Sleepless City

Lyrics

What to do when the person that you wanna be is not the person who they want you to be Separate the real from the fantasy, and dreams are the entity of your destiny And it overwhelms you until you can't breathe, but you gotta open your eyes in the city that don't sleep [Verse 1] Let's dance the night away, current thoughts in tidal waves But you like inside a page of my dreams, please stay Longer, my passion's growing stronger Save me from going uh-under In a pool of doubt, show the world what you about 'cause they think you just a dream, but it's not the way it seems Nine digital, God, make her physical Drift in the spiritual, when I see her visual You like the shining sun, before our time is done Let us merge together and become one When the moon returns, my fire burns Can't drench it 'cause I dreamt it My star, your shine make the planets align I just want your fingers between mine's Speak to me, think about you frequently When I close my eyes, we'll be back together, you and me [Chorus, SkyBlew & Chelsea V.] In a city that don't sleep I still got a dream that I promise I'm gon' keep I'ma survive, even when they think I died I'ma still keep my dream alive In a city that don't sleep I still got a dream that I promise I'm gon' keep I'ma survive, even when they think I died I'ma still keep this dream alive [Verse 2, Brian Flores] I can taste it on my tongue, getting closer every step As I breathe it in my lungs, you can smell it on my breath Had the feeling when I was young and the feeling never left So my only feeling now is to make 'em never forget Just who I am plus sometimes it's like Russian Roulette It's hit or miss but make a hit and you get all the respect And so I'm Shakespeare, this music is my Juliette Through it I give my heart and I promise to give nothing less Nothing will ever come between or kill my dream Your music is what I bring and I couldn't give a hill of beans what they think If hope floats, I will never sink This is no joke but they tickle me pink Gotta keep laughing 'cause Many will make a habit of boarding the bandwagon When it's good but when it's bad, it's right back to playing Madden Me and myself and I, we'll be reaching for the blue skies SkyBlew and I were destined to make it happen like [Chorus] In a city that don't sleep I still got a dream that I promise I'm gon' keep I'ma survive, even when they think I died I'ma still keep my dream alive In a city that don't sleep I still got a dream that I promise I'm gon' keep I'ma survive, even when they think I died I'ma still keep this dream alive [Verse 3] It may sound cliche when I talk about dreams But if you had one, then you would know what I mean So welcome to the city where your hope's deprived Even when I open my eyes, my dream's alive inside I feel it beating, never is it receding They're misleading they lives because of what they all believe in A city of folks of minimum hope Tryna drag me down too but I'm refusing to go Still fighting for a dream though it seem obsolete But the thought of victory make it feel so sweet so We gotta try, gotta fly 'til we can't no mo' We was losers at first but we ain't no mo' The restless can't relate to this 'cause they don't believe in it like atheists I realize for my dream to occur That I gotta treat it like a her [Chorus] In a city that don't sleep I still got a dream that I promise I'm gon' keep I'ma survive, even when they think I died I'ma still keep my dream alive In a city that don't sleep I still got a dream that I promise I'm gon' keep I'ma survive, even when they think I died I'ma still keep this dream alive Listen I'm a dreamer, not just someone who spits rhymes I'm much more, sometimes you gotta spread your wings and soar 'cause everybody got a dream worth fighting for Or you're laying flat on the floor 'cause keys open doors of their mind, blind can't lead the blind So I sign off here hoping you understand everything you heard But remember dreams is more than a word, it's a verb An action that you act upon And if you got a dream then you're already warned
