[Intro: Sample]
~#**************#~
“And I brought—”
~#**************#~
“And I brought—”
~#**************#~
“And I brought—dreams”
~#**************#~
“—dreams”
~#**************#~
“—dreams”
~#**************#~
“And I brought you all my dreams cause I love you”
~#**************#~
“I—love you”
~#**************#~
“I—love you”
~#**************#~
“I-I-I love you”
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: The Game & (Sample)]
~#**************#~
I woke up out that coma 2001
~#**************#~
‘Bout the same time Dre dropped 2001
~#**************#~
Three years later the album is done
~#**************#~
Aftermath presents: Nigga Witta Attitude, Volume One
~#**************#~
Rap critics politickin, 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 world turned black
~#**************#~
Like I was starin out of Stevie Wonders glasses
~#**************#~
Its kinda hard to imagine, like Kanye West
~#**************#~
Coming back from his fatal accident to beatmakin and rappin
~#**************#~
But, we the future, Whitney Houston told me that
~#**************#~
Its gon take more than a bullet in the heart to hold me back
~#**************#~
[Chorus: The Game & (Sample)]
~#**************#~
Blushin in this 40 ounce, lettin the ink from my pen bleed
~#**************#~
‘Cause Martin 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 cause I love you”)
~#**************#~
(“I—love you”
~#**************#~
“I—love you”
~#**************#~
“I-I-I love you”)
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: The Game]
~#**************#~
I had dreams of fuckin a R&B bitch like Mýa
~#**************#~
When I saw that ass on the front of that King
~#**************#~
Read the article in the magazine, she loved gangsters, loved nasty things,,,
~#**************#~
So Im in the glass house having nasty dreams
~#**************#~
Good girls never 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 of being Unsigned Hype
~#**************#~
‘Til I was crushed by Dave Mays, almost let my pen fall asleep on the page
~#**************#~
Daydreamin yesterday, dozin off backstage
~#**************#~
I thought I saw Eazy talking to Jam Master Jay
~#**************#~
So I walked over, heard Jam Master say
~#**************#~
“Its a hard knock life, then you pass away”
~#**************#~
They say sleep is the cousin of death, so my eyes wide open
~#**************#~
‘Cause a dream is kin to your last breath
~#**************#~
[Chorus: The Game & (Sample)]
~#**************#~
Blushin in this 40 ounce, lettin the ink from my pen bleed
~#**************#~
‘Cause Martin 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 cause I love you”)
~#**************#~
(“I—love you”
~#**************#~
“I—love you”
~#**************#~
“I-I-I love you”)
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: The Game]
~#**************#~
The dream of Huey Newton, thats what Im livin through
~#**************#~
The dream of Eric Wright, thats what Im givin you
~#**************#~
Who walked through the White House without a business suit
~#**************#~
Compton hat, jheri curl drippin on Ronald Reagans shoes
~#**************#~
Gave Mike Lem my demo, came here to pay my dues
~#**************#~
Started off with Whoo Kid, then I start blazin Clue
~#**************#~
It was all a dream like Big said itd be
~#**************#~
Dont sleep on me homey, I bring nightmares to reality
~#**************#~
Rap phenomenon, defyin the rules of gravity
~#**************#~
Studied all the classics, start revisin my strategy
~#**************#~
‘Cause 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 cant 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 has just begun
~#**************#~
[Chorus: The Game & (Sample)]
~#**************#~
Blushin in this 40 ounce, lettin the ink from my pen bleed
~#**************#~
Cause Martin 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 cause I love you”)
~#**************#~
(“I—love you”
~#**************#~
“I—love you”
~#**************#~
“I-I-I love you”)
~#**************#~
[Outro: The Game & (Sample)]
~#**************#~
This song is dedicated to Yetunde Price
~#**************#~
The sister of Venus and Serena Williams
~#**************#~
Who was slain during a gang shootout in Compton
~#**************#~
Sunday, September 14th, 2003: rest in peace
~#**************#~
(“I brought you all my dreams cause I love you”)
~#**************#~
(“I—love you”
~#**************#~
“I—love you”
~#**************#~
“I-I-I love you”)
~#**************#~
(“And I brought—”
~#**************#~
“And I brought—”
~#**************#~
“And I brought—dreams”
~#**************#~
“—dreams”
~#**************#~
“—dreams”)
~#**************#~
(“And I brought you all my dreams cause I love you…”)
