I woke up out that 2001 'bout the same time Dre dropped Three years the album is done Aftermath presents: Nigga Attitude, Volume One Rap critics politickin, wanna the outcome Ready to Die, Reasonable Doubt and in one I feel like 'Pac the Snoop Dogg trial was done Dre that G series and All Eyez on Me I watched the death of a dynasty, so I told Vibe with Dr. Dre was a (dream) I had visions of makin a classic, then my world turned Like I was starin' out of Wonder's glasses It's kinda hard to imagine, like Kanye Coming back his fatal 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 this 40 ounce, the ink from my pen bleed Cause Martin King had a (dream) had a (dream), Left 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 dreams of a R&B bitch like Mya When I saw that ass on the of that King Read the in the magazine, she loved gangsters, loved nasty things So I'm in the glass having nasty dreams girls never give it up But anything is possible, if 50 fucked Hurdled life's obstacles, found my way the maze Then joy turned to pain like Frankie and Maze to dream of being Unsigned Hype 'til I was crushed by Dave Mays, almost let my pen asleep on the page yesterday, dozin' off backstage I thought I saw Eazy to Jam Master Jay So I walked over, Jam Master say "It's a hard knock life, you pass away" They say is the cousin of death, so my eyes wide open Cause a dream is kin to last breath
Blushin' in this 40 ounce, lettin' the ink from my pen Martin Luther King 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 Newton that's I'm livin' through The dream of Eric Wright, that's what I'm you Who through the White House without a business suit Compton hat, jheri curl on Ronald Reagan's shoes Gave Mike Lem my demo, came here to pay my Started off with Kid, then I start blazin' Clue It was all a dream Big said it'd be Don't sleep on me homey, I nightmares to reality Rap phenomenon, the rules of gravity Studied all the classics, revisin' my strategy Cause Marshall Mathers made it, Curtis Jackson it Head in the clouds, where 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 Jesus like a catholic nun The war to be a rap legend, has begun
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 love you, I you, I love you)
