paroles de chanson I Can't Sleep - Zakk Genni

I can't sleep, but when I do, it's at the wrong time
I can't eat, but when I do, it's not the right kind
I can't breathe, it's harder every time that I try
And I'm weak, I can't keep on failing at life

I can't sleep, but when I do, it's at the wrong time
I can't eat, but when I do, it's not the right kind
I can't breathe, it's harder every time that I try
And I'm weak, I can't keep on failing at life

You want me to win, but hope that I lose
I bought me a pen, I got me a booth
I lost to my friends to keep you amused
I did what you said, now do what you do
Don't play with my head, I'm already confused
I gave you my life and you didn't come through
I promised my children I'd make it to you
Now what do I tell em when we run outa food?

Like, sorry, can't eat today, kids
Cause daddy ain't gonna make it
I know I made you a promise, but dad's gotta break it
No, I ain't gonna say it, I made it my goal
And I told who I told
I can't give up, I just gotta show em
I'll make a hit, I just gotta focus
I just need a minute, I know I'll get noticed
And what do I tell em when I can't afford
All the shit that I told em I'd buy em before
When hope was alive and you open the door
But now that it's shutting and I'm getting poor
I'm looking for windows or cracks in the door
Can't break through ceilings without breaking floors
I'll just have to make it, got no other choice

Yeah, I can't sleep, but when I do, it's at the wrong time
I can't eat, but when I do, it's not the right kind
I can't breathe, it's harder every time that I try
And I'm weak, I can't keep on failing at life

I can't sleep, but when I do, it's at the wrong time
I can't eat, but when I do, it's not the right kind
I can't breathe, it's harder every time that I try
And I'm weak, I can't keep on failing at life

I was rapping underground, had to struggle for the fame
Barely even drew a crowd, people throwing all that shade
They be sounding like an owl when the DJ say my name
Like, who the fuck is rapping, throwing towel on a stage

No one ever gave me credit, no one knew who I was
I couldn't even get a bottle, nobody gave a fuck
I was all on my own, just trying to make my way
Never got a second glance till I got my chains
And now I'm rapping on the stage, fuck the haters, fuck the pain
I've been making my way, ignoring haters in the way
Yeah, I used to be ashamed about the things that I would say
But my lyrics speak in volumes to the people who relate

So I'm not gonna stop it, no, I won't ever fade away
Until I'm at the top and everybody knows my name
Until I'm shining like a star and bringing money to my bank
Until my old high school is bragging that they knew me

I can't sleep, but when I do it's at the wrong time
I can't eat, but when I do it's not the right kind
I can't breathe, it's harder every time that I try
And I'm weak, I can't keep on failing at life

I can't sleep, but when I do it's at the wrong time
I can't eat, but when I do it's not the right kind
I can't breathe, it's harder every time that I try
And I'm weak, I can't keep on failing at life
