Josh Atticus - Insomnia [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

(Hook)
Me versus sleep
Play hide and seek at night
Bed bugs ever present
But never chance to bite

While y'all be dreaming
I'm tweaking
Seeing the growth of my demons
Hoping to choke out these legions
Hold up just steady your breathing

[Verse 1: Josh Atticus]

How come doing good things
Never good for the good do-er
Why they pop Martin Luther
Why they pop on a hooper

Who homies pop on niggas each day
But he on the court these days
But on this day
He walking home
Hand on ball
Ear on phone

Ball hit asphalt
Ball hit hand
Asphalt, hand
Asphalt, hand

Niggas roll up without no plan
Fist in hand, mind on frantic
Antics rampant
Rants flowing on tangents
Spot hooper and hands hit
Sirens ringing and clan split

Havoc deeply mobbin
Leave blows to hoopers noggin
Leave crimson soakin toboggan
Leave mommy on the ground

Paramedics is talking
But hooper is only coughing
Blood sputters up off him
Week later a coffin

(Hook)

Me versus sleep
Play hide and seek at night
Bed bugs ever present
But never chance to bite

While y'all be dreaming
I'm tweaking
Seeing the growth of my demons
Hoping to choke out these legions
Hold up just steady your breathing

[Bridge]

I hear mama crying, don't cry
I hear mama crying, don't lie
Crocodile tears never make a sound
Worthwhile tears always hit the ground (2x)

[Verse 2: Josh Atticus]

He used to color inside the lines and strive on time tables
Now I catch him all the time doing lines off my table

Started with laced spliffs
When he rolled up we'd dip
Residue on upper lip
Left us more than just a tip

It was no longer just a hobby
Posted up in front of the lobby
Of apartment complex
Opposite of apex

Hanging around the bottom
Best friend name was Sodom
As if mama hadn't taught him
Bad friends lead to them problems

But those weren't his friends
Them punk niggas was using him
Everytime they spot him they calling out vulgar pseudonym

Laugh it off like it's cool to him
Deep down it ruins him
Self esteem was to the brim
Now it's so low like cholo rims

And I hate them
They make me sicker than syphallis
Pushing rocks like sysaphis
To my nigga who pushing fist

Of scratch right back
Cause the cane became costly
We asked about crack
He snap back quite falsely

Trading crock pots
For crack rocks
And match box from kids
Going thru things
To loot things
For two things, to bid

The other for cash
Support the habit you stashed
Away from mommy and dad
Because you know it's that bad

Well I can-
Wait. I know, you can stop whenever you please so
Why didn't you stop when your needs were met on your knees
Geez
Wheeze

From Toking
While we was hoping
That the trees of potent
Didn't ease doors open

To becoming Bobby Browns clone
From being stoned to heating stones
And breaking homes and selling phones
To each his own
The feelings gone
Now he's known as thick as bone
And left alone cause he's a drone
To who he's blown the holder of the horrid stone


(Hook)

Me versus sleep
Play hide and seek at night
Bed bugs ever present
But never chance to bite

While y'all be dreaming
I'm tweaking
Seeing the growth of my demons
Hoping to choke out these legions
Hold up just steady your breathing
