Lyrics
Ain't no time for sleeping
I been dreaming this for the longest
Only way for the freedom baby
Gotta focus on profits
A hater cut em out of my circle
Got no energy for the doubters
They don't really want us wit power
They don't really want us wit power
Ain't no time for sleeping
Know it gotta be my season
Nigga I been dreaming this for the longest
Ain't nobody tell me
For the freedom
While we breathing
Though its evil
Gotta focus on profits
A hater cut em out of my circle
Got no energy for the doubters
They don't really want us wit power
They don't really want us wit power
(2) I gotta I gotta stay on my path keep my head above water
(2) Once a nigga start exposing all the shit that they never told us
(2) Lately man lately man I got the feeling if I've just been chosen
(2) I'm tired of these niggas sleeping on me its bout time that they woke up
(2) I smoke some trees to escape from my problems so I can just float away
(2) When did it become the wave for niggas catching a bodies or catch a case
(2) We in a struggle for power so you a somebody go die today
(2) I lost my brother that way so think bout that shit damn near everyday
(1) Way too many youngings out here shooting shit up just to a get a fucking reputation
(1) Unaware what they perpetuating
You can't earn no stripes from killing niggas
The war we fighting is a mental state
To keep us all sedated modern slaves
History you better get acquainted
First was crack now its stop and frisk
Aint no time for sleeping
Know it gotta be my season
Nigga I been dreaming this for the longest
Aint nobody tell me
For the freedom
While we breathing
Though its evil
Gotta focus on profits
A hater cut em out of my circle
Got no energy for the doubters
They don't really want us wit power
They don't really want us wit power
(1) listen man you gotta see the signs
It ain't only bout the dollar sign
I know 4 it come before the 5
Get Freedom than you get the power
Music really is the new religion
They gon use it for covert agendas
First the March had turned into militia
But know its cool if you done killed a nigga
1) Only real ones in my circle
Talking bout my family
and I'm talking bout day ones
I chop it up wit all my brothers
My whole crew is full of stoners
Tryna hop up In the circle
who is you
I never seen yo ass before now
No you cannot smoke my doja
Sorry nigga I don't trust ya
This the wave so I be surfing
Writing shit just got me searching
For the key to see my dreams become my future
Hope this work it got a purpose
Alot niggas out here lurking
Can't let no man take my earnings
Learning nothing is for certain
A test of focus
Everyday a test of focus
Keeping all eyes open
Power hungry population I'm exposing
Niggas never see who they at war wit
Steady talking bout the opposition
