It was all a dream
Last night I had a dream, thoughts was racin' through my head
Felt so real to me, this is what was said
"Had a dream," I said, "Bout who?" he said
"'Bout B.I.G.," I said, "That's big," he said
"Dig what he said", "Proceed," he said
"Indeed," I said, so, breathe I did
"Don't repeat what I say," I said, he said nothing
He agreed with his head, he just nodded like this
What I believe to be a yes, I repeated what was said
"It came to me like a whisper last evening," I said
"What's the deal, playboy?" was the greeting he said
First thing I wanted to know was the reason he was dead
"Mo' Money, Mo' 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"
Getting 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"
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? (Tell me)
Was it all a dream? (Was it a dream)
Was it all a dre-eeee-eeeee-eeam?
It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up! Magazine
Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
Hanging pictures on my wall
Every Saturday, Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
I let my tape rock 'til my tape popped
Smoking weed and bamboo, sipping on private stock
Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack
With the hat to match
Remember Rapping 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-
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 blowing up like you thought I would
Call the crib, same number, same hood, it's all good
And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
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? (Was it a dream?)
Was it all a dre-eeee-eeeee-eeam?
It was all a dream
It was all a-
It was all a-
It was all a dream
It was all a dream
It was all a-

It was all a dream
It was all a-
It was all a dream
