R U Sleeping
Indo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who are you
Is you red or blue
Imma start a riot, ain't a thing for you to do
Dried up all the land
Time for that monsoon
My heart's like playing cards and I'm just tryna shoot the moon
Turn the speakers all the way up to the top
Feel the bass when it drop
Hear the beat across the block
Never stop
Never try to take me for the guap
My team we sip the Goose and then we moving out the flock
Only time I run is when I'm runnin' up a check
You look like the type to buddy buddy up a fed
You look like the president who wanna see me dead
I'm the kinda guy to light a Wider to the head
Okay so who are you
Little bitch, tryna take me under
Call me Zeus
Take my chips I hit you with the thunder
Ain't no place to hide I'm lookin' for the under covers
I'm one out of one- there will never be another
Okay, who are you
Say it to my face when we be talkin'
Let me know before I put the nails into the coffin
Let me know are you the type to ride or get to walkin'
Imma tell you straight the world is mine to put a mark in (Yea)
I'm off the Henny out in Texas
6th is where we kick it, catch me in the intersection
Bitch I'm finna flip a switch and get to flexin'
Call me Darren Sharper how I pick the interception
Never steppin' I'm detectin' that you don't want any smoke
What you reppin'? See that chain around your neck? It's set to choke
When I'm hangin' out in Auzzie Land they say that I'm that bloke
Who you know
Bout to do it like Saddam 'cuz imma blow
Woah
I look for beauty in the eye of the beholder
I can change the colors of the world, it's on my shoulders
Try to stay the same but every day I'm getting older
And the look upon her face don't hesitate to grow colder
When she look my way I'm thinking maybe what could be
We all looking for the love that we see on TV screens
And maybe I'm romantic but I'm frantically searching
I hope it'll worth yearning for something picture perfect
No percs or bars I fly to Mars on marijuana
Don't play the clout, don't want Goyard or Ferragamo
Try to find the rose that grew from concrete, fuck if I know
Where it's at, but I guess I could test the waters, run a trail
I look for you but I can't answer "Who is me?"
Always wanting more when really all I need is peace
I went down the shore and lost my shades up at the beach
Now they drowning like my soul, gone somewhere at sea
The water's getting cold, I think it's gonna freeze
Now I'm trapped under the ice and you can't hear my screams
It's lust to just think with what's up under my dungarees
It's love when I just want for you to keep me company
I'm saying you 'cuz I don't even know your name
I wonder are you happy in the sun or in the rain
I wonder what you look like, I can't wait to see your face




Just pray you love me back, 'cuz I can't bear to take the pain
No more

Overall Meaning

The song "R U Sleeping?" by Indo is a rap that tackles different topics such as identity, love, and violence, among others. The first verse of the song immediately asks who the listener is and whether they are "red or blue." Indo then talks about starting a riot, implying the potential for violence. He then sings about his heart being like playing cards and trying to shoot the moon, suggesting that he is taking big risks. In the chorus, the singers are turned up high to "feel the bass" and "never stop" while also sipping Goose, which might refer to Grey Goose vodka. The rap then talks about running to get money and avoiding being caught by the police. He also implies that someone might be after him, referring to them as the president, but saying he would light a lighter to the head.


The second verse is more aggressive and confrontational. Indo questions the listener again and refers to his strength and power, telling them there is nowhere to hide. He also suggests that they are not genuine, implying that they might be trying to manipulate him or end his life. Indo then sings about being in Texas and going "off the Henny," which might refer to Hennessy cognac, before boasting about his ability to pick up interceptions like NFL player Darren Sharper. The rap then becomes more violent, saying that he can detect that the person does not want any smoke – that they do not want to fight – and referring to their chain as something that could choke them. Indo then talks about doing something like Saddam Hussein and blowing something up. The third verse changes the mood slightly, singing about beauty and love. Indo sings that he is looking for something perfect and that he wants to find someone who will keep him company. The song ends with him saying that he doesn't even know the name of the person he is searching for but that he is excited to find them.
