Summer Evening

I never really had a proper say in the matter
My mother used to wonder how her son could be so bad but I was young and I was
reckless, I still make mistakes!
Learned to take my L and tell the real from the fakes
If there’s one thing that you left me it was never to accept
The things that we see everything has more depth
I remember in that room
You told me to keep learning
You told me watch my back, open my heart and be discerning for not all the
human beings in the dunyā fit the bill — they elected Donald Trump and they
love the criminals
The world, it still does not have peace — white people land to lease
They’re suffering in Burma and of course the Middle East
I know, I need to use my voice — the gift bestowed divine!
To help them make a choice and to live a better life and so I begin to graft,
as I perfect my art, and attempting to cope with the loss of your depart, uh
Mama I miss you! I wish that you could see
I’m gonna be a man with the love that you gave me and so as I do ascend beyond
the corner bend
I’m awake working at night because the struggle never ends — I can’t sleep!
No I can’t
Oh
Sleep
No I can’t sleep
No no no
No no no
No no no
Oh yeah
With the new profit holding
I’ll spur like the old me
I’ll dive till the clouds leave
I’ll swim till the ends deep
Yeah
Moon of the new me
You know the new me
I see the tide break
Switch like a movie
(Switch like a movie)
Yeah plot twist
Heart flip
Mind break
Heart ache
Love heals
Love takes
(Yeah)
Love takes everything
(Love takes)
Love takes everything
(Love takes it all)
And no I can’t
No I can’t sleep
(No no no)
(No no no)
(No no no)
No I can’t
No I can’t sleep
I can’t dream
I can’t breathe
I can’t think
I can’t feel
(I can’t sleep without you)
And I’m still
(Without you)
Wide awake
(Wide Awake)
(No no no)
Oh, wide awake
Oh, I’m still wide awake
