john lennon
imagine
how do you sleep
groovy smithy
Story behind the song
I heard this awesome John Lennon instrumental and thought "Damn, I could rap over that" so I did.
Lyrics
Wake up in the morning and I check the news
Another kid's been shot, cop's power abused
This kinda crazy shit's happening all the time
I think it's pretty clear who's really in charge of all this crime
Nancy Grace tryin' to blame the pot
For all the innocent people who are gettin' shot
I mean come on, that's crazy, that's fuckin' insane
I think we all know who's really to blame
The men in blue you're supposed trust
Are the ones that are really the most unjust
Oh
How do I sleep?
Oh
How do I sleep at night?
Another kid's dead 'cause he's got no food
And you're wondering why I'm always in such a bad mood
I hear about this shit like every single day
It's no wonder that I've got nothing good to say
And no one seems to give a fuck
They're only worried 'bout their money and their cars and trucks
And their Hollywood idols always caught in scandals
They don't care about thieves, murderers, and vandals
If it don't affect them then they've got no handle
Oh
How do I sleep?
Oh
How do I sleep at night?
This world's a pretty fucked up place
John's been gone now it's time that he gets replaced
I think I can do the job well
I want peace but I'm not afraid to raise some hell
I see no changes, all I see is racist faces
And I don't know why
But it's time that changed
We should live in unity before we die
Oh
How do I sleep?
