A brotha can't sleep
Cause he thinkin' bout HER,
Bout the promises she keep,
Got my mind all astir
Wishin' for a wink or two
Let alone like 40
But it just won't do
Thinkin' bout this shawty
And all the things that she do
Knowin' full well I don't want her to
Wonderin' jus why
Cause she ain't my boo
It jus don't make sense
Cause she ain't my girl
So I'm throwin' up fences
To protect my world
But it ain't really workin'
Cause I'm losin' my head
And I'm losin' all this sleep
I should be in the bed
But alas I'm still awake
Not a yawn to spare
As my mind begins to break
I begin to despair
Pacin' to n fro, back n forth, side to side
I'm tryin' to get this thing gone and retire the night
Keepin' both eyes open (not by choice) in hopes
That the Sandman is comin', in the dark i grope
For a grasp on this girl, and the angle she on
But it ain't comin' soon, it's the crack of dawn
So I guess I'm still pacin', in the shadows I creep
Thinkin' on this shawty, cause I jus can't sleep...
