Jill Scott - Dreams In A Basement lyrics

[Intro: Sample from Fresh] Chucky: It's quiet here Fresh: Yeah, I like to come here Chucky: It's lonesome, you know what's whack When I'm down with the posse or at home and sh** And everybody be screaming and yelling and sh**, it gets real lonesome It be like crowded and noise and screaming And suddenly it feels like I'm the only one there Fresh: The more people there is, the lonelier it get I have this dream Chucky: Yeah, like what Fresh: Nothing, sometimes I have it, that's all [Verse 1: Skyzoo] 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 they end Tell em its crew first, we celebrating with kin And f** 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 with complacency And my weaving got me off when it would tempt me Sofa beds and dealing with being better than all that you listen to And feeling like it's whatever as long as it get to you For the nod and the doze and the open yawn sh** is beyond what they hope, tell em no regards [Hook: Jill Scott] 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 dream [Verse 2: Skyzoo] For all the Grand Aves, all the Merrick and 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 with 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 sh** is beyond what they hope, tell em no regards [Hook] [Bridge: Skyzoo] For 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
