[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
