Chorus:
This is how I want to live
This is how I want to live
In my ideal dreamworld
My dream world aint some Pixar flick
In collabs with them Dreamworks pimps it’s just me and a pixie stick Rollin’ off a weed fix
Knee-deep mixin’ convo with a smart heady chick
Who’s spittin’ irreverent references
While we sippin’ on benevolent refreshments
Then I walk away / singin’ to myself
Said I walk away / singin’ to myself
Whistle Dixie, I got a pixie stick in my
Back pocket; touch it and I’ll sock you right in
Your left eye socket and I’ll lean in
Said I’ll lean in, and whisper with
A whimper: you can have my candy pimp cuz that
Punch just broke my wimp wrist and with a
Quick twitch, I’ll twist and toss you the
Pixie stick, see in this dream world I’m a beta bitch
And I’m okay with it, now we go cloggin’
Up my brain stems, I’m the Rat King of Friendship!
A real Pat Dean type misfit, sippin’
Shit til I lean fat off a spliff hit, yuh
Cuz in this dream world I’m a beta bitch
Said in this dream world I’m a beta bitch
In my dream world I’m a beta bitch
and I’m okay with it
yea I’m okay with it
(chorus)
Friendship swimming, coast highway pacific
Driftin' out oh shit I see shark get in position
Turns out it’s Jaws, he couldn't bite my bones
That's the thing about Jaws, he's like ninety years old
Wait, didn’t he die? but yo I brought em back
This is my dream world, my little shark attack
Me and Newman straight shroomin at the beach, that is
Jaws showed up with the peach bellini
I said “okay” Thad said “yes please”
Suddenly we’re faded off a peachy breeze
Jaws gnawin’ on my arm cuz he knows he’s harmless
Thad climbed down his gut and found some lucky charms
It’s okay to be cool with fools who drool
Sometimes they can’t help it, sometimes they skip school
I’d be lyin’ if I said I follow all the rules
I once smoked opium on the clock, and that ruled
Lucid Lucy my angel dream goose
Appeared to me in my sleep looking juiced
I said are you okay and she showed me her bruise
I said come here baby, we got nothing to lose
Me and Lucy eloped but it did not last
She’s a lucid dream goose and I’m a real ass
Even in my dreams it just didn’t work out
Cuz she had some sharp teeth in her little bird mouth, yall
