Daydreamin
Lupe Fiasco Lyrics

I fell asleep beneath the flowers
I took a nap surrounded by beautiful flowers

For a couple of hours
I slept for a little while

On a beautiful day
The weather was nice and pleasant

I dream of you amid the flowers
I have a fantasy of you while I'm surrounded by lovely flowers

Such a beautiful day
It's a very lovely day

As I spy from behind my giant robot's eyes
I look out into the world through the eyes of my huge robot

I keep him happy 'cause I might fall out if he cries
I maintain my robot so that I don't lose control if it breaks down

Scared of heights so I might pass out if he flies
I have a fear of heights, so I could faint if the robot starts to fly

Keep him on autopilot 'cause I can't drive
I rely on the robot's automatic functions because I can't operate it manually

Room enough for one I tell my homies they can't ride
My robot is big enough for only one person, so my friends can't come along

Unless they sittin' on the shoulders but that's way too high
If my friends want to come, they can sit on the robot's shoulders, but that's too dangerous

Let's try not to step on the children
We need to be careful not to hurt any kids

The news cameras filmin'
The media is recording everything that's happening

This walki'n project buildin'
This is a rough neighborhood undergoing renovation

Now there's hoes sellin' hoes like right around the toes
Prostitutes are soliciting clients in the area

And the crackheads beg at about the lower leg
Drug addicts are begging for money in the vicinity

There's crooked police that's stationed at the knees
Corrupt cops are patrolling the area

And they do drive-bys like up and down the thighs
The police are conducting frequent drive-bys in the area

And there's a car chase goin' on at the waist
There is a high-speed police chase happening nearby

Keep a vest on my chest
I am constantly wearing a bulletproof vest for safety

I'm sittin' in my room as I'm lookin out the face
I'm sitting in my room, looking through a window

Somethin' to write about
I have something interesting to write about

I still got some damage from fightin' the Whitehouse, just a
I'm still recovering from a conflict with the American government

Now come on everybody, let's make cocaine cool
Let's glorify and normalize drug use

We need a few more half naked women up in the pool
Let's feature more scantily clad women in a pool

And hold this MAC-10 that's all covered in jewels
Posing with a heavily decorated MAC-10 gun

And can you please put your titties closer to the 22s?
Show off your breasts with the 22-inch rims in the background

And where's the champagne? We need champagne
We require champagne for the party

Now look as hard as you can with this blunt in your hand
Hold a cigar in your hand and look intently

And now hold up your chain slow motion through the flames
Display your chain in slow motion as flames rise

Now cue the smoke machines and the simulated rain
Let's add smoke effects and fake rain to the set

But not too loud 'cause the baby's sleepin'
Let's keep the noise level low because there's a baby asleep nearby

I wonder if it knows what the world is keepin'
I wonder if the baby realizes what's happening around it

Up both sleeves while he lay there dreamin'
There are hidden things up both of my arms while I wonder what the baby is dreaming of

Me and my robot tip-toe 'round creepin'
I stealthily move around with my robot

I had to turn my back on what got you paid
I had to stop doing something that was lucrative

I couldn't see half the hood on me like Abu Ghraib
I was blind to what was happening around me, similar to the infamous Abu Ghraib prison scandal

But I'd like to thank the streets that drove me crazy
I appreciate the experiences that led me astray in my past

And all the televisions out there that raised me
I acknowledge the influence that TV had on my upbringing
