Ever felt like someone was trying to bring you down just to make themselves feel better? Chris Brown captures that vibe perfectly. In this track, he's addressing an ex who's been badmouthing him to anyone who'll listen. He acknowledges her bitterness and lies but doesn't let it get to him. Instead, he points out that she's holding onto her pride and ego just to sleep at night. It's a mix of calling out toxic behavior while also showing some empathy because, in the end, everyone copes in their own way. #ToxicRelationships #SelfReflection
Sleep At Night
Lyrics
I know you've been
Tellin' everybody who will listen
That I ain't shit
I ain't been shit
But that's your perspective (oh, yeah)
And we know perspective's subjective (oh)
I, I
Don't blame you, baby
You lie (lie)
To show me, baby
That's okay 'cause you're gonna do what you wanna do (do)
Play it how you wanna, move how you wanna move (move)
I ain't gon' stop ya, say what you wanna say (say)
That's okay, it's okay
I guess you gotta do whatever helps you sleep at night (oh)
Hope you're comfortable layin' your head down on your pride (pride)
Holdin' on to lonely ego with your bitter lies
But whatever helps you sleep at night, at night
Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, no, no
Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
For the record, I
You know I called you on your shit, why?
Bringin' tainted vibes
Somethin' is off with your inside
Bitter Betty doin' the most (oh-oh)
Need to call a holy ghost (ooh)
So you can find a healthy way to cope (oh-oh)
Oh-woah
We both out here livin' different lives
Why you still tryna be part of mine?
After seven months of no reply
Bound to make me show that other side
That's okay 'cause you're gonna do what you wanna do (do)
Play it how you wanna, move how you wanna move (move)
I ain't gon' stop ya, say what you wanna say (say)
That's okay, it's okay
I guess you gotta do whatever helps you sleep at night (no)
Hope you're comfortable layin' your head down on your pride (pride)
Holdin' on to lonely ego with your bitter lies
But whatever helps you sleep at night, at night
Just go to sleep, baby (ooh)
What you gotta do is do
What's right for you and me, baby (ooh)
Oh no, no, no
Know you gotta be missin' me, baby
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Whatever helps you sleep at night
I can help with that
Whatever you want, girl, I got you
