Sky Meraki - Insomnia Lyrics

Everything look so clear on the other side
Where the mothers cry, where they run and hide, oh
Everything look so clear on the other side
Where my brothers died, where they bucking nines, oh
I slept in my car in the back of my seat
Hungry for half of the week
Went out to church for a sandwich to eat
Life took advantage of me
(God damn!)
Was stuck in a famine for weeks
Was looking for ways to get back on my feet
My brother had told me there's money to grab in the streets
Next thing you know I'm out trapping the streets
I came from the deep
Was homeless in winter in puddles of sleet
I saved up some money for couple of weeks
And got a new place, but still couldn't pay to plug in the heat
Me and my puppy would cuddle for heat
My kitchen had ramen and nuggets to eat
Was plugging to eat, all of a sudden i'm up on my feet
And seen nothing but peaks (Bang!)
Everything look so clear on the other side
Where the mothers cry, where they run and hide, oh
Everything look so clear on the other side
Where my brothers died, where they bucking nines, oh
It's so fake, half these cats aren't acting straight
Had it great, back when I was packing weight, wrapped in tape
Now it's staged, everybody changing names, acting fake
Making pay by claiming that you great, but they throwing shade, aye!
Watch all the colours you wear
Cover the chain that you wear
The place that i'm from's the deepest of slums, they begging for crumbs
They shoot for the funds that you flair
God damn I swear, they acting all fake
But came from a place where your neighbours will wave
The grass is all green, the children all play
I swear you been changing the place that you claim
Been the man that I had to be
My and my boys really had to eat
This ain't the life I asked to lead
But ima be the boss, like I had to be
Who the f*ck you? I been that dude
Me and my homies were starving for food
I been the truth, i'm living proof that you don't need degrees to rack in the loot
Put on the mask and kick in the door
Settle the scores, embezzle what's yours
Me and my brothers were itching for more
Started some pharmacies, open the store
Flipping bags and bag it all
Whatchu you need, I have it all
Tabs of ecstasy, morphine, and a bag of pills full of adderall
Everything look so clear on the other side
Where the mothers cry, where they run and hide, oh
Everything look so clear on the other side
Where my brothers died, where they bucking nines, oh
It's so fake, half these cats aren't acting straight
Had it great, back when I was packing weight, wrapped in tape
Now it's staged, everybody changing names, acting fake
Making pay by claiming that you great, but they throwing shade, aye!
