“Sleep Is 4 The Weak” would become NXSLEEP’s first solo release to surpass 10,000 plays on SoundCloud in July 2016, excluding tracks with KILLTJ that hit 20K a few months prior in January.
Yuh, yuh, yuh
'Til the sun come up, 'til the sun come up
It's No Sleep in this bitch, It's fucking...5AM already? damn
[HOOK]
Sleep is for the weak, I ain't slept in 'bout a week
Doing shit that they don't see, tryna eat with my team
If they sleeping on me, tell them sleep is for the weak
If they sleeping on me, tell them sleep is for the weak
Said I don't got no time to waste so I don't waste no time asleep
4AM, I'm in the booth, then 6AM, I hit the streets
If they sleeping on me, tell them sleep is for the weak
If they sleeping on me, tell them
[VERSE ONE]
Hold up, Aye, I've been losing my mind
Gaining some focus and using my time
To perfect all the rhymes and progress on the grind
Heading up to the top, nothing less on my mind
How am I ever gonna stop when a cheques on the line?
All you need is the guap for the best of a life
So I aim for the gold, might stray from the soul
But forget about another long day in the cold, damn
All these thoughts in my head
Just trying to get 'em out before i'm dead, and bet
Never would I ever wanna be like them
So I'm trying to better with everything I can
But everything I am is everything I've seen
And everything I imagine is everything I can be
And now I see, through the lies and the fakes
Everyday I'm looking right into the eyes of these snakes
And it's easy to see, you've been sleeping on me
Yeah, you just a minute late
All that I hear is these rappers
Sounding worse than the rappers that they tryna imitate
I'm tryna innovate, switch up the game
Show 'em something they really ain't
Make me a milli, might cop me some real estate
Stack it straight up 'til the ceiling break
Swear that I'm feeling great (yeah!)
[Hook]
& I ain't slept in 'bout a week
Doing shit that they don't see, trynna eat, with my team
If they sleeping on me, tell them sleep is for the weak
If they sleeping on me, tell them sleep is for the weak
Said I don't got no time to waste so I don't waste no time asleep
4AM I'm in the booth then 6AM I hit the streets
If they sleeping on me, tell them sleep is for the weak
If they sleeping on me
[VERSE TWO]
My mind universal
The verses steady disperse in such insanity, he damages
Wrecking records on purpose, 24/7 i'm putting this work in
Until I got these bad bitches twerking in person, I'm certain
Shared a coke with molly but honestly I was leaning sprite
Doing drugs with the demons that you probably gon' see at night
Passing blunts with Satan
Who'd've thought that we would be alike
Hip hop and meditation all i really need in life
I mean I prefer Reefer -- but if I wanna guarantee
Interdimensional states of mind and third eye clarity
I've gotta set my priorities
Face what the majority of y'all just scared to see
Move into my thoughts, let 'em carry me
A rarity in the game, these lames barely even compare to me
Your girl she stare at me, she say I got it
I'm robbing your chick and your whip and your wallet and your mamas house from the change on the couch to the ounce
And all dollars in all of your pockets, some say I'm a prophet
Fuck that shit, I just want profit lil homie I'll be what I'm born to be
King of the fallen, don't care what they call it
I'm stacking up all this, so I can be balling out metaphorically
Scoring these threes with ease, the steez so unfuckwitable
Running after labels like duck duck interscope
Young indigo with the flow steady spitting gold
