2am up taking drugs till i sleep
Numbing all the pain
Getting lost in my dreams
Watching for the snakes
Vultures all around me
Crowding up my space
2am up taking drugs till i sleep
Numbing all the pain
Getting lost in my dreams
Watching for the snakes
Vultures all around me
Crowding up my space
And i cant breath
Crowding up my space
Why you all around me
I can feel the fake
No get away from me
Catching all the vibes
On the side with my team
Money keep comin up
Yea im counting green
Thumbing
Baby you know

Live a life like this
Yea its Something
Yea this rockstar shit i been doing
Yea baby
You know this the movement
Hey
Swing your hips side to side
Tell me is you down to ride
Tell me is it do or die
Baby tell me is you down to slide
2am up taking drugs till i sleep
Numbing all the pain
Getting lost in my dreams
Watching for the snakes
Vultures all around me
Crowding up my space
And i cant breath
2am up taking drugs till i sleep
Numbing all the pain
Getting lost in my dreams
Watching for the snakes
Vultures all around me
Crowding up my space
And i cant breath
What is it you want from me
What is it you need
It's 2am baby smoking on this green
Double cup dirty
Like my ruger
Plotting on the gang
Babe i just might shoot you
Whole clip full of hollow tips
Running wit my boys
Yea we running through the six
Oh yeah

Ay yeah yeah
Ooo ay yeah
2am up taking drugs till i sleep
Numbing all the pain
Getting lost in my dreams
Watching for the snakes
Vultures all around me
Crowding up my space
And i cant breath
2am up taking drugs till i sleep
Numbing all the pain
Getting lost in my dreams
Watching for the snakes
Vultures all around me
Crowding up my space
And i cant breath
The lyrics of H&H's "2AM" describe a protagonist who finds solace in his dreams and the use of drugs to numb his pain. The lyrics depict a sense of isolation and distrust towards the people surrounding him. The singer is wary of snakes and vultures around him, which could allude to the idea that he is being taken advantage of or preyed upon. The lyrics also indicate that the singer is counting his earnings, which hints at a life of fame and success. However, this success comes with a price as he feels suffocated by the people around him, and the drug use is a means to escape from his reality.
The lyrics capture the dark and isolated emotions that the singer is experiencing, highlighting a common theme in many modern hip-hop songs that detail struggles with addiction, mental health issues, and societal pressures. The use of repetition in the lyrics "2am up taking drugs till I sleep, numbing all the pain, getting lost in my dreams," creates a hypnotic and trance-like effect, which mirrors the state of mind that drug usage often induces.
