Daydreamin' (Lupe Fiasco Appreciation Thread)
« on: November 09, 2006, 04:30:28 PM »
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 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-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
Somethin to write about
I still got some damage from fightin the White House, just daydreamin


Chorus

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

Chorus



One of the best songs, if not the best rap song, I've heard this year. The first verse is utterly brilliant; ver y solid metaphor work there.

Lupe Fiasco has some amazing songs damn

We came through the storm, nooses on our necks
And a smallpox blanket to keep us warm
On a 747 on the pentagon lawn
Wake up, the alarm clock is connected to a bomb
Anthrax lab on a West Virginia farm
Shorty ain't learned to walk already heavily armed
Civilians and little children is especially harmed
Camoflouged Torahs, Bibles and glorious Koran
The books that take you to heaven and let you meet the Lord there
Have become misinterpreted, reasons for warfare
We read em with blind eyes i guarantee u there's more there
The rich must be blind because they didn't see the poor there
Need to open up a park, just close 10 schools
We dont need em
Can you please call the fire department they're down here marchin for freedom
Burn down their TV's, turn their TV's on to teach em


Now the poor klu klux man see that we're all brothers
Not because things are the same because we lack the same
Color that's green, now that's mean
Cant burn his cross cause he cant afford the gasoline
Now if a muslim woman strapped with a bomb on a bus
With the seconds running give you the jitters
Just imagine a American-based christian orginization planning to poison water supplies to bring the
Second-coming quicker
nicca, they aint livin properly
Break em off a little democracy
Turn their whole culture to a mockery
Give em coca-cola for their property
Give em gum, give em guns, get em young, give em fun
If they aint givin it up, then they aint gettin none and dont give em all naw, man, just give em some
If it's the paper, then these cops must be al-qaeda

It's like
Don't give the black man food, give red man liquor
Red man fool, black man nicca
Give yellow man tool, make him railroad builder
Also give him pan, make him pull gold from river
Give black man crack, glocks to teens
Give red man craps, slot machines...

Lupe is simply doing something different, and he's far more original and real than most of these fake ass minstril asshole rappers

Man, fuck you, you greasy tub.

Why go you gotta assume that's what I meant?

Ever hear of the Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, Notorious BIG or Tupac?

Oh hell yes, I love them myself. Sorry about that, but when people hate on backpack as if it has bad intentions, it kinda pisses me off.
