about

The second single off my upcoming album about America's racism and corruption.
This song is about the mental state you can fall into when people are filmed being murdered in the streets and the media still finds some way to twist it and cover it up. It is impossible for America to get away from it's racist past without tearin' it all down - and that SHOULD keep you up at night.

lyrics

Yeah I lie away for hours
But I ain't waitin' on no calls
I'm used to stayin' up for hours
I hear the voices in the hall
I hear you break down my door
Hear you run up the stairs
Break my shit and piss on my floor
Yeah, it's like you don't even care that you

Rob me
You rob me
You rob me of my sleep
Rob me every night
You rob me of my sleep
You rob me

When the death toll towers
I find it harder to sleep at night
As my point of view sours
I prepare to put up the fight
And when the cops become cowards
I find it harder to get out of bed
I try to keep my thoughts inward
But they're blowin' up my head

(Cuz you rob me)
No, I can't sleep
Every night
I lay awake and think of what to do
A little more Malcolm, a little more Martin
Should I buy a gun or tell you that I love you?

When you rob me
You rob me
You rob me of my sleep
Rob me every night
Rob me of my sleep
You rob me
