Ty Law - Slept on Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]Made a mixtape, it was greatnessThey gave me the praises and made me feel labeled to break in this game with no labelAnd maybe be famous for blazing and basically slaying these tapes, yeaBy 18 we slayed emMy brain became aimless for taking these statements from neighbors to heartMan they thought they were saving me from the unsavory life of an artistBut really they caging meThe creative me lays in a grave and he’s dying so painfullyResuscitate and then maybe we’ll take all the voltage that rain in and save em and boasts that he throws at opponents and wrecking em fatallyOkay, if this really the case for me, give me the electricity and the energyTrying to let it turn my inner chi, feel [?] to meI was checked out mentally, they forgetting meLike Jason Bourn’s memory, but eventuallyI‘ll be right back with more intensityI’m on an island by myself it ain’t BiminiIt’s just my room and anonymityI scribble these soliloquys with the imageryRip the beats, ‘til they dead like chivalryCause I’m about to return like yea you remember me?[Chorus]I’m ‘bout to rise from the ashes, I’ll admit I was tired of the rappingWasn’t really inspired by the classicsYou wouldn’t think you’d be finding me back hereSlept on meI had a dream and they slept on me, butMeanwhile I just crept on ‘emThey told me sit down but I kept runnin’[Verse 2]My boys hit me up, they like, "man you been ghost”I act like I ain’t understand them but ohLately it feel like I’m standing aloneAlone in my mind like [a fan in my room]Only go to work and then I come homeI am just trying to manage to blowStand on the banister with a gas canisterAnd in my hand are these flammable flowsI don’t even see my family no moreUnless I am over on Sunday for dinnerI told my mom I was doing the musicAnd her disapproval just damaged me soBut the pain helps you manage to grow, handle itTried to [pen and rap] man but it’s not vanishingI am ramping it up, man I’m a Bruce BannerWhat with new stamina, two stand in the booth ramblingLonger than two candidates who can’t really choose how to answer the news analyst in a room full of camerasMove in [a bands] until I’m a true championMind out the world and flew to the moon landingIn a huge canyon deep as a tomb grew and expandedAnd returned to me new and improved to do damage withThought I was done with thisBut something within me is really wondering if I could still do it, so I’m chanting this[Chorus]I’m ‘bout to rise from the ashes, I’ll admit I was tired of the rappingWasn’t really inspired by the classicsYou wouldn’t think you’d be finding me back hereSlept on meI had a dream and they slept on me, butMeanwhile I just crept on ‘emThey told me sit down but I kept runnin’[Outro]Vibin’, vibin’Started from the bottomA lot of em ain’t really been ridingBut I ain’t really worried cause I got it, got itAin’t they really can’t stop it, noNo they can’t deny it, noRemember when they slept on me
