B. Cooper - While the City Sleeps [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro: J.C.]
No-doze in my system
No pool full of liquor
No room full of fans
Just a mic on a stand and a beat
While the city sleeps
(wake up)

[Verse 1: J.C.]
I don’t know what you be on
I be over here puttin’ on
Trying to be a voice for my people
So I don’t know what you hatin’ for
Got a thousand beats on my cell phone
Got bars for days, I ain't flexin’ holmes
I’m the one you be sleeping on
Y’all be on that Tylenol (PM)

[Bridge 1: J.C.]
Sleep on, Sleep On, Sleep On
Sleep on, Sleep On, Sleep On
While I Put On, Put On, Put On
Til’ I’m gone, Til’ I’m gone
(wake up)

[Verse 2: B. Cooper]
Yeah, It’s 15 years of hard work
Blood, sweat, tears, cardiac, my heart hurts
No Photoshop to crop and fix this artwork
All that would have been in vain if I ain’t learn to put God first
Now it’s late nights in the studio
No sleep til’ my funeral
Score keeper, I knew my goals
Weight watcher, I knew my growth
Give em’ heat like it’s 2 below
When you hear this beat treat it like a couch cushion, lose control
This is that hotel phone wakeup call
No snooze button, nah, life ain’t tryin’ to wait at all
Holding on to summer, ya’ll think that I hate the fall
While the city’s sleepin’ we wide awake, dreams takin’ off

[Bridge 2: J.C.]
Sleep on, Sleep On, Sleep On
Sleep on, Sleep On, Sleep On
While I Put On, Put On
Put On While the city sleeps
(wake up)
