
pause
Keeps moving where it's bound to say now I lay me down
to
After that stretch and yawn energy left and gone
The sandman's on your shoulder whispering in your ear
he told you
Let all your problems go tonight I'm rapping hear my
song
A day of work completed a night of rest is needed
Almost done with a book but eyelids too heavy to read
it
The fireplace is kindling, snug with your queen and
building
About the victories tomorrow's gonna bring your way
(chorus x2)
(Sleep)
