I woke up out that 2001 'bout the same time Dre 2001 Three years later the is done Aftermath presents: Witta Attitude, Volume One Rap politickin, wanna know the outcome Ready to Die, Reasonable and Doggystyle in one I feel like after the Snoop Dogg trial was done Dre behind that G and All Eyez on Me I watched the death of a dynasty, so I told Magazine Workin' Dr. Dre was a (dream) I had of makin 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 his fatal accident to beatmaking and rapping But, we the future, Whitney Houston told me And gon' take more than a bullet in the heart to hold me back
Blushin' in this 40 ounce, lettin' the ink from my pen Cause 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 a R&B bitch like Mya When I saw that ass on the front of King Read the article in the magazine, she loved gangsters, nasty things So I'm in the glass having nasty dreams Good girls never it up But is possible, if 50 fucked Vivica life's obstacles, found my way through the maze Then joy turned to pain like Frankie Beverly and Used to of being Unsigned Hype 'til I was crushed by Dave Mays, almost let my pen fall asleep on the Daydreamin' yesterday, dozin' off I I saw Eazy talking to Jam Master Jay So I walked over, heard Jam say "It's a hard life, then you pass away" They say sleep is the cousin of death, so my wide open Cause a dream is kin to last breath
Blushin' in this 40 ounce, lettin' the ink from my pen 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 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 without a business Compton hat, jheri curl on Ronald Reagan's shoes Gave Lem my demo, came here to pay my dues Started off with Kid, then I start blazin' Clue It was all a dream like Big said be sleep on me homey, I bring nightmares to reality Rap phenomenon, the rules of gravity all the classics, start revisin' my strategy Cause Marshall Mathers it, Curtis Jackson made it Head in the clouds, wonderin' where the hell Marvin Gaye 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 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 Martin Luther 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 love you, I you, I love you)
