(Sleep at night)
All I do is cry (Is cry, ooh)
I love you, but love's so hard to do (Hard to do)
When it's loving you (Loving you)
I can't make you feel what I feel for you
Boy, you know I ain't perfect (Perfect)
But I know that I'm worth this
Fairytale ending sunset
Been waiting here real patiently
You came into my life
And, boy, you blow my mind
Now my world without you, baby
It just don't feel right 'cause
I can't sleep at night
All I do is cry
Thinkin' of you
Boy, I love you
But love's so hard to do
When it's loving you
I can't make you feel what I feel for you
Since the Kangol era, the Bill Blass days
Flagged in Brooklyn, I'm downtown by Fulton and Macy's
Light skin, green eyes, her thighs was amazin'
Big Bimmer, three-eighteen, she had it crazy
Used to have the crush when I was dustin' stage three
She hit me back fast, she dressed classy, paged me
Lit the L, was like, "Whatever, amaze me"
Shaolin Brooklyn boy, my shorty just changed me
Voice like Patti, heart of a wolf
I'm out the inner city lifestyle, I gave her my book
Call me a thief with a good heart who move with a fleet
Who dig pockets, sell crack, then back to them streets
Niggas used to get on us, y'all both meant to be
Now take the marriage route, put them carats on her now
Twenty years later, we free with three babies
This the key, loyalty, forever keep it G, one
Sleep at night
I can't sleep at night
All I do is cry
Thinkin' of you
Boy, I love you
But love's so hard to do
When it's loving you
I can't make you feel what I feel for you
She kept watchin' my arm, seein' rocks on it
Eight carats a time, dental game shinin' that the doc' ordered
Fresh as hell on the comeback, I jumped off the bullet train
Suede bucket, light gray straddler
Yeah, love, murder made me do it, the chick played me
I coulda swore I woulda seen it at day three
It was love from the jump, I woulda pumped for it
Now I'm lost, I'm flippin' at the Golden
Gate Bridge, yellin', "Jump from it"
Snap back to real life, the road is fog
The windshield wipers is broke, I'm in the Lago
And the tears and the beers, this is weird
To lose the only one who really cared about me when I wasn't there
One of the realest niggas left, I coulda lost it
Keep it trill, all real, you cost me
Nigga, now I'm rich and live alone
Love don't live here no more, I just smoke way in the coma
I can't sleep at night
All I do is cry
Thinkin' of you
Boy, I love you
But love's so hard to do
When it's loving you
I can't make you feel what I feel for you
