Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mantra] Uh, it wasn't that it was heinous It was just dangerous Thinkin' I could just walk around and be nameless Forget what my game is, forget ambitions of my past Let my path just be aimless 'Cause when you paranoid, plus the people is watchin' That shit ain't got nowhere to go but directly into your subconscious The monsters get so monstrous when the darkness is fallin' And I don't wake up from my nightmares in the mornin' Used to follow my dreams and they were good Now bad dreams follow me everywhere that I look (Look) I used to blame alcohol and cocaine For the way that my brain's cooked, but I ain't never been hooked So everything that I took, elaborated the book New layers for the cake I was bakin', I was shook Back in the day we got baked in my neck of the woods Kinda feel like e'ry song I put out since got the same hook [Chorus: Mantra, N'fa Jones, Mantra & N'fa Jones] Sometimes (Sometimes) All I see is Moonlight (Moonlight) Peerin' through these Dark skies (These dark skies) Shinin' light on Where I might belong Goodnights (Goodnights, goodnights) Run right through these Bad times (These bad times) Running tricks on My mind (On my mind) Tellin' me I Might be too Far gone [Verse 2: N'fa Jones] Hm, reflections of iridescence Shone through my pupil since I was a pupil adolescent Lookin' through the camera lens, John Singleton's Just a baby boy in the hood with good intentions and (Hoo) Seekin' poetic justice in my sentences Misconstrued by fools for being indifferent, oh Sophisticated with innovative intelligence We tried to explain it but they just looked at us indifferent (Huh) Complex matters never mattered to the simpleton Where all else matters but black lives and listenin' They never give in so we're never givin' in No forgivin' them until they divide the dividends Race or not, it's all about positionin's I face the flock and live to tell the witnesses It's a dark path of lonely hearts that never ends Like a loopin' song with the same hook singin' in [Chorus: Mantra, N'fa Jones, Mantra & N'fa Jones] Sometimes (Sometimes) All I see is Moonlight (Moonlight) Peerin' through these Dark skies (These dark skies) Shinin' light on Where I might belong Goodnights (Goodnights) Run right through these Bad times (These bad times) Running tricks on My mind (On my mind, my-my-my mind) Tellin' me I Might be too Far gone (Too far gone, I said) [Bridge: N'fa Jones] Turn the pages (Uh-huh) It's the same old story Nothin' changes (Nothin' changes) No gain, no glory (Oh) What remains is (What remains is) All the pain we hide (All the pain) Pray we find a way to Do right [Verse 3: Mantra, N'fa Jones, Mantra & N'fa Jones] Already thought of four responses before I say one, been like this since day one Now most days, feel like the same one Outside of music I ain't tryna say much Why it bothers me to see no one else ever really be holdin' they tongue Yeah, Straight up, can we just wait up, wait up? Uh Can we just wait up, wait up? Uh Can we just wait up, wait up? Just wake up, wake up? Just wake up, wake up? Uh (Oh) Can we just wait up, wait up? Uh (Hey) Can we just wait up, wait up? Uh (Hey) Can we just wait up, wait up? (Hey) Just wake up, wake up? Just wake up, wake up? Yo (Oh) [Outro: N'fa Jones] Ay-ay Wake up, wake up Wake up, ha-hey
