([background music] i brought.. i brought.. i brought.. dreams... dreams... dreams... i brought you all my dreams... cuz i love you... i love you.. i love you.. [repeated throughout song])
[Verse 1]
I woke up out dat coma, 2000 and 1
Bout the same time Dre dropped 2000 and 1
Three years later, that album is done
Aftermath presents: "Nigga With a Attitude : Volume 1"
Rap critics politicin'
Wanna know the outcome
Ready to die,Reasonable Doubt and Doggystyle in one
I feel like Pac,after the Snoop Dogg trial was done
Dre behind that G-Series and All Eyez On Me
I watched the death of a dynasty
So i told VIBE MAGAZINE
Workin' with Dr.Dre was a "DREAM!"
I had visions of makin a classic
Then my wall turned black, like i was starin outa Stevie Wonders glasses
Its kinda hard to imagine, like Kanye West
Comin back from his fatal accident, to beat makin and rappin
But, we da future
Whitney Houston told me that: it's gon take mo' than a bullet in the heart to hold me back
[HOOK]
RUSHIN in this 40 ounce
Lettin the ink from my pen bleed
Cuz Marthin Luther King had a *DREAM*
Aaliyah had a *DREAM*
Left Eye had a *DREAM*
So i reached out to Kanye and *i brought you all my dreams*
B.G. music playing...
[Verse 2]
I had dreams of fuckin an R'n'B bitch like Mya
When i saw dat ass on a front of that King
Read the article in a magazine
She loved gangsters,loved nasty things
So im the glass house havin' nasty dreams!
Good girls neva' give it up
But anything is possible, if 50 fucked Vivica
Hurdled lifes obstacles,found my way through the maze
Then joy turned to pain like, Frankie Beverly and Maze
Used to dream about bein' a Unsigned Hype
Till i was crushed my Dave Mase, almost let my pen fall asleep on a page
Daydreamin yesterday
Dozin' off back-stage
I tought i saw Eazy talkin to Jam Master Jay
So i walked over heard Jam Master say
Its a hardknock life, then you pass away
They say sleep is the cousin' of death
So my eyes wide open cuz a dream is kin to ya last breath
[HOOK]
RUSHIN in this 40 ounce
Lettin the ink from my pen bleed
Cuz Marthin Luther King had a *DREAM*
Aaliyah had a *DREAM*
Left Eye had a *DREAM*
So i reached out to Kanye and *i brought you all my dreams*
B.G. music playing...
[Verse 3]
The Dream of Huey Newton, thats what im livin' through
The Dream of Eric Wright, thats what im givin you!
Who walk through the Whitehouse without a business suit?
Compton had Jerry Curl drippin' on Ronald Reagan's shoes
Gave Mike Lim my demo came here to pay my dues
Started of with Whoo-Kid then i started blazin Clue
It was all a Dream like B.I.G said it be
Dont sleep on me homie i BRING NIGHTMARES TO REALITY
Rap Phenomenon defyin' the rules of gravity
Studied all the classic start revising my strategy
Cuz Marshall Mathers made it
Curtis Jackson made it
Head in the clouds wonderin where the hell Marvin Gaye went?
How do i say this,im livin for my son but i can't figure out,why im at my temple with this gun
Wake up to a Jesus Piece like a catholic Nun
The War to be a rap legend had just begun'
[HOOK:]
RUSHIN in this 40 ounce
Lettin the ink from my pen bleed
Cuz Marthin Luther King had a *DREAM*
Aaliyah had a *DREAM*
Left Eye had a *DREAM*
So i reached out to Kanye and *i brought you all my dreams*
