Dreams in a Basement (Explicit) - Skyzoo/Jill Scott (吉儿·史考特)[00:00:00]
It's quiet here yeah I like to come here[00:00:02]
It's lonesome you know what's whack [00:00:08]
When I'm down with the[00:00:13]
Posse or at home and sh*t[00:00:14]
And everybody be screaming[00:00:16]
And yelling and sh*t[00:00:17]
It gets real lonesome[00:00:19]
It be like crowded and[00:00:21]
Noise and screaming[00:00:22]
And suddenly it feels like[00:00:24]
I'm the only one there[00:00:25]
The more people there is [00:00:28]
The lonelier it get[00:00:29]
I have this dream yeah like what [00:00:34]
Nothing sometimes I have it that's all[00:00:38]
Celebrating the win [00:01:03]
Celebrate what it meant[00:01:04]
Do remember and celebrate it again[00:01:07]
Right newly winners [00:01:09]
We celebrate where it went[00:01:10]
And sewn different [00:01:12]
We celebrating the hem[00:01:13]
Right you sing along you[00:01:14]
Celebrating the hymn[00:01:16]
Bet 'em to prove me wrong[00:01:17]
You'll be celebrating their end[00:01:18]
Tell 'em it's crew first [00:01:19]
We celebrating with kin[00:01:21]
And f**k an E for effort [00:01:22]
Don't celebrate the attempt[00:01:23]
My attempt be everything the rent be[00:01:25]
Call it hand in hand but a[00:01:27]
Hand can't be empty[00:01:29]
So I was in the basement[00:01:30]
Sparring wit complacency[00:01:31]
And my weaving got me off[00:01:33]
When it would tempt me[00:01:34]
Sofa beds and dealing wit being[00:01:35]
Better than all that you listen to[00:01:37]
And feeling like it's whatever[00:01:39]
As long as it get to you[00:01:40]
For the nod and the doze[00:01:42]
And the open yawn[00:01:43]
Sh*t is beyond what they hope [00:01:44]
Tell 'em no regards[00:01:46]
Sometimes I wonder will I[00:01:47]
Ever sleep the same[00:01:50]
'Cause I I let these dreams[00:01:52]
Keep me awake[00:01:55]
Said I need more I just need more[00:01:57]
'Cause I need more said I[00:02:03]
Need more so I dream[00:02:06]
For all the Grand Aves [00:02:09]
All the Merrick and Lindens[00:02:10]
All the Fulton streets forever we did it[00:02:12]
May we never forget it [00:02:14]
Nor what it took to be it[00:02:16]
And for the taking when we take[00:02:17]
It like it took repeating[00:02:19]
They took to me and I took em home[00:02:20]
I shouldered all of it [00:02:22]
Brave enough to look alone[00:02:23]
Looking thru blinds tryin' to look for time [00:02:24]
Counting to hook a line[00:02:26]
Tryin' to serve what you deserve[00:02:28]
But still cooking mine[00:02:30]
Pint of Hennessy tryin' to write a memory[00:02:31]
Live it and forget it like tonight[00:02:33]
Was like the end of me[00:02:35]
Right in a basement loaded with ambition[00:02:37]
Smothered by it they wanna[00:02:39]
Eye it but can't listen[00:02:40]
Sleeping wit the cousin of[00:02:42]
Sleep and her hands vivid[00:02:43]
Turn for the win but most of em can't pivot[00:02:44]
For the nod and the doze and the open yawn[00:02:47]
Sh*t is beyond what they hope [00:02:50]
Tell em no regards[00:02:51]
Sometimes I wonder will I ever sleep the same[00:02:52]
'Cause I I let these dreams keep me awake[00:02:57]
Said I need more I just need more[00:03:03]
'Cause I need more said I need more so I dream[00:03:08]
For the sleepers and for the dreamers[00:03:15]
For the awake and everything that's between 'em[00:03:17]
For the awake and everything they believe in[00:03:20]
And when believing ain't enough I be up[00:03:23]
I be up on the other side where the others tried[00:03:25]
For the other ride or otherwise[00:03:28]
Otherwise I'll be sleeping here with y'all[00:03:30]
But dreaming ain't enough so if sleeping is involved[00:03:33]
I'll be up on the other side where the others tried[00:03:36]
For the other ride otherwise [00:03:39]
Dreaming ain't enough so I'll be up[00:03:45]
Sometimes I wonder will I ever sleep the same[00:03:57]
'Cause I I let these dreams keep me awake[00:04:03]
Said I need more I just need more[00:04:08]
'Cause I need more said I need more so I dream[00:04:14]
