I up out that coma 2001 'bout the time Dre dropped 2001 Three years the album is done Aftermath presents: Witta Attitude, Volume One Rap critics politickin, wanna the outcome Ready to Die, Doubt and Doggystyle in one I feel like 'Pac after the Snoop Dogg trial was Dre behind G series and All Eyez on Me I watched the death of a dynasty, so I told Magazine with Dr. Dre was a (dream) I had visions of makin a classic, then my world black I was starin' out of Stevie Wonder's glasses It's kinda hard to imagine, like West Coming from his fatal accident to beatmaking and rapping But, we the future, Whitney Houston me that And gon' take more than a bullet in the heart to hold me back
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 you, I love you, I love you)
I had dreams of fuckin' a R&B like Mya When I saw that ass on the of that King Read the article in the magazine, she loved gangsters, loved things So I'm in the glass house having nasty girls never give it up But anything is possible, if 50 Vivica Hurdled life's obstacles, my way through the maze Then joy turned to pain like Frankie Beverly and Used to dream of being Hype 'til I was by Dave 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 walked over, heard Jam say "It's a hard knock life, you pass away" They say sleep is the cousin of death, so my wide open a dream is kin to your last breath
Blushin' in this 40 ounce, lettin' the ink from my pen Cause Martin Luther 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)
The dream of Newton that's what I'm livin' through The dream of Eric Wright, what I'm givin you Who through the White House without a business suit Compton hat, jheri curl drippin on Ronald shoes Mike Lem my demo, came here to pay my dues Started off Whoo Kid, then I start blazin' Clue It was all a like Big said it'd be sleep on me homey, I bring nightmares to reality Rap phenomenon, the rules of gravity all the classics, start revisin' my strategy Cause Mathers made it, Curtis Jackson made it Head in the clouds, wonderin' the hell Marvin 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 Jesus piece like a nun The war to be a rap legend, has just
Blushin' in this 40 ounce, lettin' the ink 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)
