Sleep When I Die

SLEEP WHEN I DIE
Verse 1
L, I, S, A… R,e,n,e e
I’m not gonna rest until my grave, so every breath that I take,
Is focused on the trademark that I’m destined to make;

And I don’t settle for anything that’s less than being great,
Takin’ advantage of the talents I was blessed with from the gate;

Yeah 50 I can relate….(I can relate) to Get Rich or Die Tryin’, that’s why I’m grindin’ to determine my fate;

My talent’s real it ain’t fake….(this aint a game/I aint playing) just take a look at my face, there’s no debate that I’m earning my place;

I’mma make it in this game and that’s regardless of age,
My weight or my skin color I’ll be rockin’ the stage…; (1)

I’ve been held down too long now I’m unlockin’ the cage,
‘cause I deserve to be here, that’s why I’m bottled with rage;

But I’mma use it (p)ositively, and put my time and energy in, to the God given gifts that live within me;

I know that I’m a star, I don’t have to pretend to be one, but you do that’s why you look at me with envy; unh

I’m on the grind every minute, every second, every hour (is used) to (f)urther my progression;

I used my power to refuse all of yall execs,
That only wanted to help, in return for sex;

But eh eh, that ain’t gone happen, I have too much self respect,
I hold myself in high regard my standards are held in check;

I have too much intellect, my soul has too much pride,
So no I can’t sleep with you, ‘cause I ain’t gonna sleep ‘til I die!;

Verse 2

While you’re sittin’ there eatin’ Bon Bons watching TV,
I’m out here grindin’, making sure the world can see me;

Whether it’s, dancing on stage, or out flippin’ CD’s,
You hating on my efforts but deep down you wanna be me;

But th-th-that’s ok, ‘cause I-I-I’mma make it,
You can tr-try to hold me, but I-I-I’mma break it;

My talent, is so powerful that, you can’t mistake it,
The world is in the palm of my hands so I’mma take it;

You need to believe it, visualize it and make it happen,
Cut out the yippin’ and yappin’ and start taking action;

I’m not intentionally bashin’ I’m just displaying passion,
‘cause this is my time to shine so I’mma take advantage;

Every once in a while, I like to go to the club,
Tear the dance floor up and steady cut up a rug;

But when I go to the club, I ain’t flirtin’,
I’m hustlin’, talkin’, grindin’, and networkin’;

My existence has a purpose, by any means necessary,
I will not lose my persistence is legendary;

That’s why I’m going to school and volunteering at the hospital,
To show you that anything is possible; ugh

And I still maintain, my 9 to 5,
Take everything in stride keeping my eyes on the prize;

I surround myself with eagles, ‘cause chickens can’t fly,
So no I won’t sleep, but I will go to sleep when I die;

4x Sleep, sleep, sleep, when I die

4x Sleep, sleep , sleep, sleep sleep when I die
