I up out that coma 2001 'bout the time Dre dropped 2001 years later the album is done Aftermath Nigga Witta Attitude, Volume One Rap critics politickin, wanna know the Ready to Die, Reasonable and Doggystyle in one I feel like after the Snoop Dogg trial was done Dre behind G series and All Eyez on Me I watched the death of a dynasty, so I told Vibe Workin' 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 kinda hard to imagine, like Kanye West Coming back from his fatal accident to and rapping But, we the future, Whitney Houston me that And it's gon' take more than a bullet in the heart to me back
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 Kanye and (I you all my dreams) (Cause I love you, I you, I love you)
I had dreams of a R&B bitch like Mya When I saw that ass on the front of that Read the article in the magazine, she loved gangsters, loved things So I'm in the glass house having nasty Good girls give it up But anything is possible, if 50 fucked Hurdled obstacles, found my way through the maze Then joy turned to pain like Frankie Beverly and Used to dream of being Hype 'til I was crushed by Dave Mays, almost let my pen fall on the page Daydreamin' yesterday, off backstage I thought I saw Eazy talking to Jam Jay So I walked over, Jam Master say "It's a hard knock life, you pass 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, 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)
The of Huey Newton that's what I'm livin' through The of Eric Wright, that's what I'm givin you Who walked through the White House without a business Compton hat, jheri curl drippin on Ronald 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 like Big it'd be Don't 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, Jackson made it Head in the clouds, wonderin' where the hell Gaye went How do I say this? I'm for my son But I can't figure out, why I'm at my temple with gun up to a Jesus piece like a catholic nun The war to be a rap legend, has begun
Blushin' in 40 ounce, lettin' the ink from my pen bleed Cause 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)
