Текст Jay–Z – A Dream

Jay-Z
It was all a dream
scratched simultaneously: «It was all a dream» — B.I.G.

Faith Evans + (Jay-Z)

Jay-Z
Had a dream I said, about who he said?
about B.I.G. 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 well as even 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’ve designed yourself»
I agree I said, my one of a kind self
Get stoned every day like Jesus did
What he said, I said, has been said before
«Just keep doing your thing,» he said, say no more

Faith Evans

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 Rappin’ 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 («World Trade»)
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
I’m blowing up like you thought I would
Call the crib, same number same hood, it’s all good
Uh, and if you don’t know, now you know, nigga

Faith Evans
Was it all a dream — tell me
Was it all a dream, was it a dream
Was it all a dream
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 dream

(«It was all.. a dream»)
(«It was all..»)
(«It was all.. a dream»)
(«It was all a dream»)
(«It was all.. a dream»)
(«It was all..»)
(«It was all.. a dream»)

the beat drops out and Jay-Z raps the next part acapella

Jay-Z
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’ve designed yourself»
I agree I said, my one of a kind self
Get stoned every day like Jesus did
What he said, I said, has been said before
«Just keep doing your thing,» he said, say no more
