In My Sleep lyrics

[Intro: Feist]
Easy
It go down easy
It goes down easy
It goes down easy
It goes down easy
It go down easy
It goes down easy
It goes down

[Verse 1: Tito Lopez]
They give a 'Real Talk of the Year' award?
Okay, so y'all wanna know what it's like for n*ggas rhymin'? ([?])
All they love is gold, but they force you to find the silver lining
And the playbook empty, done ran through every possible option
So blue-collar, man, they think I'm crippin' [?] Compton
[?] the check ain't went through ([?],) how 'bout the bread I lent you? ([?])
Got a few views on YouTube, guess I ain't got to pay rent too, huh?
Ever think you meant to do that one thing that you love to do?
So you take a chance, take the stage and the ground move up under you and you drop
And you keep fallin', keep fallin', feel like it's never gon' stop
And it's ironic, 'cause you're in this bottomless pit 'fore you get to the top
And the cold sweats, wakin' up still in the projects
No progress, this a dream or a nightmare? I don't know yet, uh
Then I get that call from my lil bro, he tell me I'm his hero
Just when I thought my life was screwed up like Texas, no, Z-Ro
Got a second wind and picked up the pieces, I'm a different species
Me and Connor: death before dishonor, holler at 'em, man

[Chorus 1: Jon Connor]
Here we go, yeah
I lock myself up in my room at night and pray to God
They told me, one day sh*t gon' change, but I felt this way for so long
I lock myself up in my room at night (Room at night)
Hope He hear me cryin' in my room at night (One more time, yeah)
I lock myself up in my room at night and pray to God
They told me, one day sh*t gon' change, but I felt this way for so long
I lock myself up in my room at night (Room at night)
Pray He hear me cryin' in my room at night (Here we go, yeah)

[Verse 2: Jon Connor]
Look
Ain't nobody gon' give you props 'til the world jump on your nuts
It's just that simple, by then you won't give a f*ck
All the nights you was by yourself, couldn't get nobody to pick up the phone
All the days you wanted to reach out, ain't nobody have arms that long
Had a dream I was back on the playground and I ain't have a care in the world
Haters won't let me breathe, like there ain't enough air in the world
All the nights I spent on this writing sh*t, it ain't fair to my girl
She ain't wanna let go, but I had to let go if I couldn't be there for my girl
I ain't ever by myself, always get beside myself
I really don't give a f*ck, but I guess I never really apply myself
It's just easier that way, 'cause people come and people go
Only thing constant is change, everything you see gon' go
I don't want you to feel my pain, feeling yours is hard enough
Find a reason to smile, yeah, I know that sh*t hard as f*ck
Reminisce on the things you love, give thanks for the things you have
Take a deep breath, look at where you at, follow my voice, let me bring you back, let me bring you back
[Chorus 2: Jon Connor]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I lock myself up in my room at night and pray to God
They told me, one day sh*t gon' change, but I felt this way for so long
I lock myself up in my room at night (Room at night)
Hope He hear me cryin' in my room at night (One more time, yeah)
I lock myself up in my room at night and pray to God
They told me, one day sh*t gon' change, but I felt this way for so long
I lock myself up in my room at night (Room at night)
Pray He hear me cryin' in my room at night (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Bridge: Chelsea Blair]
It goes down easy
It goes down easy
It goes down easy
It goes down easy
(It goes down easy) I'm running, I'm running, I been gone too long
I'm running, I'm running, I been gone too long
It goes down easy
And you can hear me crying
[?]
All those nights when I was on my own (What about me?)
Lord knows it ain't easy [?]
So I'm running, I'm running

[Chorus 3: Jon Connor]
Here we go, yeah
I lock myself up in my room at night and pray to God
They told me, one day sh*t gon' change, but I felt this way for so long
I lock myself up in my room at night (Room at night)
Hope He hear me cryin' in my room at night (One more time, yeah)
I lock myself up in my room at night and pray to God
They told me, one day sh*t gon' change, but I felt this way for so long
I lock myself up in my room at night (Room at night)
Pray He hear me cryin' in my room at night (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Outro: Feist]
It go down easy
It go down easy
It goes down easy
It goes down easy
It goes down
