Lyrics

2 a.m. is my bedtime in the summer time
A joker and a rapper spitting all kinds of rhymes
A king without a castle and a servant to please
With his crown on the floor begging on his knees

I wanna stay up all night
I wanna sleep throughout the day
I'm not gonna lie or deny
That I always wanna play

School sucks
But that's nothing new
If the teachers weren't subs
We would know what to do

123, a waltz around the ballroom
A triplet or staccato note
Played before the bedroom door is opened
To the promise land
Got milk for me and honey for my man.

Take me away
Take me away
Take me away before the world changes in my hands

Take me away
Take me away
Take me away, I promise baby you are the only man.

Tight rope
Walking
Screaming
Shouting for help around the bend.

African
Drumbeat
Moving
Mending the heart that I broke back then
That I broke, that I broke, that I broke back then.

Oh it's been a while
Since I've seen your smile
Under the sun
Or had some fun with you

And oh it's been a while
Since I've ran a damn good mile
A marathon
Has just begun with you.

Take me away
Take me away
Take me away before the world changes in my hands

Take me away
Take me away
Take me away, I promise baby you are the only man.

2 a.m. is my bedtime in the summer time
A joker and a rapper spitting all kinds of rhymes
A king without a castle and a servant to please
With his crown on the floor begging on his knees

I wanna stay up all night
I wanna sleep throughout the day
I'm not gonna lie or deny
That I always wanna play

Take me away
Take me away
Take me away before the world changes in my hands

Take me away
Take me away
Take me away, I promise baby you are the only man.
