I woke up out coma 2001 'bout the same Dre dropped 2001 Three years the album is done presents: Nigga Witta Attitude, Volume One Rap critics politickin, wanna know the Ready to Die, Reasonable Doubt and in one I like 'Pac after the Snoop Dogg trial was done Dre behind that G series and All on Me I watched the of a dynasty, so I told Vibe Magazine with Dr. Dre was a (dream) I had of makin a classic, then my world turned black Like I was starin' out of Stevie glasses It's kinda hard to imagine, like West Coming back his fatal accident to beatmaking and rapping But, we the future, Whitney told me that And gon' take more than a bullet in the heart to hold me back
Blushin' in 40 ounce, lettin' the ink from my pen bleed Cause Martin King had a (dream) Aaliyah had a (dream), Eye had a (dream) So I out to Kanye and (I brought you all my dreams) (Cause I love you, I you, I love you)
I had dreams of fuckin' a R&B like Mya When I saw that ass on the front of King the article in the magazine, she loved gangsters, loved nasty things So I'm in the house having nasty dreams Good girls give it up But is possible, if 50 fucked Vivica life's obstacles, found my way through the maze Then joy turned to like Frankie Beverly and Maze Used to dream of being Hype 'til I was crushed by Mays, almost let my pen fall asleep on the page Daydreamin' yesterday, dozin' off I thought I saw Eazy to Jam Master Jay So I over, heard Jam Master say "It's a hard life, then you pass away" They say sleep is the cousin of death, so my eyes open a dream is kin to your last breath
Blushin' in this 40 ounce, lettin' the ink my pen bleed Cause Martin Luther had a (dream) Aaliyah had a (dream), Eye had a (dream) So I reached out to Kanye and (I you all my dreams) (Cause I you, I love you, I love you)
The dream of Huey that's what I'm livin' through The dream of Eric Wright, that's I'm givin you Who walked the White House without a business suit Compton hat, curl drippin on Ronald Reagan's shoes Mike Lem my demo, came here to pay my dues Started off with Whoo Kid, then I blazin' Clue It was all a dream Big said it'd be Don't on me homey, I bring nightmares to reality Rap phenomenon, defyin' the rules of Studied all the classics, start my strategy Cause Marshall Mathers made it, Curtis made it Head in the clouds, wonderin' where the hell Gaye went How do I say I'm livin' for my son But I can't out, why I'm at my temple with this gun Wake up to a piece like a catholic nun The war to be a rap legend, has begun
Blushin' in this 40 ounce, the ink from my pen bleed Martin Luther King had a (dream) Aaliyah had a (dream), Eye had a (dream) So I out to Kanye and (I brought you all my dreams) (Cause I you, I love you, I love you)
