([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*

[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*
