Octavian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I play them, but they don't know it
I'm running 'round in circles
Self diagnosis, it's psychosis
I'm a walking sensation
And they all see it
More time I pree'd it
Them man there are all with me
But you're still sleep
Catch me but you can't reach
Don't act like you don't believe in my team
Sit back, relax, and I pray
It's funny how they speak from the Lord
Them man ah try admit defeat (brrt, brrt)
Whenever I creep (whenever I creep)
Fell back out the (brrt brrt)
You man ah chat shit you ah say the most and do the least
Forever pissed off you can't do it like me (wow, w-whoa, wow)
Yeah, you man ain't got z
Back out the
Back out the (shh)
Niggas think shit, then when it goes (shh shh)
Taze in the ride with the woosh
Lack then somebody haffi get woosh, woosh
Young boy moving that kush
And I'm on the street, scub haffi get push
While I jump out the bush
Back out the (ssh)
And wipe my mink, the boy limbo
Get man up, if he didn't know now he deffo knows
The name Krim-bo
Told your girl
If she wants the pipe she can come and quickly get K-O'ed
Step correct with that Rambo
Barber, I'll shave a man's afro
Karma, I'll come round and splash splash
Then double back through the back roads
Whip it to crack, flip it to cash
Then we stack them racks
Little bro's only be in the shop
But you know that he still won't lack
Step on the ends like your bad
Then hold a 15 in and out your back
He never saw Will Smith
But he ran when he saw two Men in Black
We got beef with some serious nerds
Free my guys 'round the serious birds
The judge gave 007 twenty-two years
Cah they know he puts in serious work
Twenty step through your diligent town
In a ding dong whizzing it 'round
Spot him, spin it, 'round, Sku-dum Sku-dum
But you're still sleep
Catch me but you can't reach
Don't act like you don't believe in my team
Sit back, relax, and I pray
It's funny how they speak from the Lord
Them man ah try admit defeat (brrt, brrt)
Whenever I creep (whenever I creep)
Fell back out the
You man ah chat shit you ah say the most and do the least
Forever pissed off you can't do it like me (wow, w-whoa, wow)
Yeah, you man ain't got z
But you a still but you're still sleep
Catch me but you can't reach
Don't act like you don't believe in my team
Sit back, relax, and I pray
It's funny how they speak from the Lord
Them man ah try admit defeat (brrt, brrt)
Whenever I creep (whenever I creep)
Fell back out the
You man ah chat shit you ah say the most and do the least
Forever pissed off you can't do it like me (wow, w-whoa, wow)
Yeah, you man ain't got z

Octavian Krimbo's song "Sleep" is a rap/hip hop song that addresses the struggles of being different from others and trying to make it in the music industry. In the first verse, Octavian talks about how he is a walking temptation and a walking sensation, but people don't understand him. He feels like he's running around in circles, and he thinks he might be suffering from psychosis. In the second verse, he talks about how other people are "sleeping" on him and his team, and how they refuse to believe in their abilities. However, Octavian believes that someday they will wake up and realize the truth.
The chorus of the song is very catchy, and it repeats the phrase "But you're still sleep" multiple times. This is a metaphor for how people who are not believers or supporters are missing out on the potential greatness that Octavian and his team could achieve.
Overall, the song has a very positive message of pushing through adversity and continuing to believe in oneself, even when others don't.
