[Chorus:]
Daydream,
I fell asleep beneath the flowers
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day.
Daydream,
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours,
Such a beautiful day!
[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
As I spy from behind my giant robot's eyes,
I keep him happy ‘cause I might fall out if he cries,
Scared of heights so I might pass out if he flies,
Keep him on autopilot ‘cause I can't drive.
Room enough for one, I tell my homies they can't ride
Unless they sittin' on the shoulders but that's way too high,
Let's try not to step on the children,
The news cameras filmin'
This walking project building.
Now there's hoes sellin' hoes like right around the toes,
And the crackheads beg at about the lower leg,
There's crooked police that's stationed at the knees,
And they do drive-bys like up and down the thighs.
And there's a car chase goin' on at the waist,
Keep a vest on my chest,
I'm sittin' in my room as I'm lookin' out the face,
Something to write about,
I still got some damage from fighting the White House.
Just a…
[Chorus:]
Daydream,
I fell asleep beneath the flowers
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day.
Daydream,
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours,
Such a beautiful day!
[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
Now come on everybody, let's make cocaine cool,
We need a few more half-naked women up in the pool,
And hold this MAC-10 that's all covered in jewels,
And can you, please, put your titties closer to the 22's?
And where's the champagne? We need champagne,
Now look as hard as you can with this blunt in your hand,
And now hold up your chain, slow motion through the flames,
Now cue the smoke machines and the simulated rain.
But not too loud ‘cause the baby's sleepin',
I wonder if it knows what the world is keepin',
Up both sleeves while he lay there dreamin',
Me and my robot tip-toed 'round, creepin'.
I had to turn my back on what got you paid,
I couldn't see, had the hood on me like Abu Ghraib,
But I'd like to thank the streets that drove me crazy,
And all the televisions out there that raised me.
I was…
[Chorus:]
Daydream,
I fell asleep beneath the flowers
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day.
Daydream,
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours,
Such a beautiful day!
