Jay-Z - A Dream
[jay-z] it was all a dream
[scratched simultaneously: it was all a dream - b.i.g.]
[faith evans + (jay-z)]
Last night I had a dream
Thoughts was racin through my head (it was all a dream)
Felt so real to me
This is what was said..
[jay-z]
Had a dream I said, bout who he said?
Bout b.i.g. I said, that’s big he said
Dig he said, proceed he said
Indeed I said, so - breathe I did
Don’t repeat what I say I said, he said nothin
He agreed with his head, he just nodded like this
What I believe to be a yes I re-peated what was said
It came to me like a .. well as even I said
You feel playboy, was the greeting he said
First thing I wanted to know, what’s the reason he was dead?
More money, more problems, better believe it, he said
Careful what you wish for you might receive it, he said
I see I said, jealousy I said
Got the whole industry mad at me I said
Then b.i. said, hov’ remind yourself
Nobody built like you, you designed yourself
I agree I said, my one of a kind self
Get stoned every day like jesus did
What he said, I said, has been said before
Just keep doin your thing, he said, say no more
[faith evans]
Was it all a dream - tell me
Was it all a dream, was it a dream
Was it all a dre-eeee-eeeee-eeam
I gotta know (it was all a dream)
Was it all a dream - was it a dream
Was it all a dream, a dream
Was it all a dre-eeee-eeeee-eeam
[notorious b.i.g.]
It was all a dream, I used to read word up magazine
Salt’n’pepa and heavy d up in the limousine
Hangin pictures on my wall
Every saturday, rap attack, mr. magic, marley marl
I let my tape rock ’til my tape popped
Smokin weed and bamboo, sippin on private stock
Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack
With the hat to match
Remember rappin’ duke? duh-ha, duh-ha
You never thought that hip-hop would take it this far
Now I’m in the limelight cause I rhyme tight
Time to get paid, blow up like the (world trade)
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner
Peace to ron g, brucey b, kid capri
Funkmaster flex, lovebug starsky
I’m blowin up like you thought I would
Call the crib, same number same hood, it’s all good
Uhh, and if you don’t know, now you know, nigga
[faith evans]
Was it all a dream - tell me
Was it all a dream, was it a dream
Was it all a dre-eeee-eeeee-eeam
I gotta know (it was all a dream)
Was it all a dream - was it a dream
Was it all a dream, a dream
Was it all a dre-eeee-eeeee-eeam
(it was all.. a dream)
(it was all..)
(it was all.. a dream)
(it was all a dream)
(it was all.. a dream)
(it was all..)
(it was all.. a dream)
