Jay-z - A Dream lyrics

It was all a dream ("It was all a dream") Last night I had a dream Thoughts was racing through my head (it was all a dream) 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 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 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 doing your thing," he said, say no more [Chorus] Was it all a dream, tell me Was it all a dream, was it a dream Was it all a dream 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 dream 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 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 Born sinner, the opposite of a winner Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner Peace to Ron G, Brucey be, 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, n***a [Chorus] (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) 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 doing your thing," he said, say no more
