The Roots - Sleep (Feat. Aaron Livingston)

[Verse 1: Aaron Livingston] Like when autumn leaves fall Down from the trees There goes my honey bee I’ve lost a lot of sleep to dreams And I do not miss them yet I wouldn’t wish them on the worst of enemies Let them burn, go from here Like when autumn leaves [Verse 2: Black Thought] To catch a thief, who stole the soul I prayed to keep Insomniac, bad dreams got me losing sleep I’m dead tired, my mind playing tricks, deceit A face in the glass, unable to admit defeat All that I am, all that I was is history The past unraveled, adding insult to this injury I’m fighting the battle for the soul of the century Destiny is everything that I pretend to be Look, and what I did came back to me eventually The music played on, and told me I was meant to be awake It’s unresolved like everything I had at stake Illegal activity controls my black symphony Orchestrated like it happened incidentally Oh, there I go, from a man to memory Damn, I wonder if my fam will remember me [Verse 3: Aaron Livingston] I've lost a lot of sleep to dreams And I do not miss them yet I wouldn't wish them on the worst of enemies Let them burn, go from here Like when autumn leaves
