Jay Machiavelli - Insomnia (Story of the Old Hag) Lyrics

Everyone has stress but you gotta let it go
Bills pile up better stack up some more
Working overtime living life by clock
Hand over hand feels like the time stop
Like I lost my whip I gotta pick up the pace
Because I feel like I'm running behind in this race
Down on my luck got me down on my money
Since I was young had my hands full no rummy
Playing with the cards that I am given
Had to be twice as good as my competition
I grew up and had to know what's what
Went through life seeing shit clear-cut
The past can make for a better future
And karma happens to be the best shooter
All about the money or how you make it move
Some of y'all livin' as an image til' it's true

Lived some life I've seen some demons
Wide awake, up all night dreamin'
Daytime probably still up schemin'
I ain't got no time for sleepin'
Probably up for the entire weekend
Up late plottin' and thinkin'
Motivated by the visions i'm seein'
You better off fleein' you can't fight the feelin'
Lived some life I've seen some demons
Wide awake, up all night dreamin'
Daytime probably still up schemin'
I ain't got no time for sleepin'
Probably up for the entire weekend
Up late plottin' and thinkin'
Motivated by the visions i'm seein'
You better off fleein' you can't fight the feelin'

No one knows how much I had to struggle
No one knows how hard I had to hustle
Flex on em' but I don't move a muscle
Got two hands so ya better learn to juggle
Been going off like you forgot to pay the bill
It's hot in Ville so it's getting hard to chill
Time is money so I'm multitaskin'
Countin' it up trying to see how it's addin'
Life's a wild ride so keep your seat belt fastened
Swerve around town don't end up crashin'
Thinkin' differently, I'm expanding my mind
Heart beats off the charts but I'm feelin' fine
Take a few things that aren't even prescribed
I hope the side effects are just as described
So I can stay up workin' all night
Work around the clock but got no time to write

Lived some life I've seen some demons
Wide awake, up all night dreamin'
Daytime probably still up schemin'
I ain't got no time for sleepin'
Probably up for the entire weekend
Up late plottin' and thinkin'
Motivated by the visions i'm seein'
You better off fleein' you can't fight the feelin'
Lived some life I've seen some demons
Wide awake, up all night dreamin'
Daytime probably still up schemin'
I ain't got no time for sleepin'
Probably up for the entire weekend
Up late plottin' and thinkin'
Motivated by the visions i'm seein'
You better off fleein' you can't fight the feelin'

Up all night gettin' everything done
I stay making moves I'm a man on the run
Can't afford to sleep no ones paid to dream
Sleep on the money, but don't sleep on my team
I'm always busy don't waste you're time on callin'
Kill it like Fortnite and gotchu all flossin'
Have you ever woke up paralyzed in panic
Your heart feels cold and you sink titanic
Can't move a demon's holdin' you down
Surprised that you woke up so you look around
Thinking' you should sleep more on the regular
But already know stress might get the best of ya
Growing up I learned all about sacrifice
Lose everything just to get it back twice
Everybody got opinions take ya own advice
Already know I'm not the only one thats up at night

Lived some life I've seen some demons
Wide awake, up all night dreamin'
Daytime probably still up schemin'
I ain't got no time for sleepin'
Probably up for the entire weekend
Up late plottin' and thinkin'
Motivated by the visions i'm seein'
You better off fleein' you can't fight the feelin'
Lived some life I've seen some demons
Wide awake, up all night dreamin'
Daytime probably still up schemin'
I ain't got no time for sleepin'
Probably up for the entire weekend
Up late plottin' and thinkin'
Motivated by the visions i'm seein'
You better off fleein' you can't fight the feelin'
