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.

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're sittin' on the shoulders but that's way too high.
Let's try not to step on the children,
The news cameras filmin'
This walkin' project buildin'.
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-by's 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,
Somethin to write about -
I still got some damage from fightin' the whitehouse,

Daydream -

For a couple of hours,
Such a beautiful day.

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 22s?
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-toe 'round creepin'.
I had to turn my back on what got you paid,
I couldn't see half 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...

Daydream -
I dream of you amid the flowers,
For a couple of hours,
Such a beautiful day...
