Lyrics No Sleep Tonight (Track By Track Commentary) - Kirk Franklin

So, this last record is called, "No Sleep Tonight"

Now, I called it that for a gospel song, I think that's really dope
Because, it's not going where you think it's going
But the song is basically saying that if we don't get love right
If we don't get our relationships right
If we don't get racism right
If we don't get this religious peace killed
That we're not gonna sleep tonight

That the bombs will keep us up
The rioting will keep us up
The protesting will keep us up
The killing will keep us up
And nobody will be able to rest good at night, until we get God right
So, until then, there will be no sleep tonight

It's your boy Kirk Franklin
Thank you for this opportunity
I hope you enjoy this body of work, and, uh, join me, as we lose our religion
