Shattered Dreams
Earl Sweatshirt Lyrics
Imprecise words
Yeah, chief, get it 'cause we mean it
Ease up, free smokin', niggas need it
Mask off, mask on, we trick-or-treatin'
Back off, stand off, it's an anemic
Yeah, my nigga Ish, told him it's a feelin'
Blast off, buckshot into my ceilin'
Why ain't nobody tell me I was bleedin'?
Please, nobody pinch me out this dream
Psh, nobody tryna get it clean
Why ain't nobody tell me I was sinkin'?
Ain't nobody tell me I could leave
Yeah, we'd win again, seethin' within
Seen teeth on the floor, leakin' again
We hold the door, uh, we build the bridge
We hold the courts and the cease and desist
Take your fees, nigga
Please do aboard, I could feel when you're forcin' it
Still in a bore riddim
Boy, I take the tour chips and go and get some decent decor
Is you gon' live it, or will you jump?
Get some more ribbons for the born winners from the jump
Niggas don't listen to that, whole mission was a bust
No sit-up, but it's crunch time, shootin' in the clutch
The midsummer sunshine found me on my ones, face drippin', uh
Hate swimmin' through your bloodlines
Motherfuck a judge, same goin' to the one time, yeah
Come and take a stroll in the mud
If the toll winnin', heard the hammer like a grudge
We holdin' it close, we was on the cusp
It was holes in the boat, we ain't make a fuss
Uh, chosen
Imprecise words
Yeah, chief, get it 'cause we mean it
Ease up, free smokin', niggas need it
Mask off, mask on, we trick-or-treatin'
Back off, stand off, it's an anemic
Yeah, my nigga Ish, told him it's a feelin'
Blast off, buckshot into my ceilin'
Why ain't nobody tell me I was bleedin'?
Please, nobody pinch me out this dream

“Shattered Dreams” is the first song of Earl Sweatshirt’s long awaited 2018 album, Some Rap Songs.
Here, Earl introspectively discusses a variety of topics occurring in the years between his last 2016 track feature and his musical resurgence in 2018.
Earl grounds these discussions in what he describes as imprecise words – meaning he feels his words can’t do justice to the emotional weight of these experiences, a concept seen throughout the album.

SHATTERED DREAMS LYRICS
[Chorus]
Imprecise words
Yeah, chief, get it 'cause we mean it
Ease up, free smokin’, niggas need it
Mask off, mask on, we trick-or-treatin'
Back off, stand-offish and anemic
Yeah, my nigga Ish, told him it's a feelin’
Blast off, buckshot into my ceilin'
Why ain't nobody tell me I was bleedin'?
Please, nobody pinch me out this dream
[Verse]
I said peace to my dirty water drinkers
Psh, nobody tryna get it clean
Why ain't nobody tell me I was sinkin'?
Ain't nobody tell me I could leave
Yeah, we'd win again, seethin’ within
Seen teeth on the floor, leakin’ again
We hold the door, uh
We build the bridge, we hold the courts
Send a cease and desist to your thieves, nigga
Please do abort, I could feel when you're forcin’ it
Still in a bore riddim
Boy, I take the tour chips and go and get some decent decor
Is you gon' ribbit or will you jump?
Get some more ribbons for the born winners from the jump
Niggas don't listen 'til they whole mission was a bust
No sit-up, but it’s crunch time, shootin' in the clutch
The midsummer sunshine found me on my ones, face drippin', uh
Hate swimmin' through your bloodlines
Motherfuck the judge, same goin' to the one time, yeah
Come and take a stroll in the mud
Dip a toe in it, heard the hammer like a grudge
When you holdin' it close, we was on the cusp
It was holes in the boat, we ain't make a fuss
Uh, chosen
[Chorus]
Imprecise words
Yeah, chief, get it 'cause we mean it
Ease up, free smokin', niggas need it
Mask off, mask on, we trick-or-treatin'
Back off, stand-offish and anemic
Yeah, my nigga Ish, told him it's a feelin'
Blast off, buckshot into my ceilin'
Why ain't nobody tell me I was bleedin'?
Please, nobody pinch me out this dream

[Chorus]

The more u listen to this album the less overwhelming it is. It sounded so abstract and strange at first but now it flows rly nicely, it really grew on me
Michael Turner
Didn't seem that weird to me.
Ki Collins
you worded this perfectly
Carlos McAtee
Sir you just described earl sweat to the t💯
Morgan Martinez
I agree, on my first listening I was like "how can anyone appriciate this noise?" but after a couple more listenings it really starts to flow and make sense. This is an amazing piece of art.

“I said peace to my dirty water drinks. Tried to get it clean. Ain’t nobody tell me I was sinking, ain’t nobody told me I could leave.” That’s it. That’s it right there👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

It’s “I said peace to my dirty water drinkers
Psh, nobody tryna get it clean
Why ain't nobody tell me I was sinkin'?
Ain't nobody tell me I could leave”

inyrui people kinda stupid for going after you. You can still appreciate what an album has to offer without being a huge fan of the sound. Not everybody has the same ears. Personally, I think this is his second best album, next to idlsidgo
