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