Story Behind the Song
Based on a poem I wrote about working hard towards ones goals. My sister likes to say, "I'll sleep when I'm dead." Because she had so much to do that there was no time to sleep.
Lyrics
“ 24/7 ”
24/7
24/7
24/7
that’s my routine
And I’m workin that hard for an American dream
When your dreamin for a brighter day to come along and take you away
To a place where money ain’t no worry and you play play play
no matter how I’m working
The days always seem shorter and more of a waste
Way too many things that I’m leavin behind on my plate
I’ve got to find a way to keep
Cramin it in, Crankin it out, Cramin it in, Crankin it out
I’ll sleep when I’m dead!
Sleep when I’m dead,
sleep when I’m dead
Heard it’s been said, sleep when I’m dead
Heard It’s been said
I’ll sleep when I’m dead
I’ll sleep when I’m Dead
24/7
24/7
24/7
even when I’m Party’n
24/7
24/7
24/7
Workin 24/7
Even when I’m party’n
Rubbin elbows for connections but I’m stayin cool and disciplined,
Catchin a vibe, Creating a buzz
Catchin a vibe, Creating a buzz
‘Cause its everything I’m striving for and everything my future holds
like graffiti signatures on subway walls
You can paint over me but
I’m not gone
I’ve been branding my mark on your brain
So I’m never quite out of your head mister.
So I keep Crankin it out, Cramin it in,
Crankin it out Cramin it in Crankin it out
I’ll sleep when I’m dead!
Sleep when I’m dead...
Sleep when I’m Dead
Heard Its been said
Sleep when I’m dead
I’ll sleep when I’m dead
I’ll Sleep when I’m dead
And my dreams are gettin closer so I’m Workin it
I’m Workin it
