text: 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
