Song lyrics

[Intro:]
This type beat might be for the shit, though.
They doin' all kind of shit, uh.

[Chorus: JAY-Z]
I got numbers in my phone that'll never ring again
'Cause Allah done sent them home, and they'll never—
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 in my phone that'll never ping again,
I screenshot 'em so I got 'em, I don't want this thing to—
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 'em 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.
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—

[Post-Chorus: JAY-Z]
Sleep well, sleep well,
Lately I haven't been sleepin' well, sleepin' well.
Sleep well, sleep well,
Lately I haven't been sleepin' well, sleepin' well.
Sleep well, sleep well,
Lately I haven't been sleepin' well, I been—

[Interlude: Emory Jones]
I'm just vibin' out right now, you knamsayin', like, you feel me? Yo, 'cause it's— it's so good, right? 'Cause it's like, man, it's needed, you knahmean? Gotta finish them scriptures, mane! It's needed, mane, it's needed.

[Verse: Jay Electronica]
Eyes fiery, cry tears to my diary,
Sometimes a Xanny bar can't help you fight back the anxiety,
I go to my Lord quietly, teardrops on our faces,
Teardrops on my face, it's like teardrops become waterfalls by the time they reach my laces,
My eyelids is like levees but my tear ducts is like glaciers,
As I contemplate creation, the salt that heals my wounds pour out my eyes just like libations,
I can't stop my mind from racin'; I got numbers on my phone,
Pictures on my phone,
The day my mama 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 mamas,
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.

[Bridge: Jay Electronica & JAY-Z]
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 just towers like the Eiffel,
Sometimes I wonder do the trees get sad when they see leaves fell.
Sleep well,
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 sleepin' well, sleepin' well.

[Chorus: JAY-Z]
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.
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—
