Sleep They Creep
Written By: D. Collins 1/21/24
If your eyes are closed, they creep up on you.
Totally exposed to the harm long, overdue.
Insomnia is what becomes your best friend.
Just make sure you're the last standing in the end.
Explosions from meth heads who live next door.
Guarantee's this OG ain't taking that no more.
If you sleep they creep with no good intent.
Trying to get at all the decent men.
Keep your eyes open and be on point.
You want be caught sleeping to what they want.
