Verse 1
Sleep, sleep on, get your soul train
cause I got too much ill shit on my brain I frame
a masterpiece, a visionary vibe
my words drift,
many ride my joint like a stick shift
I sip booze on tours, let me see you go for yours
10 G's down, I leave ya in your fuckin drawers
whores got hold on the industry
but I'm your pimp, that's why you're suckin me
now it's time to uplift, true, I never gas ya
finishin you off with the dagger while I slash ya
wise words cut, my pocket's full of politicians
I make incisions, Daddy Rich's cut precision
I take your slumber, slide into your psyche
slippin in a sleep like a brand-new pair of Nike
grips if you sips on the wines you might hallucinate
visions of you swingin from a noose, a suicide state
of mind, seek to find, rewind the tape to peep it
like T-La-Rock it's yours, if you sow the seeds, you reap it
I flip stlyes, keep you wild like a juvenille
ain't Gomer Pile I'm a form of the penile
system, enlist em, alarm clock's ringin
why must you sleep, why must you sleep, sleep?
got vibes that can feel the reaper
so make some room for the sleeper
 
Verse 2
The sleep is subtle as a switch-up mode
sleepwalkin over, someone droppin their load
no posin pictures, break ya, then I fix ya
Rich is on the mix, Daddy Rich break mixers
I got stamina, that's why I'm havin ya
raw on a plate, yeah, I'm cappin ya
I said no lore watch the pelicans fly
rippin it from Watts out to Bed-Stuy
wilfull wishes, all hoes and bitches
you got a little tipsy and forgot about the misses
slept and you slept and you slept on
10 feet under, now you're passed on
I caught you lunchin, yo, here's a no-dose
eyes in the back of my head, surveillance photos
I run missions, listen to the word pass
guess I gotta smoke you like smoke glass
(Woof!) If you wanna snooze, just kick up your shoes
get a new attitude, not a qualude
I bring it like a hooker out roamin
I'm fierce like a pitbull foamin
I got it like HIV got so many
I'm runnin circles like Wille O Smedly
jump off the high horse, top of the heaper
and come on down for the sleeper
