NNEKA (Feat. Ms. Dynamite): Sleep

I must sleep, bring me down to sleep
I must sleep (oh), bring me down to sleep
I must sleep, bring me down to sleep
I must sleep, bring me down to sleep
I must sleep, bring me down to sleep

I must sleep, lay me down to sleep
Free my soul when I lay me down, for I must sleep I am going crazy,
I know I hurt you but I must sleep

Sleep

VERSE

When my strength is overcome, all my effort come undone, the light of the day, overshadowed, dawns turns dusk
When the chains that were once broken become an invisible burden for us to carry forever
If the wounds that turn to scars, grow bigger, go deeper, you still feel pain would not go away would not wither
When the mirror that was broken is put back together, and then begins to scream your name, your name
When you realize decisions you have made are made, you cannot turn back time, you cannot change your fate,
you have killed, you let her suffer, you make the world suffer, you let him down, you let God down.
Oh you carry your own cross, and I too, I carry my cross, oh.. but yet..

NNEKA (Feat. Black Thought): God Knows Why

You say you are feeling me
Camouflage killing
Civilization to the extent of imprisoning me
Freedom is what you speak
Your God, is whom I seek
For all you have, you have because someone else grief
Impose your lies on me nothing is left of me
A living dead to function in your in your own reality
In my head, I picture paradise, Jehovah and the antichrist
These are the end of the days.
Your footprints engraved in the pavement of a demonic ways
Pump me with your drug, so I cannot feel me
Take back all your love, for you have deceived me
You compete with God

God knows why
