Was it all a dream
Remember Rappin' Duke? "Duh-ha, duh-ha"
It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up magazine
What I believe to be a yes I re-peated what was said
It was all
He agreed with his head, he just nodded like this
Was it all a dream
Was it all a dream

Last night I had a dream
Got the whole industry mad at me I said
Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner
Call the crib, same number same hood, it's all good
This is what was said
I agree I said, my one of a kind self
It was all, all a dream
It was all
Had a dream I said, 'bout who he said?
Smokin' weed and bamboo, sippin' on private stock
It was all a dream
Every Saturday, "Rap Attack," Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
I agree I said, my one of a kind self
First thing I wanted to know, what's the reason he was dead?
You never thought that hip-hop would take it this far
Felt so real to me
Then B.I. said, "Hov' remind yourself
Then B.I. said, "Hov' remind yourself
Now I'm in the limelight 'cause I rhyme tight
Was it all a dream
Was it all a dream
Hangin' pictures on my wall
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
I see I said, jealousy I said
I let my tape rock 'til my tape popped
I see I said, jealousy I said
"Careful what you wish for you might receive it," he said
What he said, I said, has been said before
'Bout B.I.G. I said, that's B,I.G. he said
Get stoned every day like Jesus did
Nobody built like you, you designed yourself"
Was it all a dream
Get stoned every day like Jesus did
Don't repeat what I say I said, he said nothin'
Was it all a dream
It was all a dream
Was it all a dream
Indeed I said, so, breathe I did
Uhh, and if you don't know
Now you know, nigga
Nobody built like you, you designed yourself"
Dig he said, proceed he said
With the hat to match
Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starsky
Peace to Ron G, Brucey B, Kid Capri
"More money, more problems, better believe it," he said
Time to get paid, blow up like the,
It was all a dream
Was it all a dream
"Just keep doin' your thing," he said, say no more
Thoughts was racin through my head
What he said, I said, has been said before
It was all, all a dream
"You feel playboy," was the greeting he said
"Just keep doin' your thing," he said, say no more

Got the whole industry mad at me I said
Was it all a dream
Was it all a dream
It was all a dream
I'm blowin' up like you thought I would
Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack
It came to me like a, well as even I said
It was all, all a dream
Was it all a dream
