Lyrics
I don't want no sleep
I prefer not to sleep
Won't the let day get away from me
I won't let the day slip away
Don't wanna waste my week
I don't want to waste my week
You'll never catch me counting sheep
I won't engage in the act of counting sheep
Way too early to go sleep
It's too early to sleep
But the look of my bed is really temptin' me (Oof)
The appearance of my bed is tempting, but I resist
Still tired, but sleep is the enemy (No No No)
Despite being tired, I see sleep as an enemy
Dark circles underneath my eyes (So dark)
I have dark circles under my eyes
The person that I see I hardly recognize
I hardly recognize the person I see in the mirror
So tired, but I fight the feeling everytime (Just fight it)
Although tired, I resist the urge to sleep
I don't want no sleep
Reiteration: I prefer not to sleep
Won't the let day get away from me
I won't let the day slip away
Don't wanna waste my week
I don't want to waste my week
You'll never catch me counting sheep
I won't engage in the act of counting sheep
I don't want no sleep
Reiteration: I prefer not to sleep
Won't the let day get away from me
I won't let the day slip away
That would just make me weak
That would make me weak
Stayin' awake to live my dreams
I stay awake to pursue my dreams
Stuff my pillow with some bricks
Symbolic: Using bricks to make the pillow uncomfortable
I will go out my mind if I don't rest
I'll lose my mind if I don't rest
I'll nap for just a little
Indulging in a short nap to regain energy
Till I get my groove back
Until I recover my energy and enthusiasm
Look in the mirror, who's that?
Questioning self-identity in the mirror
I don't care cause I got time
I don't care about appearances because I have time
But i'm not tryna lose track
Awareness of the need to stay focused
I don't want no sleep
Reiteration: I prefer not to sleep
Won't the let day get away from me
I won't let the day slip away
Don't wanna waste my week
I don't want to waste my week
You'll never catch me counting sheep
I won't engage in the act of counting sheep
I don't want no sleep
Reiteration: I prefer not to sleep
Won't the let day get away from me
I won't let the day slip away
That would just make me weak
That would make me weak
Stayin' awake to live my dreams
I stay awake to pursue my dreams
I'm irritated and I need to way to get loose
Feeling irritated and seeking a way to relax
The clock is ticking, I can't even hear in the booth
The urgency of time and inability to concentrate
I need a couple shots of espresso or a cup of juice
Expressing the need for stimulants like espresso or juice
But wait
Pause, contemplating the situation
I'm not into coffee just to tell you the truth
Admitting a dislike for coffee, being honest
I'm in denial, but its fine, though
Acknowledging a state of denial, but accepting it
Cause I'm breathin' ok
Reassuring that despite challenges, breathing is okay
My body might be half asleep, but the other half is awake
Physically tired but mentally awake
Don't wanna shut my eyes or else I'm givin' up on the day
Resistance to closing eyes as it signifies giving up on the day
Ok
Accepting a brief moment of rest
Maybe for a second (Second, second, second)
Reiteration: Maybe rest for a moment
