Sleep When I'm Gone Lyrics - DJ Khaled

1 [Intro: DJ Khaled]

2 About to change the game

3 DJ KHALED!

4 WE THE BEST FOREVER

5 Cash Money, Young Money

6 I'm for real about this shit

7 Let's go

8 [Hook: Cee Lo Green]

9 I'm countin' my time, cause my time is my money

10 The sun goes down but I won't stop for nothing

11 Why close my eyes, I'd rather sleep when I'm gone

12 Sleep when I'm gone

13 Sleep when I'm gone (Gone)

14 I'm lookin' at the clock like yay yay

15 Naps to my treasure, yay ay

16 (Time's on the side, whoa)

17 Why close my eyes, I'd rather sleep when I'm gone

18 Sleep when I'm gone

19 Sleep when I'm gone

20 [Verse 1: Game]

21 They say sleep is the cousin of death, guess we related

22 Cause I'm the most slept on, and the most hated

23 Hated, hated by niggas with no hustle

24 Starin' at me in the club like I won't bust you

25 In the face with the spades, life is a card game

26 And I'm playin' spades, gamblin' with y'all change

27 Fuckin' basketball wives, while you at away games

28 Really fuckin' basketball wives, ain't gotta say names

29 Whole body tattered like a New York City freight train

30 Niggas get to barkin', put a bullet in the great dane

31 Try me, end up like why me?

32 Team full of animals, like I coach the heat

33 Four floor mansion, close to the beach

34 6 car garage, that's how I'm supposed to eat

35 In Miami, rolling up kush on boat decks

36 Flaggin' down the waitress, wavin' my Rolex

37 [Hook:]

38 I'm countin' my time, cause my time is my money

39 The sun goes down but I won't stop for nothing

40 Why close my eyes, I'd rather sleep when I'm gone

41 Sleep when I'm gone

42 Sleep when I'm gone (Gone)

43 I'm lookin' at the clock like yay yay

44 Naps to my treasure, yay ay

45 (Time's on the side, whoa)

46 Why close my eyes, I'd rather sleep when I'm gone

47 Sleep when I'm gone

48 Sleep when I'm gone

49 [Verse 2: Busta Rhymes]

50 Yo, I don't survive the test of time doin' this shit so long

51 And only rest to rise again homie, I sleep when I'm gone

52 Look, a legend while I'm prime, and so current and they hate this

53 The streets classified me as another level of greatness

54 I don't fight for crowns at all, I let whack niggas bitch

55 And let 'em flip while they debate on who the king of this shit

56 Listen, see I don't waste time debatin' over those things

57 Because I'm God motherfucker, God create kings

58 Watch it, I'm hearin' that a lot of niggas mad through the grapevine

59 The piano soundin' beautiful and sad at the same time

60 The feelin' of a funeral, so study you niggas

61 Khaled, provide the theme music while I bury you niggas

62 See now there's no escaping the God, you better find a get away

63 'Fore I start wiling like Haitians and Jamaicans when it's Labor Day

64 Khaled, every time you know we gotta make 'em love it

65 And realize every thing is hotter when we touch it

66 [Hook:]

67 I'm countin' my time, cause my time is my money

68 The sun goes down but I won't stop for nothing

69 Why close my eyes, I'd rather sleep when I'm gone

70 Sleep when I'm gone

71 Sleep when I'm gone (Gone)

72 I'm lookin' at the clock like yay yay

73 Naps to my treasure, yay ay

74 (Time's on the side, whoa)

75 Why close my eyes, I'd rather sleep when I'm gone

76 Sleep when I'm gone

77 Sleep when I'm gone

78 [Verse 3: Game]

79 Ayo Khaled, let this shit breeze

80 It's poor lil' rich nigga, that's me

81 Smoke comin' out the sunroof, blowin' on hasheesh

82 Can't stop now, cause I'm in too deep

83 1.5 wide, every 2 weeks

84 Niggas wanna kill me, let the shells fall out

85 Life is short, then please, my kids gon' ball out

86 They kids gon' ball out, 20 years from now, pullin' cars out

87 You gon' think cocaine gettin' hauled out

88 Ass gettin' chipped in, crystal meth gettin' dipped in

89 All cause you let a nigga slip in

90 Aftermath, '05, G-Unit, '06

91 Everything else is gymnastics, watch the dough flip

92 Sittin' on the couch, smokin' up memories

93 Pourin' Jack Daniels, toast to my enemies

94 Fuck beef, nigga I ain't got the energy

95 Take the last shot to the dome, John Kennedy

96 [Hook:]

97 I'm countin' my time, cause my time is my money

98 The sun goes down but I won't stop for nothing

99 Why close my eyes, I'd rather sleep when I'm gone

100 Sleep when I'm gone

101 Sleep when I'm gone (Gone)

102 I'm lookin' at the clock like yay yay

103 Naps to my treasure, yay ay

104 (Time's on the side, whoa)

105 Why close my eyes, I'd rather sleep when I'm gone

106 Sleep when I'm gone

107 Sleep when I'm gone
