Lyrics of A.P.I.D.T.A. by Jay Electronica
intro
This ain't the right way for the shit, though
They doin' all kind of shit
Uh
chorus
Uh, I got numbers on my phone that'll never ring again
'Cause Allah done sent them home, and they'll never, uh
I got-, I got numbers on my phone that'll never ring again
'Cause Allah done called them home, so until we sing again
I got texts' on my phone that'll never ping again
I screenshot 'em so I got 'em, I don't want this thing to-
chorus
I got numbers in my phone that'll never ring again
I got, I got, I got
I got numbers in my phone that'll never ring again
'Cause Allah done called them home so until we sing again
I got texts' on my phone that'll never ping again
I screenshot 'em so I got 'em, I don't want this thing to end
chorus
I got numbers on my phone that'll never ring again
'Cause Allah done called them home, so we never sing again
I got texts' on my phone that'll never ping again
I screenshot 'em so I got 'em, I don't want this thing to-
chorus
Sleep well, sleep well
Lately I haven't been sleeping well, sleeping well
Sleep well, sleep well
Lately I haven't been sleeping well, sleeping well
Sleep well, sleep well
Lately I haven't been sleeping well, I been, uh
bridge
I'm just vibing out right now "Yo, say it like, you hear me?"
Y'know, 'cause it's, it's so good right?
'Cause it's like, man, it's needed, you know what I mean?
Gotta finish them scriptures man
It's needed man, it's needed
verse
Eyes fiery, cry tears to my diary
Sometimes a Xanny bar can't help you fight back the anxiety
I go to my love quietly, teardrops on our faces
Teardrops on my faces, like teardrops become waterfalls
By the time they reach my laces
verse
My eyelids is like levees but my tear ducts is like glaciers
'Cause I contemplate creation, the salt that heals my wounds
Pour out my eyes, it's like libations
I can't stop my mind from racing, I got numbers on my phone
Pictures on my phone
verse
The day my momma died, I scrolled her texts all day long
The physical returns but the connection still stay strong
Now I understand why you used to cry sometimes we ride down Claybourne
You just missed your, you just missed your mama
Now I just miss my mommas
verse
The clothes we wear to bed at night to sleep is just pajamas
The flesh we roam this earth in is a blessing, not a promise
I bow with those who bow to the creator and pay homage
chorus
Sleep well
Lately, I haven't been sleepin' well
I even hit the beach to soak my feet and skip some seashells
Sleep well
The lump inside my throat sometimes it towers like the Eiffel
Sometimes I wonder, do the trees get sad when they see leaves fell?
Sleep well
chorus
The last time that I kissed you, you felt cold but you looked peaceful
I read our message thread when I get low and need a refill
Sleep well
Sleep well, sleep well
Lately, I haven't been sleeping well, sleeping well
chorus
I got numbers on my phone that'll never ring again
'Cause Allah done called them home, so until we sing again
I got texts' on my phone that'll never ping again
I screenshot 'em so I got 'em, I don't want this thing to end
outro
I got numbers on my phone that'll never ring again
'Cause Allah done called them home, so we never sing again
I got texts' on my phone that'll never ping again
I screenshot 'em so I got 'em, I don't want this thing to-
