Lupe Fiasco ft. Jill Scott “Daydreaming”
* Lupe Fiasco Sample: Daydream in Blue by I-Monster
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 wasDaydream
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….
J. Cole “Dollar and a Dream II”
* Insight on the music: In this song he talks about “Sallie.” This “Sallie” mentioned in this song is short for “Sallie Mae” the popular college loan company notorious for high interest rates. If you’re a J. Cole fan you’re most likely aware that he went to St. Johns University in NY, where he most likely used Sallie Mae loan company to pay for school . So no, “Sallie” is not an actual person. Mad props to J. Cole for being so clever
