Sleep
SleepThe hazy days go to nights returning on and on
The eye in the sky that don't lie be watching all y'all
And the troublesome time filled anxieties just keep falling on
And a dream world line up in your mind just keep on calling y'allThe shining lights of stages after the show are faded
The crowd is gone away and now the dawning day

Gives way to creatures lurking, can hear the crickets chirping
Only the owls can see for this is when they start their preyThe homeless ask for quarters for shelter and some water
Say "Sorry not today" and turn and walk away
The busy street is empty, whistling winds are blowing gently
Listening intently to all of the things they have to sayA day of work completed, a night of rest is needed
Almost done read a book but eyelids to heavy to read it
The fireplace is kindling, snug with your queen and building
About the victories tomorrow's gonna bring your wayThe hazy days go to nights returning on and on
And the eye in the sky that don't lie be watching all y'all
The troublesome time filled anxieties just be falling on
And a dream world line up in your mind just keep on calling y'all{I hope that what I have written will be of some assistance}Gazing outside the window the sunny skies dwindle
And now it's full of stars, a hurling comet soars
While during the body slumber the soul begins to wander
To dream dimensions see the inner conscious doesn't pauseKeeps moving where it's bound to say now I lay me down to
After that stretch and yawn energy left and gone
The sandman's on your shoulder whispering in your ear he told you
Let all your problems go tonight I'm rapping hear my songA day of work completed, a night of rest is needed
Almost done read a book but eyelids to heavy to read it
The fireplace is kindling snug with your queen and building
About the victories tomorrow's gonna bring to y'allThe hazy days go to nights returning on and on
The eye in the sky that don't lie be watching all y'all
The troublesome time filled anxieties just be falling on
And a dream world line up in your mind just keep on calling y'allThe hazy days go to nights returning on and on
The eye in the sky that don't lie be watching all y'all
The troublesome time filled anxieties just be falling on
And a dream world line up in your mind just keep on calling y'allSleep

Gift Of Gab (Tim Parker) and Chief Xcel (Xavier Mosley) met at John F. Kennedy High School in 1987 in Sacramento, California and formed the group in the early 1990s. They released their first recording, "Swan Lake", on solesides records. The Solesides Crew consisted of the duo, as well as other friends of theirs they had met at University of California - Davis, including DJ Shadow, Lyrics Born and Lateef The Truth Speaker. The single was an underground hit, but label trouble prevented the duo from immediately capitalizing on their fame.

In late 1997, Solesides became quannum projects and in 1999 Blackalicious released the A2G EP, which served as a precursor to their debut full length album, Nia, which was released the following year. This was followed by a major label contract with MCA Records and the release of the critically acclaimed album Blazing Arrow in 2002.

In May 2004 Gift of Gab released his first solo album, 4th Dimensional Rocketships Going Up, but he assured fans that Blackalicious was alive and well.

A third full length, entitled The Craft, was released on Epitaph Records imprint ANTI- on September 27, 2005.
