Can’t Sleep lyrics
by Lil Uzi Vert
[Intro]
Kill a street n*gga, get a dime
Kill a rap n*gga, get a dub
I heard you Kodak (Gang sh*t, uh, uh)
They be like, "Ayy, Herb, we got PTSD or what?"
(Post traumatic stress disorder, n*gga)
[Verse 1]
Told him you gon' live but he ain't live, my n*gga died
Thinking 'bout it now, the last time I really cried
Shut 'em tight, now I see red when I open my eyes
That's the only time I told my n*gga a lie
'Member he had that b*tch on fire and it wasn't even hot
I'm surprised we won that gun fight, it wasn't even a Glock
I was right there in his face and I ain't even get shot
Watch my comments 'cause the fans gon' say I got him got
16, I'm young as hell, we going on the opps
That's why it's lil' bro 'cause he don't talk too much, that n*gga plotting
Please don't let Maneski influence him, that n*gga rotten
We put in work for Kobe and Roc so they don't feel forgotten
6 AM I had my pen jottin'
C Money called me like "Pop out, we on it again, ándale"
I know the opps like, "Damn that's them again, they coming again it's ugly"
Mikk had the stu booked for me but I'm on the block with my killas 'cause that's where I wanna be
Went on my first hit but I ain't make it a body 'cause I saw a lady in front of me
I had a dream that I saw the n*gga killed Roc with a gun in my hand, he was under me
I was naive chillin', ain't wanna go get it, thought I could just wait 'til it come to me
I went and got it, now I got a lot, n*gga, everybody know I got dough, go wherever I wanna be (Wherever I wanna be)
[Chorus]
Thousand-mile races through my head, now I can't sleep (I can't sleep)
Let me just relax, the Devil playing wit' me
Angels talking, I just can't hear what they saying to me (Saying)
Suffering from anxiety, I'm fighting insanity (I'm fighting insanity)
In the streets, I saw them fiends more than my family (My f*cking family)
I been seeing so much blood I need a Xan' to sleep
I can't even get no sleep unless you laying with me (Laying wit' me)
And I got faith I'm gon' get home, I know you praying for me (Uh)
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna lean no more, now I can't even sleep
Sweating out for weeks, if I ain't smoke weed, I couldn't eat (I couldn't even eat)
I was drinking syrup before I heard of SoundCloud (Before I heard of SoundCloud rappers)
When Lil' Black was in his prime, you n*ggas wasn't around (No bapp)
Before the Instagram had my city going down (n*ggas want clout)
Back if you ain't know a junkie wasn't a four around (Nothing)
I was tryna ease my mind, stop it from going 'round (Stop it from going round n*gga)
I seen buddy laid down, holes in his crown (Boom, boom, boom, boom)
All you n*ggas wanna be kings but doing peasant sh*t (Doing peasant sh*t)
How the f*ck he want commission? Ain't even selling sh*t
n*ggas still out in these streets like they ain't telling sh*t (Snitch b*tch)
Ain't a hustler, he can't eat unless he nailing sh*t (Unless he nailing sh*t)
If he want smoke, I love pressure, I'm inhaling it
n*gga, I'ma strike at whatever
I got my pipe, I'll do life, n*gga, try us, whatever
I ride dolo 'cause I found out n*ggas wasn't solid
I thought you was riding forever
90% of these n*ggas is b*tches
They find theyselves snitchin', tryna lie to detectives (f*ck is you talking for?)
[Chorus]
Thousand-mile races through my head, now I can't sleep (Damn)
Let me just relax, the Devil playing wit' me (Devil playing)
Angels talking, I just can't hear what they saying to me (Can't hear what they saying to me)
Suffering from anxiety, I'm fighting insanity (Going brazy, roll up)
In the streets, I saw them fiends more than my family (Damn)
I been seeing so much blood I need a Xan' to sleep (Damn)
I can't even get no sleep unless you laying wit' me (Damn)
And I got faith I'm gon' get home, I know you praying for me (I know you prayin')
[Outro]
Thousand-mile races through my head, now I can't sleep
Let me just relax, the Devil playing wit' me
Angels talking, I just can't hear what they saying to me
Suffering from anxiety, I'm fighting insanity
In the streets, I saw them fiends more than my family
I been seeing so much blood I need a Xan' to sleep
I can't even get no sleep unless you laying with me
And I got faith I'm gon' get home, I know you praying for me
