Dreams - Krept & Konan/Ed Sheeran (艾德·希蘭)

Stuck between a rock and a hard place

Calling it over thinking of your sleep

How can I do it if I try

I should have known it from the last time

One can dream

I saw a young g sitting on the wall

Had a gun in his bag on the way from school

I told him if you get life you're a fool

Then he said something that stuck with me

He said I'd rather do life than have none at all

He said krept you made it out fam you're cool

He said me I slip once then I'm through

You'd do the same if you was in my shoes

I said bro I'm just tryna keep you alive

I'm sick of funerals another suit and tie

How do you expect me to tell a young g

Put down the guns that could be suicide

For him it's kill or be killed fam it's do or die

He said krept I don't even like this stuff

But I'm in too deep I'm kinda f**ked

I can't think straight when man are tryna line me up

Just visited my boy today doing life for a crime where he didn't do shit

He said krept what's good how's the music

Didn't wanna gass it up too much

You know he's stuck doing life he might lose it

Wishing he was out living life for the movement

When the mobos said we were the winners he told the whole jail brap that's my niggas

Happy but heartbroken at the same time cause he knows he would have been on the stage with us

Man this cold world could be so vicious

Put your hands together and pray with us

Need to see my family more

So busy that they probably think that I don't love 'em

Probably telling people I forgot about my cousins

He's gone to hollywood now man so f**k him

Man I'm stuck

Sheeran

Stuck between a rock and a hard place

Calling it over thinking of your sleep

How can I do it if I try

I should have known it from the last time

One can dream

Caught up in the same things is giving me life

One can dream

My mind will erase these memories say goodbye

In new york I met my big sis for the first time imagine that

I'm 24 it's the first time she sees me

Before he died promised dad that she'd meet me

I know it ain't been easy and I can't stay for the whole night

She hugged me with tears in her eyes

And said she wished that he still was alive

She said your mum sent you jamaica

She told me you came back ill

Yeah I know you ain't been back still

But you know your friend over there got killed

I know she always had love for me

Then she said something that stuck with me

Dad said you gotta keep the music alive

Then she gave the the look like it's up to me

It hit me hard didn't show it though

Thinking 'bout it on the plane going home

Growing up without my dad ever round

It's on me and I can't let him down

Before I stepped out the house

My niece said make sure you come back again

Then I started thinking 'bout the hearts that I broke

Praying that the karma don't come back on them

We spoke about everything

And how his wife's tryna take everything

All the inheritance

All because he gave her a wedding ring

So god forgive me for the minor things

Cause you'll risk everything when you're tryna win

And I can't go back but the more I move forward

The more I start losing the sight of things

Dream chasing

Chorus ed sheeran

Stuck between a rock and a hard place

Calling it over thinking of your sleep

How can I do it if I try

I should have known it from the last time

One can dream

Caught up in the same things is giving me life

One can dream

My mind will erase these memories say goodbye

One can dream
