It was all a dream
Last night I had a dream, thoughts was racin through my head
Felt so real to me, this is what was said
Had a dream, I said; Bout who? he said
Bout B.I.G., I said; Thats big, he said
Dig what he said; Proceed, he said
Indeed, I said, so, breathe I did
Dont 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
Whats the deal, playboy? was the greeting he said
First thing I wanted to know was the reason he was dead
Mo Money Mo 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
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 
Was it all a dream - was it a dream
Was it all a dream, a dream
Was it all a dre-eeee-eeeee-eeam
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 Im in the limelight cause I rhyme tight
Time to get paid, blow up like the 
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
Im blowing up like you thought I would
Call the crib, same number same hood, its all good
And if you dont know, now you know, nigga
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 
Was it all a dream - was it a dream
Was it all a dream, a dream
Was it all a dre-eeee-eeeee-eeam
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
