Matlock - Don't Sleep [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Lie wide wake counting the cracks in the ceiling
Hoping the sandman might come and knock me out like Peter Mcneeley
Toss and turn, my eyes are heavy, they just won’t stay closed
Kick of the covers, get out of bed, turn on the tube, blaze a roach
Last time i slept, i dreamt we loved our neighbors
Friends and family were loyal and returned all favors
But when i woke (what) all i saw was jokers and strangers
All my pussy partners was gone along with all my papers (haters!)
A lot of people is two faced
That’s why i keep my boots laced
Stomp through this swamp like a Sasquatch for you snakes
For a true face
Hoes, roller codes that turn stale?
Shady motherfuckers that wasn’t down in the first place
Choose your ace, Fuck out love and who doesn't
Whose your homie
Whose the phony
Whose for real
Whose frontin
I count the days in the week
While you fools count sheep
I’ll have enough time for Z's
When I’m six feet deep

Don’t sleep
Frauds, connivers, money misers and cheats
Don’t sleep
Trail of tattletales lies and deceit
Cats will get you for your shit when your trying to eat
Bury the hatchet in your back and let you die in the street
Don’t sleep
Watch your friends and keep your enemies close
Don’t sleep
Drugs, lust, trust and treasury notes
Anything goes as cats will raise a razor edge to your throat
So burn the midnight oil and let the effigy roast
Don’t sleep

People will lie your face with a pearly grin
No matter what urban city your back wood ‘burb you in
Your best friends, pops, your own mom and your girlfriend
Will set you up, sell you out, bring you down, turn you in
Be a man, next to the same cat that you brawl with
Head bobbing to my song thinking it’s raw shit
He’s mad fake
He’s a traitor and he’s a damn flake
He’ll swear shit on the handshake
And flip like a pancake
Escape with your change while you dont follow clueless
All you boys ain’t the truest
Every crew has a Judas
Dont be the first to snooze in a room of opportunist'
?? ?? ?? ??
Now that’s just foolish!
For better ?? ??
Pricks and fellow thieves
Keep a shank on the hip and tricks in both sleeves
Believe none of what i hear and only half of what i see
And i dont trust nomotherfuckingbody but me


Dont sleep
What your back because your friends will be ghost
Don’t sleep
Keep a weapon and your enemies close
?? ?? ?? defending my post
Heard it one to many times so i could never be boast
Dont' sleep
Rumors flying that I’m a deprived as a beef
Black mail, record sales, lies and deceit
?? ?? you could see it in their eyes when they speak
Stab you in the fucking back and let you die in the street
Don’t sleep

Smoking cigarillos, scratch my five o'clock shadow
Up at the crack of dawn like I’m Tony Orlando
Yawn and blow out the candles, stroll down the block and back
Street creep, moonshine night out, insomniac
Long ago i slept walk to all dreams end
All the people that say they love you, but it’s all pretend (friend?)
While all your Unisoms and Tylenol PM's
Can't put me down enough to float me out to REM
To the heads i gave, that in return ripped out my heart
Kicked it on the ground and tore it up to a thousand parts
Your calm is out tomorrow, stormy days about to start
Its gonna come out of the dark and blow your little house apart
And on that day when the worms seek the sidewalk
I’ll be awake and watch them get ate by the nighthawk
Those old friends, new foes, those i once knew
Fuck you
May all of your nightmares come true

Don’t sleep
Frauds, connivers, money misers and cheats
Don’t sleep
Trail of tattletales lies and deceit
Cats will get you for your shit when your trying to eat
Bury the hatchet in your back and let you die in the street
Don’t sleep
Watch your friends and keep your enemies close
Don’t sleep
Drugs, lust, trust and treasury notes
Anything goes as cats will raise a razor edge to your throat
So burn the midnight oil and let the effigy roast
Don’t sleep
