The Triads - Insomniac lyrics

[Intro: Twin Poets- Dreams are Illegal in the Ghetto] I heard that dreams are illegal in the ghetto (Insomniac) Don't you know that dreams are illegal? (Insomniac) I heard that dreams are illegal (Insomniac) But I...Am...Dreaming [Verse 1: James] This is not reality I mean it is but it's hard facing whats inside of me (yup) Take a look at my mind, you'll find just space and clarity All white mother f**er with a plan to be I'm in a daze, from all the weed Insomniatic, I'm half asleep I wake and bake, ease the stress Never sleep, so f** the rest I'm turnt to the full don't turn me down With some brews and my dudes and a few brunettes Now close your eyes and try to imagine What would life be like if I were to vanish Straight off the planet, tell me could you manage Without me bet you can hardly stand it Wait stop I'm just playin' man On the playground playin' with the sandman Like a kid raised right I'm with my fam That's all I need I dont give a damn And we goin ham, till 4 a.m. we goin in Hand on the bible my words the truth Won't sleep 'till we've all see the promise land [Hook 1: James & Deen] Insomniac, Insomniac, Insomniac, Insomniac Day dreams are one big delusion f** rest I got restless movement And all I need is my music muse And Ima do things I never dreamed I could So my eyes closed (Insomniac) But I'm wide awake (Insomniac) I pray the lord (Insomniac) My soul to take (Insomniac) Still I lay awake cursed by my demons Take my life and then hope I'm dreamin' But my heart still beats, Somebody help me to get some sleep Cause I'm an Insomniac [Verse 2: Deen] When I came through it was open arms and laughin' But now I hear em all they're backbiting behind me You live and learn, and deal with how the tables turn I bow my head and pray, the bridges we build don't ever burn I'm young and blessed but still stressin bout academics Money will come my biggest fear is being average I know what matters, I've mastered manners My dreams are big and my dress is dapper Been given a lot, so of course I'm tested Tryna be the best, it's like a race to the top Uh, listen love, I'm young and suave call me Othello These white girls crave a n***a like nutella, oh And they mad, oh well I guess it's my bad Keep catching Z's while I'm chasing dreams And you'll never know what I have Cause I'm a [Hook 2: James] Insomniac, Insomniac, Insomniac, Insomniac Daydreamin' all days of the weekend No sleepin' no one else can see it I'm a Insomniac, Insomniac, Insomniac, Insomniac Somebody wake me up. I must be dreamin' From all this weed, somebody help me to get some sleep Cause I'm an Insomniac [Verse 3: Shaheen] Every night, it gets harder to sleep And relationships, they're hard to keep But it's not just girls it's fam and friends And all of them say I'm in too deep So I keep my head and I stay afloat No rearview when I hit the road So ro-round we go like merry go When the world so low gotta keep the hope Got a lot to say, don't know how to say it Girls these days really test my patience Now she on her knees but nah she ain't prayin' And those games you play really got me waitin' For you to change, it's all the same What's the cost if I'm going insane Now I'm the madman livin' with the sandman Countin' out each and every grain (ahh) Rest my head and I'm flooded by my demons Tell me what's the reason I'm seein' what I'm seein' I toss then I turn and I freeze while I burn All cause I can't quite shake this feelin' Nah Shaheen man, just relax Ease ya mind, you need some of that Is it a dream or nightmare I'm fallin' right back Now I'm back in the sheets insomniac
