Sleepless City

What to do when the person that you wanna be is not the person who they want you to be
Separate the real from the fantasy, and dreams are the entity of your destiny
And it overwhelms you until you can’t breathe, but you gotta open your eyes in the city that don’t sleep

[Verse 1]
Let’s dance the night away, current thoughts in tidal waves
But you like inside a page of my dreams, please stay
Longer, my passion’s growing stronger
Save me from going uh-under
In a pool of doubt, show the world what you about
‘cause they think you just a dream, but it’s not the way it seems
Nine digital, God, make her physical
Drift in the spiritual, when I see her visual
You like the shining sun, before our time is done
Let us merge together and become one
When the moon returns, my fire burns
Can’t drench it ‘cause I dreamt it
My star, your shine make the planets align
I just want your fingers between mine’s
Speak to me, think about you frequently
When I close my eyes, we’ll be back together, you and me

[Chorus, SkyBlew & Chelsea V.]
In a city that don’t sleep
I still got a dream that I promise I’m gon’ keep
I’ma survive, even when they think I died
I’ma still keep my dream alive

In a city that don’t sleep
I still got a dream that I promise I’m gon’ keep
I’ma survive, even when they think I died
I’ma still keep this dream alive

[Verse 2, Brian Flores]
I can taste it on my tongue, getting closer every step
As I breathe it in my lungs, you can smell it on my breath
Had the feeling when I was young and the feeling never left
So my only feeling now is to make ‘em never forget
Just who I am plus sometimes it’s like Russian Roulette
It’s hit or miss but make a hit and you get all the respect
And so I’m Shakespeare, this music is my Juliette
Through it I give my heart and I promise to give nothing less
Nothing will ever come between or kill my dream
Your music is what I bring and I couldn’t give a hill of beans what they think
If hope floats, I will never sink
This is no joke but they tickle me pink
Gotta keep laughing ‘cause
Many will make a habit of boarding the bandwagon
When it’s good but when it’s bad, it’s right back to playing Madden
Me and myself and I, we’ll be reaching for the blue skies
SkyBlew and I were destined to make it happen like

[Chorus]
In a city that don’t sleep
I still got a dream that I promise I’m gon’ keep
I’ma survive, even when they think I died
I’ma still keep my dream alive

In a city that don’t sleep
I still got a dream that I promise I’m gon’ keep
I’ma survive, even when they think I died
I’ma still keep this dream alive

[Verse 3]
It may sound cliche when I talk about dreams
But if you had one, then you would know what I mean
So welcome to the city where your hope’s deprived
Even when I open my eyes, my dream’s alive inside
I feel it beating, never is it receding
They’re misleading they lives because of what they all believe in
A city of folks of minimum hope
Tryna drag me down too but I’m refusing to go
Still fighting for a dream though it seem obsolete
But the thought of victory make it feel so sweet so
We gotta try, gotta fly ’til we can’t no mo’
We was losers at first but we ain’t no mo’
The restless can’t relate to this
‘cause they don’t believe in it like atheists
I realize for my dream to occur
That I gotta treat it like a her

[Chorus]
In a city that don’t sleep
I still got a dream that I promise I’m gon’ keep
I’ma survive, even when they think I died
I’ma still keep my dream alive

In a city that don’t sleep
I still got a dream that I promise I’m gon’ keep
I’ma survive, even when they think I died
I’ma still keep this dream alive

Listen
I’m a dreamer, not just someone who spits rhymes
I’m much more, sometimes you gotta spread your wings and soar
‘cause everybody got a dream worth fighting for
Or you’re laying flat on the floor
‘cause keys open doors of their mind, blind can’t lead the blind
So I sign off here hoping you understand everything you heard
But remember dreams is more than a word, it’s a verb
An action that you act upon
And if you got a dream then you’re already warned
