Dreams In a Basement (feat. Jill Scott)

Celebrating the win, celebrate what it meant

Do remember and celebrate it again

Right?, newly winners, we celebrate where it went

And sewn different, we celebrating the hem

Right, you sing along you celebrating the hymn

Bet 'em to prove me wrong you'll be celebrating their end

Tell 'em its crew first, we celebrating with kin

And fuck an E for effort, don't celebrate the attempt

My attempt be, everything the rent be

Call it hand in hand but a hand can't be empty

So I was in the basement sparring wit complacency

And my weaving got me off when it would tempt me

Sofa beds and dealing wit being better than all that you listen to

And feeling like its whatever as long as it get to you

For the nod and the doze and the open yawn

Shit is beyond what they hope, tell em no regards

Sometimes, I wonder will I ever sleep the same

Cause I, I let these dreams keep me awake

Said I need more, I just need more

Cause I need more, said I need more

So I dreamFor all the Grand Aves, all the Merrick & Lindens

All the Fulton streets, forever we did it

May we never forget it, nor what it took to be it

And for the taking when we take it like it took repeating

They took to me and, I took em home

I shouldered all of it, brave enough to look alone

Looking thru blinds tryna look for time, counting to hook a line

Tryna serve what you deserve but still cooking mine

Pint of Hennessy, tryna write a memory

Live it and forget it like tonight was like the end of me

Right?, in a basement loaded with ambition

Smothered by it they wanna eye it but can't listen

Sleeping wit the cousin of sleep and her hands vivid

Turn for the win but most of em can't pivot

For the nod and the doze and the open yawn

Shit is beyond what they hope, tell em no regards

Sometimes, I wonder will I ever sleep the same

Cause I, I let these dreams keep me awake

Said I need more, I just need more

Cause I need more, said I need more

So I dreamFor the sleepers, and for the dreamers

For the awake and everything that's between em

For the awake and everything they believe in

And when believing ain't enough, I be up

I be up on the other side, where the others tried

For the other ride, or otherwise

Otherwise I'll be sleeping here wit y'all

But dreaming ain't enough so if sleeping is involved

Ill be up, on the other side, where the others tried

For the other ride, otherwise, dreaming ain't enough, so I'll be up
