Insomnia

Toss and turning in bed Ducking the sheets Crazy dreams, I still can't sleep Television blurring, my eyes And the silent weep As we working for food, working for clothes Spiritual battling so many foes Spiritual battling keep composure Looking for closure, look at them all Up and pacing real fast, now pacing real slow Think of my peers where did they go Braid up my hair, then cut off my hair Peaceful glares, out of the the window Wanna be cool, everything's cool read the bible the Elohim, Is Jesus smooth I'm all over the place , my problems moving me Faster and faster in the direction of booze Slept on the couch, used to the floor Went to the bed, scratched on my head Out of my brain, going insane Gotta maintain, I gotta maintain Look at the wall, doze off, at 3:00 there go the door I wish people leave me alone, cut off my phone, turn to the news Pestilence and of course, death, and war Got thinking , Can I make it to heaven? What am I here really here for So those who oppose, Sleep in the mind, sleep in the heart Never rewind, never recline, never deny Remember we in it to win it, until I fly In it to rise, as long as the sun could shine I'd never be blind
