Yelawolf - Sleeping Beauty lyrics

I use to gaze over streets and alley ways
Writing rhymes waiting to go home on the J
For Yelawolf, Queens was a short stay
Two years on the grind and
The music barely paid i had to get back home
Cuz record deals denied me
So many people were listening, loving
But they were scared to try me so

Over and through the woods on
A greyhound bus I go
Five G production deal and promises to hold
See that's 2000 for a U haul for our stuff
500 deposit on an apartment, wait, hold up
Let's not forget about food and diapers
For the next 6 months
A G on my every C and ill be back in the slum
At least I can make beats and practice up
Maybe somebody will call me before
A demo track to cut
I tremble at the thought of losing


Out of what I lust
But me being sucked inside this
Needle is a must
The world will never know who
Truly lies beneath this man
What power I possess with this pen in my hand
Rather then to quit I just
Continue with this truth
And it's back down south and
I'm bouncing with these roots
Roots of a carnivorous cover the
Son as i write this
Harmonious rendition of revelations
With this sword i cut this word
Into as sculpted piece of history
Unraveling lies and mystery alabama!
(deeply rooted in the American dream)
In the midst of hate like superstars who rape
They see us in overalls they
Overlooking the truth over all okay then
Who shall represent my home
Exclusive to my people?
To support the love and pulse
Them to the drum
We speak in tongues when we speak
That slang all in one
Description of a minority covers ten in one
And if you're white and you
Support it you're a pun
I seek the Cherokee prayer dances

Three, seven, nine, twelve
Nineteen the most high
What comes after nine? (Zero)
Nine is the most high (deeply rooted)
Yeah, constantly evolving
Ever revolving chamber of hollow tips
That blow holes in weak hollow ships
You carry none and when my submarine pops
Up you're s-s-s-s-sunk!

I gotta say it cause I don't feel alone
There's a million soldiers living in my home
They all get it, but you
Don't know you don't, so I what?
Be mourning sleeping beauties at the throne
Yeah, mourning sleeping beauties
At the throne sleep, sleep, sleep
Sleeping beauty at the throne
I gotta say it cause I don't feel alone
So be what? Be mourning sleeping
Beauties at the throne

Time is passing me by like exercise
And im headed back out of state to
Pursue what i feel is mine
Feel like my pride is only worth so much now
Respect from other emcees has
Feel to the background
Pleasing the clones has left me all alone
Will they come get me now that i owe my rent?
Nope? So am I wrong? (nah)
Fuck them haters and i never
Felt so real saying it
I used to laugh at that quote
Now I'm bout ready to tat that quote
Im two seconds from running up in the label
With this whole state of Alabama
Sitting at the table
And all I gotta do is bring my CD
You can hear a million solders
If you listen closely
Besides being otherworldly with this rap shit
At least they can recognize my
Passion as an advocate
If I'm not real to you when
You listen to my penmanship
You don't follow real music
You follow trends and whips
I will not bend and flip
To get your attention and why should I?
It's all in what I mention boy it's
(self evident) I love my god given gift
If ain't obvious by now you can

We pass the bill
You inherit whats left over from the kill
Whether it be taps on a phone
Or cameras in your home we on!
The bar-codes on the bag of
Chips was just a test
And man that's (Self evident)
Now lets see how it look on your wrist
Pretty good! Jacobs jewelers
Couldn't touch that!
Trillions got spent so you could be the
(evident?)
Your daddy don't know nothing bout this
In God We Trust is the psyche genius
Tricked you, tricked you
Now who god you worshiping?
We know the pentagon is the
Center of a pentagram
That's so simple to them, so whats deep?
Deep is physical so they dig for oil leaks
Truthfully? I hate this world
For what it's worth i love my people
But they following a wicked system that is
(Self-evident) let's play red rover
Pull on one another till
We shoulder to shoulder
Learn about the culture of
Our neighboring soldiers
Cause if we teach each other
Then the slavery's over (Feel me?)

I gotta say it cause I don't feel alone
There's a million soldiers living at my home
They all get it, but you
Don't know you don't, so I what?
Mourning sleeping beauty at the throne
Mourning sleeping beauty at the throne
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Sleeping beauty at the throne
I gotta say it cause I don't feel alone
So be what? Mourning sleeping
Beauty at the throne

(See they don't wanna give us no, justice)
(And thats why, they dead to us)
(So we mourn em, right, they sleeping on us)
(Mourning sleeping beauties at the throne
Feel me)
