A Dream
Jay-Z Song Lyrics

Artist: Jay-Z
Album: The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse (2002)

[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 racing 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, about who he said?
About 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 well as even I said
'What's the deal, 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've 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

[Faith evans]
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

[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
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 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 blowing up like you thought I would
Call the crib, same number same hood, it's all good
Uh, 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 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')
('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've 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
