lyrics
I don't roam the corners I was cornered on,
Anymore, I moved on from my former songs,
Our Evolution, spells revolution, I never knew revenue
Yet change I'll produce some,
You win some, you lose some, I draw more...
Than artists in a gun duel, I'm Sun Tzu when its comes to war
Artistic, keep my heart mystic, 21 years old,
Get a load of this kid…
chorus
I need you to see this,
Even the shallow will now feel the deepness
Nights alone, I reach for the microphone,
Thats what I do when I'm sleepless
I need you to see this,
Though even the blind can still feel this,
Nights alone, I reach for the microphone,
Take me high like pilot jones when I'm sleepless
Verse II
My girlfriend dreaming next door,
The world I need to press pause,
Reflect more, and think about the way
I wanna bring about, everything I sing about
I was singled out, when I first brought a single out
Without a single doubt, I would be single now,
If music hadn't a made a man, of a boy…
Who was toying with the ladies and they don't want a ladies man
But a good soul,
I got mine from Hip Hop, and if not I'm unwhole
chorus
I need you to see this,
Even the shallow will now feel the deepness
Nights alone, I reach for the microphone,
Thats what I do when I'm sleepless
I need you to see this,
Though even the blind can still feel this,
Nights alone, I reach for the microphone,
Take me high like pilot jones when I'm sleepless
Verse III
Giving my heart, its ripping apart
Like ribbons of gifts that are given too fast,
I'm living too fast, and driven too far,
Seeking a miracle, wishing on stars,
Dealing with scars, dealing with hurt,
Dealing with death, hitching her skirt
I'm ready to flirt, but never inert,
In every verse, already I searched
For meaning in my scheming,
While my demons intervening,
With my dreaming, and its seemingly repeating
By the night, try to write songs like wrongs
And shine a light, in the darkest of our hours,
With my powerful insight.
Best to slow it down a bit,
I spent many seconds like they were counterfeit
See I wasted my time, I can't account for it,
Believed I don't amount to shit, until I heard the sound of this,
Written in the dawn of a sun rise,
The first time I looked at my young life,
And realised, that all I want is waiting for me,
I'm going back to bed,
The morning I will play my story
chorus
I need you to see this,
Even the shallow will now feel the deepness
Nights alone, I reach for the microphone,
Thats what I do when I'm sleepless
I need you to see this,
Even the blind can still feel this,
Nights alone, I reach for the microphone,
Take me high like pilot jones when I'm sleepless
