Lyrics
(yeah) Mm. Still up. Paid in sleep, that’s the currency Late nights taxin’ what I used to be Alarm clock ring like it’s urgentin’ But my body talk back in fluency Eyes burn slow, but I’m wide awake Coffee cool on a paper plate Every win got a hidden rate Interest stackin’ when I hesitate Short fuse. Long week. Two hours down, still on beat Mirror say, “You look off.” I just nod — can’t call it defeat I told myself it’s temporary Sacrifice make the future airy But the future don’t show up tired And my present look worn and wary Paid in sleep That’s the fee I keep Every goal I reach Takes a piece of me Paid in sleep Still on my feet Chasin’ what I see But it’s chasin’ me Paid in sleep Paid in sleep Shoulders tight like a coiled wire Mind still runnin’ on quiet fire Smile sharp when they ask how’s life But the fuel light blinkin’ in the driver Strategic with it, I ration breath Calculate what I haven’t left Every promise I ever kept Cost a night I ain’t gotten yet Pause. Let that sink. I don’t fold, I just overthink If the grind don’t pause for health Who exactly I tryin’ to be? I told myself it’s the price of drive Dreams don’t bloom if you clock out five But what’s the point of a higher view If I’m too drained to feel alive? Paid in sleep That’s the fee I keep Every step I leap Cuts a little deep Paid in sleep Still won’t retreat But the peace I seek Feel out of reach Paid in sleep Paid in sleep What if the rest the flex? What if the pause the next Level of discipline? What if the strength ain’t grindin’ But knowin’ when to unplug the wiring Before it burn within? Paid in sleep Yeah, it follow me Every mile I lead Got a cost to keep Paid in sleep Still chase the peak But I’m learnin’ the peace Ain’t weak Paid in sleep Paid in sleep Still up… But I feel it now.
