No Rest

No rest for the wicked not even on the weekend
No visits from the sandman or trips off to dreamland
Even when I'm sleeping just tryin to get a wink in
One eye's open while the other one is peeking
Hardly ever sleep and when I do it isn't long
Go to bed late and wake up before dawn
Stay self employed so I'm always on the job
It's 24/7 never takin days off
Round the clock nonstop I'll rest when I'm dead
Too many thoughts lost processin in my head
So often I just lay awake lyin in my bed
Contemplating the next move and what lies ahead
Instead of catching z's wrapped up in the sheets
I'm practicin my frees rapping over beats
A passionate freak with a massive fatigue
A savage, a beasts and I haven't even peeked

No rest for the wicked
No no no no no
No rest for the wicked
No no no no no
No rest for the wicked
No no no no no
No rest for the wicked
No no no no rest

I'm just a simple man just known to kick a raps
Tryin to give the kids a life we never had
Workin all the time nappin when I can
Passin out on the couch the remote in hand
No CAP you can check the receipt
The insomniac with a bit of narcolepsy
I'm a different kinda cat a whole different breed
A lion in the jungle not a tabby in the trees/
Keep my eyes on the pride especially at night
And makin sure there isn't any predators in sight
Tryin to take the high road and do what is right
But in the end it's almost always fight over flight
So I sleep light and no its never restful
Survival in a place where day is so stressful
You find me writin daily with a paper and a pencil
Or wide awake at night fightin demons and devils

No rest for the wicked
No no no no no
No rest for the wicked
No no no no no
No rest for the wicked
No no no no no
No rest for the wicked
No no no no rest

Now I never count sheep but I heard it doesn't fail
Find it hard to sleep lyin on a bed of nails
Take the wind out my sails i don't get a solid eight
Starin at the ceiling and I'm feeling wide awake
Bags under eyes feels like this week's groceries
Sweat drenched sheets now I'm awake and now mostly
Hopefully asleep enough to even feel the rest
Chest deep and heavy breathing just some signs to manifest
Not that I'm depressed though I know it doesn't help
Mind is so unkind at 3am you're not yourself
The wealth of entertainment reading used to do the trick
Nowadays knockin pages chapters sagas all of it
I just want to call it quits when my head hits the pillow
Instead I get a second wind like someone opened windows
Madness won't crescendo it just keeps an even keel
No rest until death just debt and more bills
No rest until death just debt and more bills
No rest
