Curbside Jones Ecstatic
[Verse 1]
I wrote this 30,000 feet over the Earth's surface
Took a trip to Japan to further understand my purpose
Sleepless in Shibuya, told my wife to pass the ZzzQuil
Took a drag of that jet lag, now it's time to let that sleep spill
We counting sheep and yo
We counting sheep and uh
We counting sheep and uh
We counting sheep
I gave y'all honesty on my last joint glad y'all came out
Some won't appreciate it until the pastor sings my name out
I know that sounds morbid, acute depression still dormant
Tears of a clown, every days a performance
Shows don't stop for one monkey, gotta get that off my back now
About to start a family gotta speak through these raps now
Saw true beauty dancing with my mother for the first time
After my wife walked down the aisle wishing I could reverse time
I'm counting sheep for now
I'm counting sheep and uh
I'm counting sheep for now
I'm counting sheep
[Chorus]
I heard your real dreams come alive in the nighttime
You gotta get up and get yours, there ain't no right time
Open up your heart homie, and let your light shine
Yo let you light shine, let your light shine
I heard your real dreams come alive in the nighttime
You gotta get up and get yours, there ain't no right time
Open up your heart homie, and let your light shine
Yo let you light shine, let your light shine
[Verse 2]
I tried to see the light through the eyes of a seven year old
He asked why his grandma died and if heaven was in the clouds
I stopped him and asked, "What if we living in heaven right now?"
He said, "No... it's too ugly. Streets should be paved with gold."
So I closed my eyes and tried to picture his scenery
Tried to reflect on self and what does heaven mean to me
Kanye coulda bought his way into heaven but instead he copped a chain
Mo money mo problems grandpa copped our last name
My conscience asked me, "What you live for? What would you kill for? Is it a dollar bill or is there still more?"
Had to travel the globe to change the beauty I behold
So now when I close my eyes I tell him I see gold
Poured out a Calpico for those who couldn't make it as planned
Hiked a mountain in Kyoto but still couldn't touch your hands
You counting sheep forever
You counting sheep and uh
You counting sheep forever
You counting sheep
[Bridge]
Will you still be with me in the morning?
Will you still be with me in the evening?
Will I still see your light when I'm yawning?
Baby you got me fiending
Baby you got me fiending
As light bust through the clouds to clearly remind me you everywhere
Trap house, pavements, and burbs
My people let your light shine ya let your light shine
My people let your light shine, let your light shine
Will you still be with me in the morning?
Will you still be with me in the evening?
Will I still see your light when I'm yawning?
Baby you got me fiending
Baby you got me fiending
As light bust through the clouds to clearly remind me you everywhere
Trap house, pavements, and burbs
My people let your light shine ya let your light shine
My people let your light shine, let your light shine
