Dreams Lyrics - 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 

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 fucked 

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 fuck him 

Man I'm stuck 

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 

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
