i've been slept on for far too long
i guess they think when they wake up ill be gone
so they better stop sleeping
cause i ain't leaving i ain't leaving
you can't expect anyone to make it happen
so if they're sleeping in you better stop napping
the world ain't coming to you you gotta chase it
don't complain bout your life cause life is what you make it
so get up and get out if they'd something that you need
whatever you desire probably won't be for free
anything that's handed to ya really ain't worth much
don't be looking for cuts to lean on when its tough
with ya i'm for keeps its worth so much more
it takes time so be patient with what you're searching for
just let him know those that who hold you down
that you won't be held back at all stand your ground
i've been slept on for far too long
i guess they think when they wake up ill be gone
so they better stop sleeping
cause i ain't leaving i ain't leaving
hey i've been overlooked and i was passed over
but that was in the past man those days are way over
so call it take over yea the music's spreading
coast to coast to the top is where i know we heading
so we ain't halting falling off or dropping
we ain't go no where so you know we ain't stopping
cause no body thought we'd make it better call em in now
jon young and j cash yea we here now
i've been slept on for far too long
i guess they think when they wake up ill be gone
so they better stop sleeping
cause i ain't leaving i ain't leaving
