Take Care in Your Dreaming

Take care in your dreaming and love when you can

You'll need it now

You'll need it now

Take care in your dreaming and love when you can

You'll need it now (Love how you breathe)

You'll need it now (Love how you sleep)

Take care in your dreaming and love when you can

You'll need it now (Love how you breathe)

You'll need it now (Take care)

Take care in your dreaming and love when you can

You'll need it now (Love how you breathe)

You'll need it now (Love how you sleep)

Take care in your dreaming and love when you can (Yeah)

You'll need it now (Love how you breathe)

You'll need it now (Love how you leave)

2011, my name came alive

At the same time, I planned my suicide

Literally, I would live lonely inside

On the physical side, all my miracles died

2012, guess that plan ain't go well

Out my shell, still I'm livin' in hell

Yet it was written, from God it was gifted

To give you a story that ain't hard to tell

2013, far from a pre-teen

But it seems that a nigga chased my dream

Making anything that the world has not seen nor heard

Moving words like verbs, curved

2014, when I turned nineteen

Sayin' RIP to my big bro Tree

And my girl TT, when she got gunned down

Now I'm back on road

'Cause I couldn't come 'round to the funeral

Let a whole year pass

Made an EP and the fans got mad

A lotta issues that a young man had

Just two years shy of a high school grad

2016, when the boy got mean

ULT embedded in my genes

'Round the same time I met X and Ski

If the Klan ain't hit, then we just might be

The ones to have it all in our reach

2017, I had no place to sleep

2018, Taboo One Three

Was the best shit people ever heard from me

When you get pure pain, I'ma just make heat

2019, been good and bleak

Cut off the locks, new looks, same me

Used to chase my dreams, now the dreams chase me

Take care in your dreaming and love when you can

(Chase my dreams, chase my dreams)

Take care in your dreaming and love when you can

(Love how you breathe)

(Love how you sing)

Take care in your dreaming and love when you can

(Chase my dreams, chase my dreams)

Take care in your dreaming

Yeah

South side of Africa, you ain't really heard of her

Mama was a daughter of a chief, make sense since

Royalty so skin deep, melanin carried through heaps

Papa was a soldier, built our whole life off his shoulders

Both were my pillars, yeah, I told ya

Both were a product of about ten kids

About ten needs, about ten feeds

Walking to school, it was about 10k's

Knees getting faded, hope getting faded

Aches, no lights flashing and flicker, it was a dream

Providing for they children, just to hope our souls beam

With prosperity, my parents, they took big care of me

Made sure opinions were heard 'cause it was scary

Middle kid tings, always lurking in the back

When I felt I wasn't heard, decided to take back

Take care in your dreaming and love when you can

(Back, take care)

(Chase my dreams, chase my dreams)

Take care in your dreaming (Yeah, nigga, I was a dream)

(Anything that the world has not seen, has not seen, has not seen)

(Was a dream)

Take care in your dreaming and love when you can

(Yeah, when I turned nineteen, chase my dreams)

(Love how you sing)

You'll need it now

Take care in your dreaming

(Take care, take care, take care, take care, take care)

Love don't leave

Love can't breathe

Love can't breathe

Breathe

Take care in your dreaming and love when you can

Love can't breathe
