Sleepless Dreamers Lyrics

[Intro: Jupiter Jim]
Uh… uh… yeah…

[Verse 1: Jupiter Jim]
They say when you close your eyes
What you think about?
I know you have your moments
I know you have your doubts
I heard you ain’t picked a major
Is that a part of your confidence?
Is that a part of your ignorance?
Or a lack of your common sense?
Or you just like the rest of us
Who knows what the future holds?

Having headaches from thoughts of heartbreaks from future hoes
Life’s a test and me rapping’s like using notes
We’re far from being far away, but not super close
And that’s the moment you gotta decide
If this is real or something you can put aside
So get a job, it’s something you can put aside
You never know when it’s your time, you gotta look alive
They tell me look at the chances, you gotta face the truth
But the fact is, they don’t gotta wake up as you
You go to sleep with your dreams
Mine is making moves
Ain’t they getting impatient too
[Hook: Jupiter Jim]
And we ain’t slept in days, and we ain’t slept in days
I’ve been wide awake dreaming
How long is this supposed to take?
Told mom I want to be famous
She said it’s just a stage
This is my sanctuary, but to you it’s just a stage
How you dream with out sleeping?
Tell me what’s your secret?
How you dream with out sleeping?
Tell me what’s your secret?
How you dream with out sleeping?
Tell me what’s your secret?
You don’t need doubt to find out what you believe in
Oh…

[Verse 2: Jupiter Jim]
Remember we’d sit and talk for hours about the old times?
Even though we both know it could never be the same
It’s not a bad thing, girl we both changed
For the better
But you know it’s whatever
I been in and out of moods
You been in and out of dudes
Can’t define who we are, we just keep bending all the rules
You just think you’re so cool
Too cool for your own good
You say don’t worry about you, but I probably should
House of dreams, floor made of Hollywood
Take over the globe, shit, I probably could
She wish I was into passing the ball
But I’m more into rapping these bars

Uh, so many things is out of our hands
It’s so rare that our plans are actually ours
I understand if you don’t understand
I won’t make you wait up
I only ask that you don’t come later
Saying that you down like you want something later
And if you hate me, I hate you back
I know you got something smart to say to that
Girl I said we’re done forever…
But knowing me I’ll probably take you back

[Hook: Jupiter Jim]
And we ain’t slept in days, and we ain’t slept in days
I’ve been wide awake dreaming
How long is this supposed to take?
Told mom I want to be famous
She said it’s just a stage
This is my sanctuary, but to you it’s just a stage
How you dream with out sleeping?
Tell me what’s your secret?
How you dream with out sleeping?
Tell me what’s your secret?
How you dream with out sleeping?
Tell me what’s your secret?
You don’t need doubt to find out what you believe in
Oh…

[Verse 3: Jupiter Jim]
It’s nothing worse than loving someone you plan to be with
Then come to find out you’re more plan b-ish

And you look in her eyes, she ain’t mean to hurt you
And you can tell she really means it
That just makes it worse, too
And then you gotta face another truth
That you by yourself is not enough for you
Change so many times for girls you want to appeal to
Then look up and find out you lost the real you

But who cares? You just want your happiness
The only hard part is defining what happy is
Your dreams, your dreams, we all have dreams
All the unfulfilled souls, man, they all have dreams
Woe is the man that wakes up with regret
With a past that he wish that he could disconnect
They say I’m too young, I don’t get it yet
Guess I’m just looking through different specs
Uh, I figure I might as well do it
Especially if they are
Nobody on my level last time I check the radar
Never take a day off until I’m paid like Madoff
[Hook: Jupiter Jim]
And we ain’t slept in days, and we ain’t slept in days
I’ve been wide awake dreaming
How long is this supposed to take?
Told mom I want to be famous
She said it’s just a stage
This is my sanctuary, but to you it’s just a stage
How you dream with out sleeping?
Tell me what’s your secret?
How you dream with out sleeping?
Tell me what’s your secret?
How you dream with out sleeping?
Tell me what’s your secret?
You don’t need doubt to find out what you believe in
Oh…
