Lose Sleep - Rémi/Jordan Rakei

Written by：Justin Smith/Aderemi Kolawole/Jordan Rakei

Yes yes today shake shake hey hey

Come on

Yeah yeah come on

I'm just here to push limits

Sh*t scared of heights

But I stay on top of the game

Just to say I did it

Show young black kids that you can live it

Free your mind with it be proud

Of your pigment

I wasn't for a while

Too many times vilified for being

A shade different

Started hating myself and all dark skin

Playing myself charlie sheen two and a half men

Remember after school train station

Busta break ya neck blasting from ipod mini

Thankful class finished

So I could go and play majora's mask with my little brother

When cops come up and start asking me

Where you from what you up to oh from moorabbin

That's half an hour from here not from 'round here

Boy what you selling where's your product

I hadn't even touched drugs at this point except maybe a joint

But my skin fitted the description

So oink oink had to be deployed

Next day at school told my friends

The facts of how they treated the boy

They said I'm being crazy

'Cause to them black voice is white noise

That's the world that we're living in

We seem to forget oh ommm oh mmm

The dark days of history yeah

And time will manifest

The endless possibility yeah

Open your eyes to see

The world is darker than it seems

So we dreaming on

Dreaming on enough with the crazy crazy talk

Dave chappelle taught me

The worst thing to call someone is crazy

Dismissing all the pain that plagues them in one word

Just to avoid confrontation

With yourself

We prefer to sit on a chesterfield lounge

While microwaving

A meal by mccain and

Watching australian idol contestant failing

While the house that we're in is in flames

All because it's the routine I dunno know about that man

So when they say too deep

I say but it's a reality you're too deep

'Cause I'm just using eyes ears

And news feeds to get up to speed

Sh*t only those that don't read between the lines abuse these

Therefore I don't lose sleep

'Cause I'm well aware that's the world that we're living in

We seem to forget om ah om ah

The dark days of history yeah

And time will manifest and time will manifest

The endless possibility he endless possibility

Open your eyes to see om ah om

The world is darker than it seems

So we dreaming on

Dreaming on enough with the crazy crazy talk

Open your eyes

Open your eyes

Open your eyes

Open your eyes
