A Dream Lyrics


    ft. Faith Evans, Notorious B.I.G.

    [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")

    [the beat drops out and Jay-Z raps the next part acapella]

    [Jay-Z]
    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
