Earl Sweatshirt - Shattered Dreams 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-offish and anemic
Blast off, buckshot into my ceilin'
Why ain't nobody tell me I was bleedin'?
Please, nobody pinch me out this dream
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 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 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
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
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

Earl Sweatshirt Shattered Dreams Comments
Bro this is exactly how being an alcoholic feels. Like that short lived DREEAAAM to bring you up but the overtone of his depressing raps. Like fuck alcoholism dude. Shits whack.
Earl built different foreal! Joint go hard!
I just came here to say good luck and pay homage
this that mysterious music aint it
This album sounds like it could play on a scene from Bojack Horseman
FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
The album gets better and sounds less abstract and weird the more you listen to it. That's phenomenal.

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

IMPRECISE WORDS.
I’m tired of people comparing shut the fuck up you’re ruining music and turning it into politics
After watching my life fall apart in 4 years its nice to hear what my current thoughts would sound like as music
This soothes my soul. Thank you Earl.
Who produced this beautiful track
Earl, DOOM, Guru, mos def and the WU TANG CLANN
I can’t comprehend how much of a strong disliking I have for this song, no offence to Earl
Why? Best song off the album

Everyone: im tired of rappers making squeaky clean, overblown mainstream rap songs; spitting bars laced with ego.
Earl: allow me to introduce myself
Check my music our
earl must be DOOM's another alter ego. This song proves it.
Scrambling in the pocket
Tubers for nutrition
Finna lay it done
Usurpers comments
Abridged
The album wasn't my cup of tea but I always come back to this bop
Words cannot describe this song 🔥🔥🔥
Rap game king krule
I recorded something to the Shattered Dreams instrumental if you guys want to check it out. Thanks love you.
https://soundcloud.com/lao_wai/dead-dreams
brot his song is deep!!! ver y gooD songg!!!
turn it up a little
Sha D stop flexin and start blessing ... If Jesus cold die then Cleopatra can lose her ame at sight
Drop another album
why ain't nobody tell me i was bleeding
album cover hurts my eyes to look at for a long time
What is that on the cover
Classic. Earl is top 5 lyricist of all time
He channeled his inner cam on this
imprecise words...
i used jack in the box's wifi to listen to this album
Thank you....ya boy Tyler on some weird shit
Buckshot into my cEIlin
I’ve been an Earl fan before he blew up, no I’m not hipster, but this album was long awaited and it fell short. Still love dude’s music. But damn..
Damn I actually really like this album. It took a couple of listens but it clicked. Sad that he never got to show this album to his father like he wanted to
Justin Bechmann Felt the same way when I first gave it a listen, thought its one of the worst albums I had ever heard. Second rotation had me addicted, then eventually it became one of my fav albums ever. Music is crazy like that, but I guess you got to be in the mood for it
Never rlly listened to this guy, starting to like him a bit more now ( dont rlly like this song tho tbh)
imprecise words
First time listening to earl.i saw him on vice had to check him out.sounds exactly like I pictured.
You should check out his older albums first
Ooooh,nice staff
Didn’t realize earl put out a tape! Finally some music I can relate too.
Peace god this one of them dirty water drinkers salute from Flint Mi.

Buckshot into my ceiling
So much better than Tyler's new album. No diss to Tyler this just brings it home for me.
truth bomb
Sounds like blueface
For some it might be hard to understand but these lyrics hit home.
