don't sleep

You know one of these days
You're gonna look back and realize that I was the real deal
Or maybe you realize already and that's why you're so mad
But you're mad at everybody but yourself
And that's always been your problem

Yo

It's all good
Don't sleep when you know you got it good, uh
I was tryna take you out da hood, put you on to better things I don't think you understood just how bad you got it good
Don't sleep when you know you got it good
Don't sleep when you know you got it good
Don't sleep baby girl don't sleep, don't sleep
Coming across somebody else like me won't be easy
I'm in a nightmare I swear this could've been a dream
But you're sleeping
Don't sleep when you know it good
Don't sleep when you know you got it good
Don't sleep baby girl, don't sleep

Listen
While you were sleeping
I was thinking I deserve better
Honestly it's kinda nerve wrecking when your marriage turn into the worst ever
Can't believe I'm drafting up divorce letters
Got me feeling like I'm watching SportsCenter
All them red flags that I ignored, I cannot say that I didn't notice
Since I got a big forehead, you'd think I would think more
The things that I been going through, surprised I don't drink more
It's sad I'm not grinning anymore
But I'm glad I'm not in it anymore
Was a really bad decision tryna save you, but I did it anyhow
(What a guy)
Superman saving the day on his way to Planet Earth
When I put the weight of your world on my back girl I picked a planet up
(Word)
Back in the day I thought that was the same as manning up
What can I say girl?
We did our thing for the cameras
Didn't we look like a beautiful couple?
Long distance relationship, beautiful struggle
Say what you want but my actions were not indicative of somebody who didn't love you
It's true
Did everything that a husband should do
At the end of the day it meant nothing to you
But I bet that you're having discussions about me that's making me look real bad
But it's all good

All good

Don't sleep when you know you got it good, uh
I was tryna take you out da hood, put you on to better things I don't think you understood just how bad you got it good
Don't sleep when you know you got it good
Don't sleep when you know you got it good
Don't sleep baby girl don't sleep, don't sleep
Coming across somebody else like me won't be easy
I'm in a nightmare I swear this could've been a dream
But you're sleeping
Don't sleep when you know it good
Don't sleep when you know you got it good
Don't sleep baby girl, don't sleep

Listen

While you were sleeping, I was thinking I should do better
I could prolly write a newsletter
10,000 reasons I should choose better
I did everything to make you better and I really put me on the back burner
Mr. Nice guy coming at her
I cannot lie
I do not learn
I got screwed over

Yo
There's a lotta things I would've done different if I ever had the chance to do it over
I learned a lotta things baby, school's over

I know it's prolly not a bright idea to try to be the nice guy still
I'm not gonna lie to myself
I don't know how to be anything but Mr. Right
I'm not gonna change
I don't know how to do 50 or 80
100% for my lady
But I gotta hold back on some things that I used to do early

Yah, yah

You want this nice guy, you gotta earn it
Show me some reciprocity and baby I'll give you the universe

I'd go back if I could
And instead of trying to save you, maybe I'd give you advice and pray for you

I'd go back and I wish I could

It's funny coz I know you're having discussions about me that's making me look real bad but it's all good!

All good

Don't sleep when you know you got it good
I was tryna take you out da hood, put you on to better things I don't think you understood just how bad you got it good
Don't sleep when you know you got it good
Don't sleep when you know you got it good
Don't sleep baby girl don't sleep, don't sleep

I'm in a nightmare I swear this could've been a dream
A little help and I swear we could've been a team
We could've been a team
Yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea
While you were sleeping

One of these days, in real life you gon realize how real I was to you

Never cheated and I didn't lie to you

But you couldn't even do me right could you?

Hmm
