Up All Night by Kevin Anglade Lyrics
Roy Intro: I don’t know what this is. Is it a dream? Or is it a nightmare? All I know is…Is that I’m tired…I’m ready to give up…
Larry (Voiceover #3): Ladies and gents, The FC Company presents: “Cries…Of A Rose”
Chorus [1x]: I’m staying up all night/Without a light/Without my sight/Can’t make it right/I’m staying up all night/Without a plan/Without a dream/They stole my rights
Verse: Tell me what you think when you see me in the dirt/Like desert/Got me feeling like a cruff/And the pain from a thorn hit my stem now I’m torn which means that I’ll never be enough/Through the pain for the cane that they gained from my veins/Got me going through a slump as I’m shackled to the chains/About to lose my mind/You can call me Kurt Cobain/Swear to God this life is for the tough/Been going through a lot/Cause they wanna see me rot/So then my water spouts like a tea kettle pot/Moving with the grace of a Prime Autobot/But they’d rather give me three hots and a cot/Tried to make a movie/They don’t want to see a plot/Really wanna live/They would rather see me not/Got a lot to give but the pain is all I got/Push brothers to the margin like a dot/Gotta make a mil/I don’t want a tater tot/Feedin’ you thoughts with the ink is how I jot/Feedin’ you thoughts with the ink is how I jot/It’s time to share my story/So it’s time to make a plot/I’ve been living in a booth/Spittin pain like a tooth/Although I try to run/I can’t deny the truth/I wanna be a father/But I’m caught up in my youth/Now I’m not a man/Says my baby mama Ruth/Tryna make some money/And I know you want the proof/Promise I’m not lying/Swear this ain’t a spoof/Look I know you want me looking out for you and the baby/But if I save y’all/Who gon’ save me?/In America, this flick is crazy/Plight of the Black man is daily/I swear, I won’t let it faze me, faze me
Chorus [1x] up all night/Without a light/Without my sight/Can’t make it right/I’m staying up all night/Without a plan/Without a dream/They stole my rights
Roy Outro: They stole my rights…Without a light…I’m up at night…yeah…
