[Intro: Twin Poets- Dreams are Illegal in the Ghetto]

I heard that dreams are illegal in the ghetto (Insomniac)
Don't you know that dreams are illegal? (Insomniac)
I heard that dreams are illegal (Insomniac)
But I...Am...Dreaming

[Verse 1: James]

This is not reality
I mean it is but it's hard facing whats inside of me (yup)
Take a look at my mind, you'll find just space and clarity
All white mother fucker with a plan to be
I'm in a daze, from all the weed
Insomniatic, I'm half asleep
I wake and bake, ease the stress
Never sleep, so fuck the rest
I'm turnt to the full don't turn me down
With some brews and my dudes and a few brunettes
Now close your eyes and try to imagine
What would life be like if I were to vanish
Straight off the planet, tell me could you manage
Without me bet you can hardly stand it
Wait stop
I'm just playin' man
On the playground playin' with the sandman
Like a kid raised right I'm with my fam
That's all I need I dont give a damn
And we goin ham, till 4 a.m. we goin in
Hand on the bible my words the truth
Won't sleep 'till we've all see the promise land

[Hook 1: James & Deen]

Insomniac, Insomniac, Insomniac, Insomniac
Day dreams are one big delusion
Fuck rest I got restless movement
And all I need is my music muse
And Ima do things I never dreamed I could

So my eyes closed (Insomniac)
But I'm wide awake (Insomniac)
I pray the lord (Insomniac)
My soul to take (Insomniac)

Still I lay awake cursed by my demons
Take my life and then hope I'm dreamin'
But my heart still beats,
Somebody help me to get some sleep
Cause I'm an Insomniac

[Verse 2: Deen]

When I came through it was open arms and laughin'
But now I hear em all they're backbiting behind me
You live and learn, and deal with how the tables turn
I bow my head and pray, the bridges we build don't ever burn
I'm young and blessed but still stressin bout academics
Money will come my biggest fear is being average
I know what matters, I've mastered manners
My dreams are big and my dress is dapper
Been given a lot, so of course I'm tested
Tryna be the best, it's like a race to the top
Uh, listen love, I'm young and suave call me Othello
These white girls crave a nigga like nutella, oh
And they mad, oh well I guess it's my bad
Keep catching Z's while I'm chasing dreams
And you'll never know what I have
Cause I'm a

[Hook 2: James]

Insomniac, Insomniac, Insomniac, Insomniac
Daydreamin' all days of the weekend
No sleepin' no one else can see it I'm a
Insomniac, Insomniac, Insomniac, Insomniac

Somebody wake me up. I must be dreamin'
From all this weed, somebody help me to get some sleep
Cause I'm an Insomniac

[Verse 3: Shaheen]

Every night, it gets harder to sleep
And relationships, they're hard to keep
But it's not just girls it's fam and friends
And all of them say I'm in too deep
So I keep my head and I stay afloat
No rearview when I hit the road
So ro-round we go like merry go
When the world so low gotta keep the hope
Got a lot to say, don't know how to say it
Girls these days really test my patience
Now she on her knees but nah she ain't prayin'
And those games you play really got me waitin'
For you to change, it's all the same
What's the cost if I'm going insane
Now I'm the madman livin' with the sandman
Countin' out each and every grain (ahh)
Rest my head and I'm flooded by my demons
Tell me what's the reason I'm seein' what I'm seein'
I toss then I turn and I freeze while I burn
All cause I can't quite shake this feelin'
Nah Shaheen man, just relax
Ease ya mind, you need some of that
Is it a dream or nightmare
I'm fallin' right back
Now I'm back in the sheets insomniac
