I woke up out that coma the same time Dre dropped 2001 Three later the album is done Aftermath presents: Nigga Attitude, Volume One Rap critics politickin, wanna know the Ready to Die, Doubt and Doggystyle in one I feel like after the Snoop Dogg trial was done Dre behind that G series and All on Me I the death of a dynasty, so I told Vibe Magazine with Dr. Dre was a (dream) I had visions of makin a classic, then my world turned Like I was out of Stevie Wonder's glasses It's hard to imagine, like Kanye West Coming back from his fatal accident to beatmaking and But, we the future, Whitney Houston told me And it's gon' take than a bullet in the heart to hold me back
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 and (I brought you all my dreams) (Cause I you, I love 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, nasty things So I'm in the glass having nasty dreams girls never give it up But is possible, if 50 fucked Vivica Hurdled life's obstacles, found my way the maze Then joy turned to pain Frankie Beverly and Maze Used to of being Unsigned Hype 'til I was by Dave Mays, almost let my pen fall asleep on the page Daydreamin' yesterday, off backstage I I saw Eazy talking 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 eyes 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 and (I brought you all my dreams) (Cause I you, I love you, I love you)
The dream of Huey that's what I'm livin' through The dream of Eric Wright, that's what I'm you Who walked through the White House a business suit Compton hat, jheri curl drippin on Reagan's shoes Gave Mike Lem my demo, came to pay my dues Started off with Kid, then I start blazin' Clue It was all a like Big said it'd be Don't sleep on me homey, I bring to reality Rap phenomenon, defyin' the rules of all the classics, start revisin' my strategy Cause Marshall Mathers 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 like a catholic nun The war to be a rap legend, has begun
in this 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)
