While They Sleep (feat. DJ Aarock, Edo Bushido, Asheru & Stephanie Gayle) [Remix]

Gotta earn your spot Black man get on your job Gotta earn your spot Black man get on your job Burning both ends of the candle has become a bad habit Tunnel vision for the future and the plan to go and grab it Ain't no punching in or clocking out, any pain you walk it out Laughing at my doubts like what the hell you talkin' 'bout I ain't come this far for me to be stoppin' now Sacrifice too much for me to not be poppin' now Built my future off my past, took a note from Dame Dash I ain't working for my first name, I'm working for my last It's 2AM right now, they upstairs, sound asleep I'm in the basement four to five nights out the week Cranking out the master plan, working through the vision I'm the captain of the ship, I dip and swerve it with precision Nonstop, 'til we reach the dock, pull it right up to the spot On a hundred acre lot, turn the key into the lock Only then can I relax, sit back and take stock Thankful for it all, what we had and what we got The stars form a sea As far as our eyes can see Kissed by moonlight at midnight While the children sleep I can't close my eyes 'Cause they're fixed on the prize Workin' all night, 'til I find That castle in the sky Oh oh ohhhh! I do my best work while they're sleeping Year round warrior, more than just a weekend Oh oh ohhhh! I do my best work while they're resting Blessin' it forever, I'm forever gettin' blessings Oh oh ohhhh! I do my best work while they're sleeping Year round warrior, more than just a weekend Oh ohhhh! I do my best work while they're resting Blessin' it forever, I'm forever gettin' blessings Win by any means the recipe, rest up when I rest in peace Stacking bars obsessively to fortify the treasury I ain't father y'all and you didn't birth or marry me Apparently, ain't got the time to care 'bout how you measure me Busy raising Queens in a world full of jesters To do amazing things with the tools they were blessed with Without a man approval, whether Trump or Mansa Musa When trying to make your dream come true, must protect it Til then, I'll be slavin' so our home remain a haven Built this business with their mama so it's theirs for the taking If they want it, they can get it, different plan then I'm with it I ain't just writing lyrics, every night I'm fighting limits Trying to push'em up, timing might be bad but it's good for us Food for thought and bellies after nights when I was cooking up That ain't good enough, I'm just trying to give'em freer lives Burnin' midnight oil while they sleep at night The stars form a sea As far as our eyes can see Kissed by moonlight at midnight While the children sleep I can't close my eyes, 'Cause they're fixed on the prize Workin' all night, 'til I find That castle in the sky Oh oh ohhhh! I do my best work while they're sleeping Year round warrior, more than just a weekend Oh oh ohhhh! I do my best work while they're resting Blessin' it forever, I'm forever gettin' blessings Oh oh ohhhh! I do my best work while they're sleeping Year round warrior, more than just a weekend Oh ohhhh! I do my best work while they're resting Blessin' it forever, I'm forever gettin' blessings Gotta earn your spot Black man get on your job Gotta earn your spot Black man get on your job
