It's 5am, my mind's a race Thoughts spinning like a record on a turntable base My brain's a battlefield, thoughts at war Like a stormy sea, waves crashing on the shore My mind's a maze, I'm lost in thought Like a puzzle, pieces scattered and distraught I'm trapped in my head, can't escape the maze Like a prisoner, locked in for days These 5am thoughts, they never cease Like a wildfire, spreading with ease I'm lost in my mind, can't find my way Like a blind man, without a cane to sway These thoughts are heavy, weighing me down Like a boulder, crushing me to the ground 5am thoughts, my brain's on fire Metaphors burning like a funeral pyre Similes colliding like a car crash My mind's a warzone, don't you dare ask 5am thoughts, they never leave me alone Metaphors and similes, they're my throne I'll keep spittin' rhymes, till the break of dawn This is my life, my art, my spawn In the wee hours of the morning, my thoughts start to flow Like a river overflowing, they just won't slow My mind's like a jungle, full of wild beasts I'm tryna tame my thoughts, but they just won't cease They're like a freight train, coming at full speed I can't keep up, I'm starting to bleed My thoughts are like a storm, brewing up inside
