The up-tempo instrumental and jolly melodies in the song ‘daydream’ almost distract you from the fact that this is a song about suicidal thoughts and finding an escape from the harsh realities that Renne was facing at a younger age.
You can find the full music video to Daydream on YouTube.

[Verse 1]
I was that kid who never stayed awake in class-
Couldn't grasp, all the newest trends or the latest dance-
Too advanced for these niggas like I had a brain implant that would control my mind but still couldn't make me smart, uh
Wasn't that guy going round and breaking hearts
I was in between intelligent and ‘yo I pray to pass’
Fuck it I'll take some drugs so I can feel and make it last-
Or, I'll go take ‘em and maybe escape the past
My walk home was down memory lane, everyday, bust a right but still remember the pain
See I could move but it felt like I was mentally chained
It wasn't great, I just wanted to see heavenly gates, whoa
I'm probably getting too deep for ‘em right?
I should lay down count sheep in my mind
My day dreams getting peak every week is the same shit I ain't really sleeping at night but
[Chorus]
As I lay my head down I for get ‘bout stresses around me
I dream ‘bout purple clouds where rain falls down but never touches me
[Verse 2]
Imagining shit that wasn't happening, tryna change my dreams to realities and back again
I wanna make the world freeze like a mannequin and bring us all together every time that I grab a pen
Scribbling-thoughts tryna picture-applause for my work, the day I finally get my kicks-in-the-door
They ain't really hearing me though what i'm spitting-is-raw
It's like i'm making all the music they ain't listening for but fuck it
Painting pictures with my lyrics quite poetic-
Dreaming of a setting where I ain't got time for stressing
I'll just party man, with lava lamps and vibes ‘cos
This the type-of-record have you feeling psychedelic, ugh
So open up, tell me how you feeling
I got a plan underway I be scheming
So sorry if I missed your call it was the middle of the day and I was dreaming, deep it
[Chorus]
As I lay my head down I for get ‘bout stresses around me
I dream ‘bout purple clouds where rain falls down but never touches me (x2)
