Daydreaming In Detention! Lyrics

(Verse 1)

We the ones they fail to mention
but the real ones always listen
Had to change up the mission
used to, DayDream in detention
Paint skies, I don't rap
I done been around the globe, put the city on my back
Drawing clouds in my desk, but knowledge still intact
teacher asked where I'm at, look up! Copy that
they ain't cut me no slack, detention it is
but it is what it is I'm not them other kids
I knew that I was different, granny called me gifted
nerd with the words, GBA, I preferred linguistics
Unscripted, grinding, kick flipping
skip dripping, I'm flowing this liquid
You tripping, get get with the program
thinking me and destiny with a slow jam
Will I ever stop? No chance
full tank, no E bro, old man
Got a hot 97 bars wrote and
the underdogs gone be quoting, yea!

[Chorus]
We the ones they fail to mention
but the real ones gonna listen
Dreaming in detention
Had to change up the mission
but I'm wishing
while I'm dreaming in detention
We the ones they fail to mention
but the real ones gonna listen
Dreaming in detention
Had to change up the mission
but I'm wishing
while I'm dreaming in detention
DayDreaming in detention
(detention!)
DayDreaming in detention
(detention!)
DayDreaming in detention
(detention!)
DayDreaming in detention
(detention!)
DayDreaming in detention
(detention!)
DayDreaming in detention
(detention!)
Had to change up the mission
but I'm DayDreaming in detention

(Verse 2) Writing raps should be learning
I was, but I was more concerned with
a Dream that I had in mind
While the sun do shine
peace sign, throw it 2 times
spit clean, old shoe shine
Far from stupid, I still got nice grades
but I'm Dreaming ‘bout lights, mic, stage
On a world tour, with Sublime my man
pretty girls, all them beautiful fans
With their hands in the air, knowing every word
every noun, every verb, we the coolest nerds
from the hood and the burbs, please don't disturb
and send me to the principal, instead encourage
can ya try, at least? I mean
I could be posted on the block serving fiends
but I'm not, I rather chase Dreams through the rhymes
and I'ma get there in due time
Can ya try, at least? I mean
I could be posted on the block serving fiends
but I'm not, I rather chase Dreams through the rhymes
and I'ma get there in due time
Wait, hold up, who break it down like that?
Sublime made it sound like that
Now we back in the vicinity, they ain't matching our synergy
Digi Destined your memories, every symphony simply divine
in your mind, rhyming through lunchtime
cafeteria bugging off of every punchline
I shine you shine, the primary suspect
kill a beat, blood sweat, counselor upset
Say I'm wasting my life
ironically you told me I was destined to write
I'm just doing what's right
Big chance I could fail, real close to suspension
but I'm still DayDreaming in detention
DayDreaming in detention
DayDreaming in detention
