(It was all a dream)
(It was all a dream)
(It was all a dream)
(It was all a dream)
[Verse 1: Jay Reaper]
Way, way back then, I think I wasn't even 10
Lil' Reap in front of TV, that's when my time was planned
Look at the stars dance, moonwalking and shit
I want to be just like them, dance to the music
Sing along to them songs, now starting to hit that bomb
Now wanna be just like B.I.G., now wanna be just like Shaun
Anger issues, 'cause I don't wanna be like you
I was watching Kung Fu flicks
'Cause I want to be just like Wu-Tang Clan
Understand where I'm coming from
I don't run my mouth but I'm running from a lot of trouble, son
But the music make my problems disappear
Out the Monday and the bitches that didn't care
I just want all of my niggas get at the top
But I'm never gonna stop that promise
Never gonna stop paying homage
Hip-hop is my college, my god, my dollar
So please don't wake me up and please don't pinch me, never
I wanna dream forever, I wanna dream forever
[Chorus]
(It was all a dream)
Young and on the scene
Always had a bag of green
Loyal people on a team with a vision
(It was all a dream)
Many more believe all the things that we achieve
That's forever D.O.D., better listen
(It was all a dream)
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
(It was all a dream)
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
(It was all a dream)
[Verse 2: Skits Vicious]
Think about you grandma and what you would say if you was still closer
Now you up in the astral plane and I know that you watchin' over
Me and Dave, I think back and see the days as kids
When we used to stay up with dad and listen to The Fix tracks
[?]
Jogging pants and six packs
Hit the party, bring the Smarties, Skittles bags and Tic-tacs
Ride around the [?], I was 15, skipped at school
Playin' ball like Michael Owen, never quite made Liverpool
A bitter fool since Way Back, hard rock in my tape deck
Knew every single one of Biggie's songs, still couldn't stand the [?]
Break bread all the way to the best crumb, no savin' up with you that young
Still had the expense of [?] as I rapped along to the rap songs
The impact was so strong on me, same for [?]
[?] true indeed
Now look at what we've done and what we've seen
I've slowly come to grips with the fact that (It was all a dream)
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
(It was all a dream)
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
[Chorus]
(It was all a dream)
Young and on the scene
Always had a bag of green
Loyal people on a team with a vision
(It was all a dream)
Many more believe all the things that we achieve
That's forever D.O.D., better listen
(It was all a dream)
Young and on the scene
Always had a bag of green
Loyal people [?] a teen with a vision
(It was all a dream)
Many more believe all the things that we achieve
That's forever D.O.D., better listen
(It was all a dream)
[Outro]
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
(It was all a dream)
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
(It was all a dream)
(It was all a dream)
(It was all a dream)
