KiD Ink ☆ Hell & Back

[Verse 1]

I woke up out dat coma, 2000 and 1

Bout the same time Dre dropped 2000 and 1

Three years later the album is done

Aftermath presents: Nigga Witta Attitude Volume 1

Rap critics politicin

Wanna know the outcome!

Ready to die, Reasonable Doubt and Doggystyle in one

I feel like Pac, after the Snoop Dogg trial was done

Dre behind the G-Series and All Eyez On Me

I watched the death of a dynasty!

So I told Vibe Magazine

Workin’ with Dr.Dre was a “DREAM!”

I had visions of makin’ a classic

Then my wall turned black,like I was starin outa Stevie Wonders glasses

It’s kinda hard to imagine,like Kanye West

Comin back from a fatal accident, to beat makin’ and rappin’

But, we da future

Whitney Houston told me that, it’s gon take mo’ than a bullet in the heart to hold me back

[Hook]

Blushin’ in this 40 ounce

Lettin the ink from my pen bleed

Cuz Marthin Luther King had a “DREAM!”

Aaliyah had a “DREAM!”

Left Eye had a “DREAM!”

So I reached out to Kanye and “brough you all my dreeam!”

[Sample playin “It’s cuz I love you!”]

[Verse 2]

I had dreams of fuckin’ an R’n’B bitch like Mya

When I saw dat ass on a front of that King

Read the article in a magazine

She loved gangsters, loved nasty things

So I’m the glass house havin’ nasty dreams!

Good girls neva’ give it up

But anything is possible ,if 50 fucked Vivica

Hurdled life’s obstacles,found my way through the maze

Then joy turned to pain like, Frankie Beverly and Maze

Used to dream about bein’ Unsigned Hype

Till I was crushed my Dave Mase, almost let my pen fall asleep on a page

Daydreamin’ yesterday

Dozin’ on offback stage

I tought I saw Eazy talkin’ to Jam Master Jay

So I walked over heard Jam Master say

It’s a hardknock life, then you pass away

They say sleep is the cousin’ of death

So my eyes wide open cuz a dream is kin to ya last breath

[Hook]

Blushin’ in this 40 ounce

Lettin’ the ink from my pen bleed

Cuz Marthin Luther King had a “DREAM!”

Aalyah had a “DREAM!”

Left Eye had a “DREAM!”

So I reached out to Kanye and “brought you all my dream!”

[Sample playin “It’s cuz I love you!”]

[Verse 3]

The Dream of Huey Newton, that’s what I’m livin’ through

The Dream of Eric Wright, that’s what I’m givin’ you!

Who walk through the Whitehouse without a business suit?

Compton had Jerry Curl drippin’ on Ronald Reagans shoes

Gave Mike Lim my demo came here to pay my dues

Started of with Whoo Kid then I started blazin’ Clue

It was all a Dream like BIG said it be

Don’t sleep on me homie I bring nightmares to reality

Rap Phenomenon defyin’ the rulez of gravity

Studied all the classic start revisin my strategy

Cuz Marshall Mathers made it

Curtis Jackson made it

Head in the clouds wonderin where the hell Marvin Gaye went?

How do I say this, I’m livin’ for my son but I can’t figure out, why I’m at my temple with this gun

Wake up to a Jesus Piece like a Catholic Nun

The War to be a rap legend has just begun

[Hook]

Blushin’ in this 40 ounce

Lettin’ the ink from my pen bleed

Cuz Marthin Luther King had a “DREAM!”

Aalyah had a “DREAM!”

Left Eye had a “DREAM!”

So I reached out to Kanye and “you are my dreeam!”

[Sample playin “It’s cuz I love you!”]

[At the end GAME talking:]

This song is dedicated to Yutandey Price the sister of Venus and Serena Williams who was slain

during a gang shoot-out in Compton, Sunday September 14th 2003, Rest in peace!
