I woke up out coma 2001 'bout the same time Dre dropped Three years later the album is Aftermath presents: Nigga Witta Attitude, One Rap critics politickin, know the outcome Ready to Die, Reasonable Doubt and in one I feel 'Pac after the Snoop Dogg trial was done Dre behind that G series and All on Me I watched the death of a dynasty, so I told Vibe with Dr. Dre was a (dream) I had visions of a classic, then my world turned black Like I was starin' out of Stevie Wonder's It's hard to imagine, like Kanye West Coming back from his accident to beatmaking and rapping But, we the future, Whitney Houston me that And it's gon' take than a bullet in the heart to hold me back
Blushin' in 40 ounce, lettin' the ink from my pen bleed Martin Luther King had a (dream) Aaliyah had a (dream), Eye had a (dream) So I reached out to and (I brought you all my dreams) (Cause I you, I love you, I love you)
I had of fuckin' a R&B bitch like Mya When I saw ass on the front of that King Read the article in the magazine, she loved gangsters, nasty things So I'm in the glass house having dreams Good never give it up But anything is possible, if 50 fucked life's obstacles, found my way through the maze Then joy turned to pain Frankie Beverly and Maze to dream of being Unsigned Hype 'til I was by Dave Mays, almost let my pen fall asleep on the page Daydreamin' yesterday, off backstage I I saw Eazy talking to Jam Master Jay So I walked over, heard Jam say "It's a hard knock life, you pass away" They say sleep is the cousin of death, so my eyes wide Cause a dream is kin to your breath
in this 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 reached out to and (I brought you all my dreams) (Cause I love you, I love you, I you)
The dream of Huey Newton that's what I'm livin' The dream of Eric Wright, that's what I'm you Who walked through the White House a business suit Compton hat, jheri curl drippin on Reagan's shoes Gave Lem my demo, came here to pay my dues Started off with Whoo Kid, then I start blazin' It was all a dream Big said it'd be sleep on me homey, I bring nightmares to reality Rap phenomenon, defyin' the rules of Studied all the classics, start revisin' my Cause Marshall Mathers made it, Curtis made it Head in the clouds, wonderin' the hell Marvin Gaye went How do I say this? I'm 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
in this 40 ounce, lettin' the ink from my pen bleed Cause Martin Luther had a (dream) had a (dream), Left 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)
