[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
