here jean is expressing his love for the night time and being up late when most people would be asleep or “slipping”.
[Chorus]
I'm not going to sleep to wait if I die
I'm not livin' a dream awake at night
This isn't a nightmare
This isn't a nightmare
[Verse 1]
Stay or sleep walk, my strut straight fade
Hate all people, I mean I only need my space
It's 3:05, I ride when it's dark outside
I'm a midnight child
[Chorus]
I'm not going to sleep to wait if I die
I'm not living a dream awake at night
This isn't a nightmare
This isn't a nightmare
[Bridge]
Sugar rush, how do you love?
Sun isn't up, niggas on the run
Niggas on the run
[Verse 2]
You don't see my face, I don't see a case, uh
Catch you slipping in the night, I be awake
Creeping, crawling until morning
Slither down your block, I'm on it (I'm on it)
[Chorus]
I'm not going to sleep to wait if I die
I'm not living a dream awake at night
This isn't a nightmare
This isn't a nightmare
