Play "Lose Sleep"

Yes yes [?]

Come on

Yeah yeah, come on

I′m just here to push limits

Shit scared of heights but I stay on top of the game

Just to say I did it

Show young black kids that you can live it

Free your mind with it

Be proud of your pigment

I wasn't for a while

Too many times vilified

For being a shade different

Started hating myself

And all dark skin, playing myself

Charlie Sheen, two and a half men

Remember after school

Train station

Busta "Break Ya Neck" blasting

From iPod Mini

Thankful class finished

So I could go and play Majora′s Mask with

My little brother

When cops come up and start asking me

"Where you from? What you up to?"

"Oh, from Moorabbin?"

"That's half an hour from here. Not from around here

Boy what you selling

Where's your product?"

I hadn′t even touched drugs at this point

Except maybe a joint

But my skin fitted the description

So "oink oink had to be deployed

Next day at school told my friends the facts of how they treated the boy

They said I′m being crazy

'Cos to them black voices white noise

That′s the world that we living in

We seem to forget

The dark days of history yeah

Time will manifest

The endless possibility yeah

Open your eyes to see

The world is darker than it seems

So we dreaming on

(Dreaming on)

Enough with the crazy, crazy talk

Dave Chappelle taught me

The worst thing to call someone is crazy

Dismissing all the pain that plagues them in one word

Just to avoid confrontation with yourself

We prefer to sit on a chesterfield lounge

While microwaving

A meal by McCain and

Watching Australian Idol

Contestant failing

While the house that we're in is in flames

All because it′s the routine

(I dunno know about that man)

So when they say too deep

I say, but it's a reality

You′re too deep

'Cos I'm just using eyes, ears and newsfeeds

To get up to speed

Shit, only those that don′t read between the lines abuse these

Therefore I don′t lose sleep

Because I'm well aware that′s the world that we're living in

We seem to forget

The dark days of history yeah

Time will manifest

The endless possibility yeah

(The endless possibility)

Open your eyes to see

The world is darker than it seems

So we dreaming on

(Dreaming on)

Enough with the crazy, crazy talk

Open your eyes

Open your eyes

Open your eyes

Open your eyes
