Day's And Nights Lyrics - Devlins

I've been up for nights and days 

And my eyes remain wide awake 

Because more than my life's at steak 

So I ain't got time for blinkin' 

All the time I'm thinkin' 

If this ain't hell it's one fiery place 

Metallic projectiles fly in ya face 

And leave you like human garbage lyin' in drains 

I've gotta keep my eyeballs open 

The only thing that'll minus the pain like ibuprofen is 

9milli and K on the case 

I don't feel in control like pilots in planes 

I'm trapped in this winding maze 

I'm an insomniac, I'm insane 

I've been up for days and nights 

Through this crazy life 

But I'll sleep when I'm dead 

Until they pay me right 

My eyes are open wide 

But I'll sleep when I'm dead 

When everything on my to do list is ticked off 

Then maybe I can drift off 

Until then I'm wide awake, lyin' in a daze 

My eyeballs gaze 

Hypnotized by the sound of my wrist watch 

Clickin' tick tock 

I'm in charge of the underground just like Brick Top 

So I can't sleep I'd be wrong if I did stop 

If I'm focused on writing a verse 

You couldn't put me to sleep 

With a thousand and nine 

Bottles of night nurse 

It's likely I'll put ya lights out first 

So I'll sleep when I'm restin' in peace 

Until then I've gotta bless these beats 

Till I conquer the streets 

If I'm conscious, I can't get lost in a dream 

I've been up for days and nights 

Through this crazy life 

But I'll sleep when I'm dead 

Until they pay me right 

My eyes are open wide 

But I'll sleep when I'm dead 

If you're drowsy, remain in a slumber 

My metaphors flow over ya head 

Like a button less jumper 

I can't sleep till I'm in the sky 

Like lightning and thunder 

Sometimes at night I wonder 

Is pursuein' this dream a blunder 

Or the best thing that I ever did 

I can't sleep or slip till I'm 6 feet under 

Hence the song I'll sleep when I'm dead 

You might only need money to survive 

But my life relies on a needle instead 

I wanna eat steak meals everyday 

I'm sick and tired of livin' on a diet 

Of beans and bread 

So believe what I said 

I'll sleep when I'm where 

I'll sleep when I'm what 

I'll sleep when I'm dead 

I've been up for days and nights 

Through this crazy life 

But I'll sleep when I'm dead 

Until they pay me right 

My eyes are open wide 

But I'll sleep when I'm dead 

I've been up for days and nights 

Through this crazy life 

But I'll sleep when I'm dead 

Until they pay me right 

My eyes are open wide 

But I'll sleep when I'm dead
