[Hook]
Everyday I wake up in a daydream
Run in place, same routine, that's just the way it seems
Cause everyday I wake up in a daydream
To you it's crazy but that dream to me is everything
[Verse 1]
Can't stand this neighborhood, my perfect posture's good
These stomping grounds I barely stood, felt so misunderstood
But I acted fine, right? Snuck out like every night
I'd get so high I couldn't cry until my sister died
Fifteen with a big dream, she's the only one who meant a damn thing
Easy to be caught up in the little things, 'til you loose it all in a damn blink
What you mean I gotta go on? What you mean my kids'll never have an aunt?
I should pop the pills that y'all want me on so I could act like I listen when you babble on
[Hook]
Everyday I wake up in a daydream
Run in place, same routine, that's just the way it seems
Cause everyday's the same, I keep envisioning
Making good on all those promises she should've seen
[Verse 2]
Yup, that's just what I did
Every morning I'd hit each rudiment on that kit
Get up on the stage and play with the same intensity when she lived
Because I swear to God if our places switched I know that's what she woulda did
I even got the diploma she dreamed of from the same university
My past is both a blessing and a curse to me, what's worse to see
Is distance it disbursed between my friends and family
Conventional is boring, I'm sorry, I see my future differently
[Hook]
Everyday I wake up in a daydream
Run in place, same routine, that's just the way it seems
Cause everyday I wake up in a daydream
To you it's crazy but that dream to me is everything
