The song’s message focuses on sleeplessness caused by public trauma, structural failures, and the demand for justice. It is ideal for playlists that center on conscious hip-hop, activism narratives, and emotionally charged reflections from the Nigerian music space.

[Intro]
Cracker, cracker, cracker, cracker
[Chorus: Cracker Mallo]
Insomnia
I no sleep, I no gree leave story ah
Dem do like dem no see
People dey cry
Aya, ya, ya, ya
Insomnia, Insomnia
[Verse 1: Vector]
I have so many sleepless nights
Still tryna hear stuff right
I just wanna stay lit
Whether I have to face my fight
Go facetime with the demons
Dig deep down for the light
Religion is way too perfect
It's not right, like
How does the man of God become the God of men?
Rich leader in a poor crowd, poor crowd
Does it mean I understand you better when you talk loud, but it's fine
Ginger for me make I see, eh
Demo fun wa ka le ri, eh
How do you stay so fresh?, yeah
Say your secrets ka le ji, uh
Kids collapsed with the building
But no one's responsible for the one responsible for the kids who collapse with the building
I mean they collapsed with the building
In the building, with the building
In the building, with the building
In the building, with the building
I mean they collapsed with the building
[Chorus: Cracker Mallo]
Insomnia
I no sleep, I no gree leave story ah
Dem do like dem no see
People dey cry
Aya, ya, ya, ya
Insomnia, Insomnia
[Verse 2: Vector]
Yeah
Dreadlocks in the Benz car
Destination is damn far
SWAT team at the end path
What the fuck you mean ENDSARS?
Don't you care about lives lost?
Don't you care about life's loss?
Don't you love your own children?
How would you feel if they knifed yours?
The way I feel when you shoot the boys
Assault riffle, shoot the toys
How did you feel when you saw it?
The videos and you saw a few more
The videos and you made blood art
The videos 'cause you drew more
All lies, shey na rumour?, abi
All lies, shey na rumour?, hmm
It's the headshots of the head shot
X-ray o le puro
Who came and stopped the party, turned the DJ and switched the party
Flag's with the green but the white's with the red
This is the movie instead
The facts nobody could grab
Fashola used his hands, wow
[Chorus: Cracker Mallo]
Insomnia
I no sleep, I no gree leave story ah
Dem do like dem no see
People dey cry
Aya, ya, ya, ya
Insomnia, Insomnia
