[00:31.68] |
She had a bad dream in the back seat |
[00:34.23] |
The same one as yesterday, the same one as last week |
[00:36.92] |
Surrounded by her favorite favorites |
[00:39.47] |
Elmo, Barbie, her purple baby blanket |
[00:41.91] |
And that little matchbox, looks just like Dad's car |
[00:44.66] |
Its fast on the leather, pretends its nascar |
[00:47.16] |
It jumps over Elmo cause it can fly that far |
[00:49.90] |
With Daddy in the front seat frontin like a rap star |
[00:52.65] |
And girl, oh girl, Daddy's the greatest |
[00:54.74] |
He knows the words to everything on the radio play list |
[00:57.79] |
He fakes the accent, even makes all the faces |
[01:00.18] |
And when he raises his voice it makes her feel like hes famous |
[01:03.38] |
Yeah Papa got his lean on, a mean one |
[01:06.03] |
Weavin down Lake Street tryin to get his scene on |
[01:08.41] |
Stoppin the whip to say something out the window |
[01:11.26] |
Bobbin his head to the beat on the radio |
[01:13.81] |
Good Daddy wont smoke no **** until the bass cradles her back to sleep |
[01:18.40] |
But he can steak his mack while she takes a nap |
[01:21.44] |
To the sweet pretty sounds of the gangster rap |
[01:24.39] |
The high hats are angles' voices |
[01:26.83] |
They keep her distracted from the strangers' voices |
[01:30.17] |
Escape is a paradox because the childhood is locked in that music box |
[01:35.16] |
Daddys drive around, Mommys work night *****ft |
[01:37.66] |
Sweet dreams, sleep little precious |
[01:40.40] |
Lay down in that music box, Escape in the sound of that music box |
[01:45.04] |
Daddys drive around, Mommys work night *****ft |
[01:48.29] |
Sweet dreams, sleep little precious |
[01:51.03] |
Lay down in that music box, Escape in the sound of that music box |
[01:55.87] |
|
[02:06.66] |
Yeah, Daddy knows people, hes important |
[02:09.15] |
The guy with the suit and tie they see at the court |
[02:11.45] |
And it seems like he ain't tryin to talk to police |
[02:14.03] |
But at the car wash they treat him like the star that she sees |
[02:17.37] |
They like Poppa's big wheels |
[02:19.07] |
And the lollipop she gets makes her feel like a big deal |
[02:22.22] |
Not allowed to have it yet, gotta sit still |
[02:24.41] |
Like the toy that she knows is gonna come with the kids meal |
[02:28.15] |
She loves drive-thru food |
[02:30.10] |
Health conscious Dad, he buys her the juice |
[02:32.71] |
A little sip of soda builds the pride |
[02:35.16] |
Go ahead baby-girl don't spill those fries |
[02:38.05] |
Nu-uh, Papa cant roll a messy office |
[02:40.59] |
Compulsive in the way she lay them napkins all across the seat |
[02:43.24] |
Never puts her feet up on the upholstery |
[02:45.69] |
Just kicks em side to side to the beat on the radio |
[02:48.99] |
She sings along like Dad does |
[02:51.23] |
She knows all the words but she leaves out the bad ones |
[02:53.78] |
Except "*****" she always sings the word "*****" |
[02:56.07] |
Cause it makes her daddy laugh, its her magic trick |
[02:59.02] |
And when Daddy picks Mommy up they fight |
[03:01.57] |
They fight about money, they fight about life |
[03:03.91] |
So she concentrates oh so hard on the music |
[03:06.75] |
And loses herself inside of the bass and the movement |
[03:09.54] |
Daddys drive around, Mommys work night *****ft |
[03:12.43] |
Sweet dreams, sleep little precious |
[03:14.93] |
Lay down in that music box, Escape in the sound of that music box |
[03:19.70] |
Daddys drive around, Mommys work night *****ft |
[03:22.75] |
Sweet dreams, sleep little precious |
[03:25.53] |
Lay down in that music box, Escape in the sound of that music box |
[03:31.43] |
Turn that Buick off |
