lyrics

(Hook)
Homie I can’t sleep my people they need me
Homie I can’t sleep my people they need me

Verse 1 (Nuri):

I know its bout a dollar I know the news lyin/
I know they like to talk about the killin and the dyin/
They quick to talk about how the whole earth fryin/
But hide the fact that they be workin wit the cats behind it/
I know I aint buggin I know some niggas lyin/
Simply cuz they words and they moves aint alignin/
Get my mind in alignment and start applyin science/
Then I spit it wit pride like an alliance of lions/
Huh?! they tryna play me watch how I remind em/
They gonna have to rewind it to find where my mind went/
A man is defined by the ways that his time spent/
And 99% of the time I be rhymin/
Refinin shit wit the style that I was designed wit/
Provide you wit them vitamins Nuri got them nutrients/
Declinin on reclinin cuz a youngin tryna get it/
Dut best believe even wit a please they aint tryna give it/

Best believe even wit a please they aint tryna hear it

(Hook)
Homie I can’t sleep my people they need me
Homie I can’t sleep my people they need me

Verse 2 (Nuri)
I’m simply giving them that heat/
getting em hyphy every time I speak/
given them IV its life inside these/
lines designed as a lifeline to my peeps/
in these streets cuz times is unique/
they tryne keep us blind to things,
we really need to see because they weak/
but when you see me/
Im perfectin techniques each day of the week/
cuz a bruva trine eat each day of the week/
stay fresh to death deceased to the crease/
I resurrected my presence on the scenery/
yes I’m back in the flesh watch me breathe 16s/
leisurely, have it seem like I’m eatin for free/
funny tho they step to the flow they paying the fee/
funny hoes on they tippy toes, they stay on the creep/
afraid of what we gone see if they just BE!/

I'ma just BE ME and let it be what it be

(Hook)
Homie I can’t sleep my people they need me
Homie I can’t sleep my people they need me
