Insomnia

I'm just surprised they don't get it yet
I'm tryna save you, take you somewhere you can relate to
Gotta face facts dude, them niggas cool, they ain't you
You better stay you
To the muthafuckin' grave dude

Every night I sit here wide awake
Mind in a maze tryna find my way
I been climbing for days, but the high don't stay
They still ain't hearing what I'm tryna say
Every night I sit here wide awake
Mind in a maze tryna find my way
I been climbing for days, but the high don't stay
They still ain't hearing what I'm tryna say

I'm still tryna decide, do I like Mona more, or Monet?
I've paraphrased scriptures, played Coldplay and Green Day
Bought me a Strat with three strings, and streamed those tracks on replay, tryna reenact my teen days
When everything I ate was premade, on Christmas we all played Nintendo Wii games
I still could sleep great, without a million thoughts up in my brain all tugging me in each way
As I say, "Tomorrow it'll change"
This happens each day, forreal though
Mama always said, "Don't drink the Kool-Aid"
Shit, guess I was thirsty
A tad bit deranged, think she birthed me too early
Told me that I'd grow up to be a doctor or attorney, then I grew my hair out and started bumping mad New York beats
They count me out but can't round, calculations bad as fuck
Done the math forth and back, man something still ain't adding up
I'm tryna take you somewhere far away, like an aqueduct
It's just the way I see things, excuse me if I'm acting up
Drove to Dakota and poured me an orange soda
I'm somewhat a mix of both Ray Liotta and Baby Yoda
A little touch Jeffrey Dahmer, a dash of Barack Obama
I'm preaching like this was Donda, they say I'm a prima donna
I think so too
I'm soulful, I bust moves, and know how to pull the hoes dude, it's just truth
You niggas old news, we throw that paper out
And I just wake up getting straight to the bread, that's a paper route
Call all the shots like Tecmo Bowl
Sport a vest on my chest for life's quests, and a halo to protect my soul
Just beat the odds like I trance-gated a metronome
It's transcendental meditation when I find myself alone
Went through damn near everything and taught myself to let it go
Most Underrated in this bitch, can't wait to say, "I told you so"
'Long as I know, been dropping gems and planting seeds
Now you can watch 'em grow, as they turn into fucking trees nigga

Every night I sit here wide awake
Mind in a maze tryna find my way
I been climbing for days, but the high don't stay
They still ain't hearing what I'm tryna say
Every night I sit here wide awake
Mind in a maze tryna find my way
I been climbing for days, but the high don't stay
They still ain't hearing what I'm tryna say
It's ok
