[English]

I know I dream about her all day

I think about her with her clothes off

I'm ridin' 'round with my system bumpin' LSD

I look for ways to say "I love you"

But I ain't into makin' love songs

Baby, I'm just rappin' to this LSD

She ain't a stranger to the city life

I introduced her to this hippy life

We make love under pretty lights, LSD (acid)

I get a feelin' it's a trippy night

Them other drugs just don't fit me right

Girl, I really fuckin' want love, sex, dream

Another quarter to the face system

Make no mistakes, it's all, a leap of faith for love

It takes a place in, feelin' that you crave doin' love, sex, dreams

It started in Hollywood

Dreamin' of sharin' love

My tongue at a loss for words

'Cause my feelings just said it all

Party just started up

Dreamin' of sharin' worlds

Held this feeling for way too long

Said, "I really wanna let it go"

I've been gettin' fly because the gimmick's so dope

I've been getting high 'cause I figured Lord told me

I've been drinking, driving, now we'll never go home

I gon' stay in doubt because the weather's so cold, oh

Feeling low sometimes when the light shines down

Makes me high

Can you feel it?

Can you feel it?

Feeling low sometimes when the light shines down

Makes me high

Can you feel it?

Can you feel it?

It started in Hollywood

Duh, duh-duh

Dreamin' of sharin' love

Duh, duh-duh

My tongue at a loss for words

'Cause my feelings just said it all

I look for ways to say, "I love you"

But I ain't into makin' love songs

Baby, I'm just rappin' to this LSD
