NO SLEEP [Intro] Three in the morning... Everybody sleeping. I'm still working. Fuck sleep. [Hook] No sleep, I been up for days, Whole team eating, I don't need no praise, Got a dream in my head and a debt to erase, If I stop for a second, I'ma fall out of place. No sleep, I can't turn it off, Too much on my mind, got me burning the clock, They was counting me out, now I'm counting it up, I ain't waiting on luck, I'ma make it or bust. [Verse 1] I been wide-eyed, wired, tired but inspired, Mind on fire, every line getting tighter, I require desire, never die from the pressure, If the beat gets quiet, I'ma write through the silence. Everybody wants the outcome, nobody wants the process, Everybody loves the shine, nobody saw the darkness, I was building while they laughed, now I'm building something monstrous, Every hour that I lost got converted into progress. I got bills, I got goals, I got people depending, Got a daughter that reminds me exactly why I'm relentless, I don't wanna tell her "maybe" when she asks if I can get it, So I turn every "can't" into something I can finish. No shortcuts, no handouts, No fake love, no standouts, If they don't believe, let 'em watch now, I'ma make 'em eat every doubt now. [Pre-Hook] I can't sleep... I got too much to prove. I can't stop... I got too much to lose. [Hook] No sleep, I been up for days, Whole team eating, I don't need no praise, Got a dream in my head and a debt to erase, If I stop for a second, I'ma fall out of place. No sleep, I can't turn it off, Too much on my mind, got me burning the clock, They was counting me out, now I'm counting it up, I ain't waiting on luck, I'ma make it or bust. [Verse 2] I hear every little doubt like it's sitting in the room, Every "you won't make it" became fuel for the fumes, Every door that got slammed made me build something new, Now I'm kicking through the walls they expected me to lose. I'm obsessive with the craft, I dissect every phrase, Put a syllable in place, then I rearrange the cadence, If the rhyme isn't perfect, I'ma rewrite the placement, I don't make songs, I make statements. I can hear the kick knocking while I'm laying in bed, Hear a snare in my skull when I'm clearing my head, Got a hook in my phone and a verse in my notes, And a hundred different thoughts fighting for my throat. That's why... No sleep. No breaks. No pause. No fear. If I want it, I'ma chase it till the finish line appears. [Beat Switch] Fuck a bedtime. I'm wide awake. Turn the lights off. I don't need 'em. [Verse 3] I came too far to let exhaustion stop me, Too much fire in the chest to let anybody box me, They can call me obsessed, they can call me cocky, I'd rather die trying than spend my life thinking "probably." I don't need tomorrow to give me permission, I need one opportunity and a microphone in it, I'll turn every minute into lyrical ammunition, Then turn every limitation into another fucking mission. I ain't chasing fame just to say that I made it, I want freedom for my family, I want something that's sacred, Want my little girl looking at me knowing her daddy created A life that he dreamed about when nobody believed him. So if you see me awake at four in the morning... I'm not crazy. I'm committed. If the world goes to sleep... That's when I get dangerous. [Final Hook] No sleep, I been up for days, Whole life changed, but the hunger's the same, Got a dream in my head with my name on the frame, And I'm willing to bleed just to make it my way. No sleep, I can't turn it off, Too much on my mind, got me burning the clock, They was counting me out, now I'm counting it up, I ain't waiting on luck... I'ma make it or bust. [Outro] 4:17 AM. Still working. Still writing. Still building. No sleep.
