Devlin – Days And Nights Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
- I've been up for nights and days
- And my eyes remain wide awake
- Because more than my life's at steak
- So I ain't got time for blinkin
- All the time I'm thinkin
- If this ain't hell it's one firey place
- Metallic projectiles fly in ya face
- And leave you like human garbarge lyin in drains
- I gotta keep my eyeballs open
- The only thing thatll minus the pain like ibuprofen is
- 9milli and k on the case
- I don't feeel incontrol like pilots in planes
- I'm trapped in this winding maze
- I'm an insomniac I'm insane
Chorus
- I've been up for days and nights throguh this crazy life but
- I'll sleep when I'm dead
- Until they pay me right
- My eyes are open wide but
- I'll sleep when I'm dead
Verse 2
- When everything on my to do list is ticked off,
- Then maybe I can drift off,
- Until then I'm wide awake, lyin in a daze,
- My eyeballs gaze.
- Hypnotised by the sound of my wrist watch,
- Clickin tick tock.
- I'm incharge of the Underground just like Brick Top
- So I can't sleep I'd be wrong if I did stop
- If I'm focused on writing a verse
- You couldn't put me to sleep with a thousand and nine bottles of night nurse
- It's likely I'll put ya lights out first
- So I'll sleep when I'm restin in peace
- Until then I've gotta bless these beats
- Till I conquer the streets
- If I'm conscious I can't get lost in a dream
Chorus
- I've been up for days and nights throguh this crazy life but
- I'll sleep when I'm dead
- Until they pay me right
- My eyes are open wide but
- I'll sleep when I'm dead
Verse 3
- If you're drowsy remain in a slumber
- My metaphors flow over ya head like a buttonless jumper
- I can'#t sleep till I'm in the sky like lightning and thunder
- Sometimes at night I wonder
- Is pursuein this dream a blunder
- Or the best thing that I ever did
- I can't sleep or slip till I'm 6 feet under
- Hence the song I'll sleep when I'm dead
- You might only need money to survive
- But my life relies on a needle instead
- I wanna eat steak meals everyday
- I'm sick and tired of livin on a diet of beans and bread
- So believe what I said
- I'll sleep when I'm where
- I'll sleep when I'm what
- I'll sleep when I'm dead
Chorus x 2
- I've been up for days and nights throguh this crazy life but
- I'll sleep when I'm dead
- Until they pay me right
- My eyes are open wide but
- I'll sleep when I'm dead
