Prompt / Lyrics
Intro (whisper / ad-lib) Yeah… can’t sleep, nah Shadows movin’ like they know me Otro Hook I can’t sleep at night, faces on my ceiling (on my ceiling) Replayin’ every loss, every time my heart stop feelin’ Whispers in the dark, got me steady kneelin’ Money in my pocket, but it don’t stop the bleedin’ I can’t sleep at night, faces on my ceiling (on my ceiling) Mama prayin’ loud, but I’m still hearin’ demons Lights flash back, like the past keep revealin’ Countin’ all these ghosts while my soul steady healin’ Verse 1 Phone buzzin’, missed calls from the ones I loved the most Voicemails soundin’ hollow, like the city turned to ghost Took a flight for the paper, but I’m runnin’ from a ghost Of memories in bullet holes, every corner got a past Seen my brothers fall—seen ’em fade in the rain Tattoos of trauma, inked up in my brain Told myself I changed, but the nights feel the same Poppin’ pills, tryna quiet, but the voices call my name Streetlights flicker, and the ceiling turn to screens Faces of the fam that never left those scenes I bought a crib, but the silence loud between Hear the echoes of the tape that playin’ all my sins Pre-Hook Pray to God for rest, but the pillow keep betrayin’ Told myself I’m blessed, still the memories keep playin’ Countin’ stars from the suite, but my heart keep fray’n Tryna find the peace that these streets ain’t sayin’ Hook I can’t sleep at night, faces on my ceiling (on my ceiling) Replayin’ every loss, every time my heart stop feelin’ Whispers in the dark, got me steady kneelin’ Money in my pocket, but it don’t stop the bleedin’ I can’t sleep at night, faces on my ceiling (on my ceiling) Mama prayin’ loud, but I’m still hearin’ demons Lights flash back, like the past keep revealin’ Countin’ all these ghosts while my soul steady healin’ Verse 2 Late night confessions with a bottle and a pen Tryna write forgiveness, but the ink reminds me when Corner where we used to laugh now got sirens and dents Every face that left a mark turned my night to evidence I see him in the window, I see her on the porch I see the homie diggin’ deep tryna make it through the court Said I’d be the difference, but I’m searchin’ for a torch To light the hallways of my mind where the pain stays locked in force Diamonds on my neck, but the weight still heavy Fame bring attention, still the nights get messy I whisper to the sky, “Lord, hold this levy” But the flood keep comin’, just to test me steady Bridge (soft, melodic) If I sleep, will I wake there with ’em? If I dream, will I hear the sirens again? I been prayin’ for peace but these streets got a pen Write my name in the wind, every loss, every friend Tryna bury the past but the shadows never end Tryna heal a soul that the night gon’ contend Hook (variation) I can’t sleep at night, faces on my ceiling (on my ceiling) Remindin’ me of days that I ain’t do right,still pain feelin’ Porque music See you when I see you Otro
