From the stellar regions of the soul

Dreamin' dreamin'

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Baby we can do it take your time do it right

I was hearing melodies and rhythms through the night

This was a dream that felt real like a fight

What made it real was J Dilla was there in the light

A movement was happenin' H Brown was rappin' it

Kool G and Polo talkin' 'bout they back again

I seen Prince he was time travelin'

Through the Morris Days and Gladys Knights

Sheila E reminded me about the glamorous life

Ali was tellin' me why he had to fight

The struggle he never left so we could have our rights

Biggie and Prodigy told me to grab the mic

I was shook

No ain't no such thing 'cause when I touch dreams they become things

As the sun beams

I seen Queens like Latifah Chaka as I daydream with Aretha

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

It was all a dream

I was talking to Dr. King

He told me to dream in ways that the prophets dream

Like the one he had when nobody could wake him

Or Nelson Mandela when prison couldn't break him

Malcolm was in the window he said "As Salamu Alaykum"

Told Barak to rock the nation again he got my nomination

The population in prison was labeled as forgiven

This was a God dream hip-hop was our religion

Stevie's vision of ribbons in the sky

It's the good life we was livin' in the Chi

Seen Trugoy the Dove he begin to fly

Told him Pos and Mase De La will never die

Me and Yasiin was holdin' rappers at bay

One two checkin' niggas like back in the day

That's when Dr Angelou told me I should sing

A caged bird with brave words for higher things I got wings

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

I'm dreamin' dreamin'

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Dreamin'

Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you

I was sittin' by myself that's what drinkin' will do

I was nice nice as I escaped the mean world

I'm tellin' you you the supreme dream girl

If I could interpret the way Joseph did dreams

Then everyone would be as close as it seems

Whether I'm with a woman or a microphone

Ajile told me to dream but write my own

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Dreamin'

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

I'm dreamin' I'm dreamin'

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you

I'm dreamin'
