I woke up out that coma 'bout the same time Dre 2001 Three years later the album is Aftermath presents: Witta Attitude, Volume One Rap politickin, wanna know the outcome to Die, Reasonable Doubt and Doggystyle in one I feel 'Pac after the Snoop Dogg trial was done Dre behind that G and All Eyez on Me I watched the of a dynasty, so I told Vibe Magazine with Dr. Dre was a (dream) I had visions of a classic, then my world turned black Like I was starin' out of Wonder's glasses kinda hard to imagine, like Kanye West Coming back from his fatal accident to and rapping But, we the future, Whitney told me that And it's gon' take more than a bullet in the heart to hold me
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 reached out to and (I brought you all my dreams) (Cause I love you, I you, I love you)
I had dreams of fuckin' a R&B bitch Mya When I saw ass on the front of that King Read the article in the magazine, she loved gangsters, loved nasty So I'm in the glass house having nasty Good girls give it up But anything is possible, if 50 Vivica life's obstacles, found my way through the maze Then joy turned to pain like Beverly and Maze Used to dream of being Unsigned 'til I was crushed by Mays, almost let my pen fall asleep on the page yesterday, dozin' off backstage I thought I saw Eazy talking to Jam Jay So I walked over, heard Jam say "It's a hard knock life, then you 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 from my pen Cause Martin 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 love you, I 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 drippin on Ronald Reagan's shoes Gave Mike Lem my demo, here to pay my dues Started off with Whoo Kid, then I start Clue It was all a dream Big said it'd be Don't sleep on me homey, I bring nightmares to Rap phenomenon, the rules of gravity Studied all the classics, revisin' my strategy Cause Mathers made it, Curtis Jackson made it Head in the clouds, wonderin' where the hell Gaye went How do I say I'm livin' 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 this 40 ounce, 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 Kanye and (I you all my dreams) (Cause I love you, I you, I love you)
