[00:36.78] |
She had a bad dream in the back seat |
[00:38.73] |
The same one as yesterday, the same one as last week |
[00:41.41] |
|
[00:42.04] |
Surrounded by her favorite favorites |
[00:43.35] |
|
[00:44.29] |
Elmo, Barbie, her purple baby blanket |
[00:46.23] |
|
[00:46.78] |
And that little matchbox, looks just like Dad's car |
[00:48.79] |
|
[00:49.79] |
Its fast on the leather, pretends its nascar |
[00:51.41] |
|
[00:52.17] |
It jumps over Elmo cause it can fly that far |
[00:54.79] |
With Daddy in the front seat frontin like a rap star |
[00:58.05] |
And girl, oh girl, Daddy's the greatest |
[00:59.56] |
He knows the words to everything on the radio play list |
[01:02.24] |
|
[01:02.80] |
He fakes the accent, even makes all the faces |
[01:05.06] |
And when he raises his voice it makes her feel like hes famous |
[01:07.86] |
|
[01:08.93] |
Yeah Papa got his lean on, a mean one |
[01:11.05] |
Weavin down Lake Street tryin to get his scene on |
[01:13.31] |
|
[01:13.86] |
Stoppin the whip to say something out the window |
[01:15.80] |
|
[01:16.43] |
Bobbin his head to the beat on the radio |
[01:18.37] |
|
[01:19.49] |
Good Daddy wont smoke no weed until the bass cradles her back to sleep |
[01:23.05] |
|
[01:24.12] |
But he can steak his mack while she takes a nap |
[01:26.93] |
To the sweet pretty sounds of the gangster rap |
[01:28.68] |
|
[01:29.49] |
The high hats are angles' voices |
[01:31.68] |
They keep her distracted from the strangers' voices |
[01:34.50] |
|
[01:35.68] |
Escape is a paradox because the childhood is locked in that music box |
[01:39.43] |
|
[01:40.49] |
Daddys drive around, Mommys work night shift |
[01:42.74] |
|
[01:43.31] |
Sweet dreams, sleep little precious |
[01:44.99] |
|
[01:45.62] |
Lay down in that music box, Escape in the sound of that music box |
[01:51.00] |
Daddys drive around, Mommys work night shift |
[01:53.11] |
|
[01:53.74] |
Sweet dreams, sleep little precious |
[01:55.62] |
|
[01:56.62] |
Lay down in that music box, Escape in the sound of that music box |
[02:01.12] |
|
[02:13.18] |
Yeah, Daddy knows people, hes important |
[02:14.43] |
The guy with the suit and tie they see at the court |
[02:17.43] |
And it seems like he ain't tryin to talk to police |
[02:19.87] |
But at the car wash they treat him like the star that she sees |
[02:22.56] |
|
[02:23.56] |
They like Poppa's big wheels |
[02:25.18] |
And the lollipop she gets makes her feel like a big deal |
[02:27.80] |
|
[02:28.55] |
Not allowed to have it yet, gotta sit still |
[02:30.87] |
Like the toy that she knows is gonna come with the kids meal |
[02:33.56] |
|
[02:34.50] |
She loves drive-thru food |
[02:36.06] |
Health conscious Dad, he buys her the juice |
[02:38.74] |
A little sip of soda builds the pride |
[02:40.56] |
|
[02:41.37] |
Go ahead baby-girl don't spill those fries |
[02:43.18] |
|
[02:44.50] |
Nu-uh, Papa cant roll a messy office |
[02:46.87] |
Compulsive in the way she lay them napkins all across the seat |
[02:50.07] |
Never puts her feet up on the upholstery |
[02:52.46] |
Just kicks em side to side to the beat on the radio |
[02:54.76] |
|
[02:55.77] |
She sings along like Dad does |
[02:57.52] |
She knows all the words but she leaves out the bad ones |
[03:00.20] |
Except "bitch" she always sings the word "bitch" |
[03:02.51] |
Cause it makes her daddy laugh, its her magic trick |
[03:05.40] |
And when Daddy picks Mommy up they fight |
[03:08.21] |
They fight about money, they fight about life |
[03:09.84] |
So she concentrates oh so hard on the music |
[03:12.65] |
|
[03:13.27] |
And loses herself inside of the bass and the movement |
[03:16.47] |
Daddys drive around, Mommys work night shift |
[03:19.15] |
Sweet dreams, sleep little precious |
[03:21.52] |
|
[03:22.02] |
Lay down in that music box, Escape in the sound of that music box |
[03:26.34] |
|
[03:27.40] |
Daddys drive around, Mommys work night shift |
[03:29.40] |
|
[03:30.40] |
Sweet dreams, sleep little precious |
[03:32.09] |
|
[03:32.78] |
Lay down in that music box, Escape in the sound of that music box |
[03:37.05] |
|
[03:38.99] |
Turn that Buick off |
