Sleep

Lyrics

[Chorus] I must sleep, lay me down to sleep I must sleep (oh), lay me down to sleep I must sleep, bring me down to sleep I must sleep, bring me down to sleep [Verse 1: Nneka] 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 can't turn back time, you can't change your fate You have killed, you let her suffer You make the world suffer, you let him down, you let God down Oh, oh you carry your own cross, and I too, I carry my cross, oh I can see, but [Chorus] I must sleep, bring me down to sleep I must sleep (oh), bring me down to sleep I must sleep (free my soul), bring me down to sleep (when I lay me down) I must sleep, bring me down to sleep [Verse 2: Ms. Dynamite & Nneka] Them ball, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, oh! But the sleep so deep, it feel better in the soul and the tears The fears, the cries, the lies, we stay stuck Sleep my life away but I don't wanna wake up Murderers Blood of our children, mothers they scream, this ain't right Murderers! Just have to know who's the real enemy in this fight Oh you carry your cross, and I too, I carry my cross, oh [Chorus: Nneka] 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, bring me down to sleep [Outro: Nneka & Ms. Dynamite] I'm asleep Free my soul When I need me down I'ma 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 (lay me down to sleep, lay me down to sleep) I must sleep, bring me down to sleep Lay me down to sleep
