Sleep Tight Lyrics

[Intro: Mikey J]
Out on the road we roll
Spending dough
Looking fresh from head to toe

Now word on street
Niggas heard
On the beat things is sweet
And I'm making dough
And they will run up in your grill
Put the gun up in your lip
Waste the ronie from the video...
So don't hate the player, hate the game
Hate the money, hate the fame
I ain't change... don't hate on me

[Kano:]
Sleep tight [x7]
Bed bugs bite [x3]
Sleep tight
Bed bugs bite [x2]

[Hook: Kano]
Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite
You'll be alright
While I'm tryna catch z's at night
You think that it's an easy life?
Fuck that I'm sleeping with my heat tonight
[Verse 1: Kano]
Yo, my sleep's like Nightmare On Elm Street
Beef with the ghetto Freddy

Tryna wake up, but it won't let me
Silent no music or telly
It's no longer Home Sweet Home
Stressed and brain's on overload
Even sofa dreams at home
I'm getting robbed by the robbers from Home Alone
I sleep with a heat at night
Close enough for me to reach if I
Hear something weird going on outside
Can't sleep with that shit on my mind

That's why I'm on my grind
Live everyday like it's almost time
I get the hood news, all those crimes
Gotta be the victim one day right?
Ask B I saw it happen
I saw the death before it happened
And even described the scene
And so similar it seems
So now everytime I dream
I take it ever so seriously
And that's why I'm prepared
See it's time for beef when it's time for bed
[Hook: Kano]

It's like my... worst nightmare [x5]

Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite
You'll be alright [x4]

Sleep tight

Close your eyes and pray to God that you're still alive
Sleep tight
Shhhh
Sleep tight

Close your eyes and pray to God that you're still alive
Sleep tight
Don't let the bed bugs bite
Bed bugs bite
Sleep tight [x3]
Shhhh

[Verse 2: Kano]
They say it's the cousin of the death
So I keep a knife right under the bed

Still watch my back when I'm in the ends
Til my time in the limelight's come to an end
It looks sweet when I'm the Benz
Back seat, just done with the press
Head back East
They see you, get mad about it
Fuck it, I might aswell brag about it

I know I'm such a humble kid
Music just having fun with it
I do this so I can better me
Not to make friends turn enemies
It must have been the deep end where they chuck you in
With no choice but to swim
Cause there ain't no one to tuck you in and say
Sleep tight
You'll be alright
Sleep tight
