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 whisper last evening 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 designed yourself I agree I said, my one of a kind self Getting stoned every day like Jesus did What he said, I said, has been said before Just keep doin your thing he said, say no more [Refrain] [Faith Evans] Was it all a dream - tell me Was it all a dream, was it a dream Was it all a dre-eeee-eeeee-eeam 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 dre-eeee-eeeee-eeam [Verse 2: 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 Rapping 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 ........
