Dreamin' (feat. Pete Rock)

Common Common

From the stellar regions of the soul
Say what? Uh huh
Dreamin', dreamin'

Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you (Whoo)
D-d-daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you, you, you

Baby, we could do it
Take your time, do it right
I was hearin' rhythms and melodies through the night
This was a dream that felt real like a fight
What made it realer, J Dilla was there in the light
A movement was happenin', H. Brown was rappin'
And Kool G and Polo talkin' 'bout they back again
I seen Prince; he was time-travellin'
Through the Morris Days and Gladys Knights (Whoo)
Sheila E. Reminded me about the glamorous life
Ali was tellin' me: Why you had to fight?
The struggle, he never left so we could have our rights
Biggie and Prodigy told me to grab the mic (Yeah)
I was shook; now ain't no such thing 'cause when I touch dreams, they become things
As the Sun beam, I seen queens like Latifah
Chaka as I daydream with the reefer (Whoo)

Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you (Dreamin', dreamin')
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you (Dreamin')
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you (Dreamin', dreamin')
D-d-daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you (Uh)

It was all a dream; I was talkin' to Dr. King
He told me to dream in ways that the prophets dream
Like the one that he had when nobody could wake him
Or Nelson Mandela when prison couldn't break him (Whoo)
Malcolm was in the window, he said: As-salamu alaykum
Told Barack 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 (Wow)
Stevie's vision of ribbons in the sky
It's the good life, we was livin' in the Chi' (Chi')
Seen Trugoy the Dove; he began to fly
Told him, Pos and Mase: De La will never die (Come on)
Me and Yasiin was holdin' rappers at bay
One-two check the niggas like back in the day (Back in the day)
That's when Dr. Angelo told me I should sing
A caged bird with brave words for higher things, I got wings

Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you (Uh-huh)
D-aydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you (Uh, uh, uh, uh, dreamin')
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you (Uh-huh)
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you (Uh-huh, uh-huh. Uh-huh, dreamin', dreamin')
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you (Yeah, dreamin')
D-d-daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you (Uh-huh)
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you (Uh-huh, uh, uh, uh, dreamin')

Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you (Uh-huh)
I was sittin' by myself, that's what drinking'll do
I was nice, nice as I escape the mean world
I'm telling you, you the supreme dream girl (Mmm)
If I could interpret the way Joseph did dreams (World)
Then everyone would be as close as it seems (Yeah)
Whether I'm with a woman or a microphone (Uh)
[?] Told me to dream but write my own (Own, own)

Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you (Uh-huh)
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you (Uh-huh-huh, uh-huh-huh, dreamin')
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you (Say what)
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you (Say what, say what, dreamin')
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you (Uh)
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you (Uh, uh, I'm dreamin', I'm dreamin')
D-d-daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you (Uh, uh-huh, uh-huh, I'm dreamin', uh)
