[Chorus]
Yo, yeah, yeah
Yeah, Abstract, haha
Alright, yeah
Don't sleep on me (Nah)
Don't do it
Don't sleep on me (Nah)
Don't sleep on me
Don't sleep on me (Nah)
Don't do it (Why?)
Don't sleep on me
My crew party all night, why? 'Cause they don't sleep on me
Realize what I write, don't underestimate the things I gon' be
Nah, don't sleep on me
Y'all be sorry if you ever ever slept on me
[Verse 1]
Sat down, looked into the reflection
What lies beneath my eyes even I get perplexed in
Even friends are gettin' mad 'cause they see my direction
I'm headed up? Yeah, above all the haters
Should I mention fuck you? That's for now and that's for later
Angry 'cause I actually got a scheme full of paper
Call me Ass-Crack, yeah now you're fuckin' cool
You're pounded again, you clit-ridin' tool
Everybody's so watered down so I 'cause waves when I hit the pool
Hate now, wave at me when I'm famous, you dumb fools
I just wanna make it though
Always kick the real shit
But the top is where I have to go
I'm kinda different 'cause Wyoming's where I'm livin', yo
But with these lyrics, I'm just hopin' that one day I'm gon' blow
I ain't gon' lie, I'm scared for my future
I know everyone worries, so time's a torture
[Chorus]
Don't sleep on me
Nah, nah, don't sleep on me
Don't sleep on me
My crew party all night
'Cause they don't sleep on me (Nah)
Realize what I write, don't underestimate the things I'm gon' be
Things I'm gon' be
Nah, don't sleep on me (Nah)
Nah, nah, don't sleep on me
Don't sleep on me
Yo, don't—don't sleep on me
Don't do it
[Verse 2]
Yeah, yo
Rocksteady, rock levies, I'm spittin' that incredi
While y'all talkin' bowl-hitting paper, ink ready
In my head is always full
Killin' beats with Audible
My flow is makin' goals, your score's lookin' like no
When I makin' millions, y'all be makin' ones
So hit the post, speak the fake shit
Y'all got that I Can't Believe It's Not Butter flow
Still, I'm the only one kickin' that real shit who on a roll
They tell me I don't work hard enough
I tell 'em motherfuck an honor roll
I'm the next one to be awarded as far as the honors go
[Chorus]
Don't, don't (Yeah)
Nah, nah, nah
Don't sleep on me
Don't sleep on me
Nah, nah, nah
Don't sleep on me
Don't do it
Realize all the things that I'm gon' be (Nah)
I'm gon' be (Nah)
Don't sleep on me, nah
Y'all be sorry if you ever took the time to sleep on me
Yeah, don't sleep on me
Don't do it
[Verse 3]
Yo, if you didn't know by now—
Yeah, I'm Abstract
Rip trick and stick those who be actors actin' mad wack
My soles are never fake, so you know I only kick facts
Guarantee to always keep it real, screw me with your record deal
Radio is wack 'cause no one's spittin' what they really feel
Kids do whatever it takes just to make another mil'
With that said, high school be kinda like the rap game
Act like the popular ones get automatic local fame
Nah, that's where it ain't the same
Real recognize real—can't say that I know your name
Act dumb, hide your pain, follow others like you in chains
Next day get up and brush it off, then do it all again
Ain't that the life, right? Nope, people, not quite
Life ain't goin' let you follow someone into limelight
So I spit the truth until I die
One side is sayin' "Word," the other side is askin' "Why?"
Tried to make everyone happy, got bored, got real eyes
Thought about what I was strivin' for, then I realized
It was the vent, they barely let my mind go
Let the bad things all fuckin' forget
Stop givin' a damn, got back the flow
Now I'm ballin' ahead to toe
Ballin' on a budget though
Still gon' rock them hella box logos
Step in the room, y'all get Chumby like pogos
Y'all read me wrong though, here's a box of Rodós
Yo, yeah, yeah
Yeah, Abstract, haha
Alright, yeah
Don't sleep on me (Nah)
Don't do it
Don't sleep on me (Nah)
Don't sleep on me
Don't sleep on me (Nah)
Don't do it (Why?)
Don't sleep on me
My crew party all night, why? 'Cause they don't sleep on me
Realize what I write, don't underestimate the things I gon' be
Nah, don't sleep on me
Y'all be sorry if you ever ever slept on me
