Cousin Of Death
[Intro]
Yo I know it’s early but

[Verse 1]
I just can’t wait for the beat I got to much to say
To much pain in my chest makes me wanna stay away
Far away from the shithole that I live through everyday
And replay good memories of old times like yesterday
Time is going fast and I sure as hell am older
I’m almost twenty but that means thirty is on my shoulders
And as soon as that weight feels like a heavy boulder
I know that I’ll be forty soon I feel my movement slower
I can’t start thinking like this cause soon my life will be over
And I’ll be left wondering why the time wasn’t slower
But I hope that I can say that I had a long life
And I was able to survive through all the hard times
Man Juice only got to twenty-one before his time
He was only two years ahead of me and in the headlines
I wonder sometimes if that accelerated his deadline
But no matter rest in peace
You’re timeless in the meantime
Current rap will sent you up with all the wrong guidelines
Take me for example popping pills before bedtime
Don’t ever take a pill to get high kids
That’s how you get addicted to seeing the back of your eyelids
Not good
[Hook}
Cause sleep is the cousin of death
Cause sleep is the cousin of death
Cause sleep is the cousin of death
Cause sleep is the cousin of death
Cause sleep is the cousin of death
I’m not leaving life in debt
Cause sleep is the cousin of death
I’ve gotta move along and get out of this mind set

[Verse 2]
I feel like I’m alone with no one to talk to
No one in my corner so who do I turn to
When I’m backed in a corner  standing without a crew
Inner circle my ass no one cares about you
They only want to get on your song so they can get some views
Or in this case plays as they skyrocket through the roof
I’m not taking shots and this is not me trying to prove
Myself to anyone that I am close to
I’m only trying to say
That I want some validity and stability to my friend group with invincibility
So we don’t stoop
Or fall from the level that we end up climbing to
I just want you all as friends
I want to climb to the top
Homeboy I’ll never stop
The music that you’re hearing will be bumping nonstop
This ain’t a time for games it ain’t a time for gimmicks
So they better watch out when I say I’m coming for the critics
[Hook]
Cause sleep is the cousin of death
Cause sleep is the cousin of death
Cause sleep is the cousin of death
Cause sleep is the cousin of death
Cause sleep is the cousin of death
I’m coming for all the critics next
Cause sleep is the cousin of death
I’ve gotta move along and get out of this mind set

[Verse 3]
Call it a salad that I am finally addressing
I’m progressing through this rap and it’s time to make a confession
I don’t give a damn what you think if rap isn’t your profession
So you better keep your trap shut before you get my attention
I’m no longer being nice and it’s frankly overdue
To all my adversaries I’m about to peruse
Any clues that bring me any direction towards you
Critiquing your critique rapping circles as I spew
Listen closely to the words that’s bout to leave my mouth
You will never do it better than me without a doubt
I will always come out north you will always come out south
So you better think carefully of the words to leave your mouth
I don’t need your critique and I never asked for it
You’re on the losing team you should go ahead and forfeit
You’re basically the guy who felt like he was shorted
In life
Cause he knows that he will never be
Important
[Hook]
Cause sleep is the cousin of death
Cause sleep is the cousin of death
Cause sleep is the cousin of death
Cause sleep is the cousin of death
Cause sleep is the cousin of death
I’m coming for all the critics next
Cause sleep is the cousin of death
I’m Raking coals over the bodies that’s left

[Outro]
So you better hope that our paths don't meet
You better be praying
And if you don't believe that kind of stuff
Boy I'll make a believer out of you
Cause you'll be meeting your maker
Very soon
