The Roots, Son Little - Sleep lyrics
[The Roots, Son Little - Sleep lyrics]
Like when autumn leaves
Fall down from the trees
There goes my honeybee
I've lost a lot of sleep to dreams
And I do not miss them
Yet, I wouldn't wish them on
The worst of enemies
Let them burn, go from here
Like when autumn leaves
To catch a thief
Who stole the soul I prayed to keep
Insomniac, bad dreams got me losing sleep
I'm dead tired, my mind playing tricks
Deceit
A face in the glass, unable to admit defeat
All that I am, all that I was is history
The past unraveled
Adding insult to this injury
I'm fighting the battle for the
Soul of the century
Destiny is everything that I pretend to be
Look, and what I did came
Back to me eventually the music played on
And told me I was meant to be awake
It's unresolved like everything I
Had at stake
Illegal activity controls my Black symphony
Orchestrated like it happened incidentally
Oh, there I go, from a man to a memory
Damn, I wonder if my fam will remember me?
I've lost a lot of sleep to dreams
And I do not miss them yet
I wouldn't wish them on the worst of enemies
Let them burn, go from here
Like when autumn leaves
Fall down from the trees
There goes my honeybee
I've lost a lot of sleep to dreams
And I do not miss them
Yet, I wouldn't wish them on
The worst of enemies
Let them burn, go from here
Like when autumn leaves
To catch a thief
Who stole the soul I prayed to keep
Insomniac, bad dreams got me losing sleep
I'm dead tired, my mind playing tricks
Deceit
A face in the glass, unable to admit defeat
All that I am, all that I was is history
The past unraveled
Adding insult to this injury
I'm fighting the battle for the
Soul of the century
Destiny is everything that I pretend to be
Look, and what I did came
Back to me eventually the music played on
And told me I was meant to be awake
It's unresolved like everything I
Had at stake
Illegal activity controls my Black symphony
Orchestrated like it happened incidentally
Oh, there I go, from a man to a memory
Damn, I wonder if my fam will remember me?
I've lost a lot of sleep to dreams
And I do not miss them yet
I wouldn't wish them on the worst of enemies
Let them burn, go from here
Like when autumn leaves
