| [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 Wonder's glasses
|
| It's 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
|
| It's 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 Mya
|
| When I saw that ass on the front of that King
|
| Read the article in the magazine, she loved gangsters, loved nasty things
|
| So I'm in the glass house having nasty dreams
|
| Good girls never give it up
|
| But anything is possible, if 50 fucked Vivica
|
| Hurdled life's 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
|
| "It's 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, that's what I'm livin' through
|
| The dream of Eric Wright, that's what I'm givin' you
|
| Who walked through the White House without a business suit
|
| Compton hat, jheri curl drippin' on Ronald Reagan's 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 it'd be
|
| Don't 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? |
| I'm livin' for my son
|
| But I can't figure out, why I'm 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...") |
