Текст песни Sleep Deprived - Dreamville , Mez , Davionne , Lute

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Yeah, hey, hey, uh

I met this girl the other day that wanna know my story
She said since the world against me, she all for me
I told her God must've overheard my hopeful wishin'
Crazy how I never would've thought to be in this position
'Cause see, "Hip-hop saved my life" is such a cliché quote
But before I grabbed the mic, I was the poster child of broke, uh
Signed my first deal off the realest shit I wrote
Now to my city, I'm the closest thing to hope
Used to be barely above water, now I float
Same niggas in my DMs used to take me for a joke
Talked cold shit behind my back, then called me bro
Like, bro, you gotta match one before you blow
I always leave the message on seen 'cause I don't smoke
When really, I don't fuck with half these niggas on the low
And that's just how it go, she go, "Damn, nigga, that's deep"
I know, tell me about it, my life be full of stress
Fake bitches and sleep-deprived life, uh

Dreams, all my shit been colossal though
Used to be honor roll, now it's foreign whips I'm ridin' on
Now everything I flow hot as fuck, I mean poblano though
Me and Lute 'posed to been did this shit, it's perfect timing though
Remember us bein' younger talkin' 'bout gettin' signed to Cole?
I was so hot-headed then, I'm a lot calmer though
Tryna buy me a brick house when I get comma though
Money gon' help with a lot of things, but not the trauma though
Had so many adventure times, we used to run from the jakes
To make it for Southside, we'd do whatever it takes
It was apartheid when my barber parted my fade
'Cause now I'm pulled left and right by Keisha and Adrinae
All this shit get so deep, man, I'm hopin' y'all dive in
I don't fuck with survivin', I'm only thinkin' 'bout thrivin'
But you way too afraid, yeah, I know what your vibe is
Always worried 'bout me, that shit must be sleep-deprived

That shit must be sleep-deprived

I ain't never had nothin', yeah, I had to work for it
Prayed to God every day, even went to church for it
Built from the ground up, played in the dirt for it
God told me it would work out, I took His word for it
We all come from a very different path
Look at what we been through, look at where we at
Gotta lose some sleep, worry 'bout what we on
Said I wouldn't make it, but I always prove 'em wrong, yeah

Yeah
Turned into a big deal, but way realer than Black Friday
They let a visionary vibrate, hoppin' through the tri-state
I got this bird box simply off a blind date
Now I'm in a trying state, turned into a horror story
Broke my heart to the point I had to find tape
Sprayin' Lysol, sage, just to wipe her away like eternal sunshine
Pulled up in a drop spot, listen, summertime
Seen you with some other guy, long story summarized
Writing on the wall, got your message underlined
I been gettin' high as summer crime ever since
Wonder why ill intent was inside of your skin, but damn
Dookie braids, droopy eyes, it was groupie love
Hurt feelings, no cap like bougie clubs
Sat alone, deep in silence
Thinkin' 'bout you gettin' sleep-deprived, yeah

I ain't never had nothin', yeah, I had to work for it
Prayed to God every day, even went to church for it
Built from the ground up, played in the dirt for it
God told me it would work out, I took His word for it
We all come from a very different path
Look at what we been through, look at where we at
Gotta lose some sleep, worry 'bout what we on
Said I wouldn't make it, but I always prove 'em wrong, yeah
