Life
I wonder
Will it take me under
I don't know
Imagine smoking weed
in the street
without cops harassin'
imagine going to court
with no trial
Lifestyle cruising blue
behind my waters no
welfare supporters more
conscious of the way
we raise our daughters
Days are shorter
nights are colder
feeling like life is over
These snakes strike
like a cobra
the world's hot
my son got knocked
Evidently
it's elementary
they want us
gone eventually
Trooping out of state
for a plate knowledge
the coke was cooked
without the garbage
we'd have the top dollars
Imagine everybody
flashin', fashion
designer clothes
lacing your click up
with the diamond rows
Your people holdin' dough
no parole
no robbers
Go in raw
imagine law
with no undercovers
just some thoughts
for the mind
I take a glimpse
into time
watch the blimp read
"The World Is Mine"
If I ruled the world
Imagine that
I'd free all my sons
I love them
love them baby
black diamonds
and pearls
Could it be
you could be mine
we'd both shine
If I ruled the world
still livin' for today
In these last days
and times
Don't either be paradise
life relaxin' black latino
and anglo-saxon
Armani exchange
the rage cash
Lost Tribe of Shabazz
free at last
and brand new whips
to crack
Then we'd laugh
through the iller path
the Villa house
is for the crew
how we do
Trees for breakfast
dime sexes
and Benz stretches
So many years
under pressure
make me vision
The better livin'
type of place
to raise kids in
Open the eyes
to the lies
history's told foul
but I'm as wise
as the old owl
Plus the Gold Child
seeing things like
I was controlling
click rollin'
Trickin' six digits
on kicks and
still holdin'
Trips to Paris
I'd civilize every savage
gimme one shot
I turn trife
like Polaris
Political prisoner set free
stress free
no work release
purple M3's
and jet skis
Feel the wind breeze
in West Indies I'd make
Coretta Scott-King mayor
of the cities and reverse
things to willies
It sounds foul
but every girl I meet
I go downtown
I'd open every cell
in Attica
send them to Africa
If I ruled the world
Imagine that
I'd free all my sons
I love them
love them baby
black diamonds
and pearls
Could it be
if you could be mine
we'd both shine
If I ruled the world
Still livin' for today
In these last
days and times
And then we'll
walk right up to
the sun hand in hand
We'll walk
right up to the sun
we won't land
We'll walk
right up to the sun
hand in hand
We'll walk
right up to the sun
we won't land
You'd love to hear
the story how the
thugs live in worry
Duck down in car seats
heat's mandatory
Runnin' from Jake
gettin' chased
hunger for pape
These are the breaks
many mistakes
go down out of state
Wait I had to
let it marinate
in carawheat
Tryna get laced
flip the ace
stack the safe
Millionaire plan
to keep the gat
with the cop camera
makin' moves in Atlanta
back and forth scrambler
'Cause you can have
all the chips
be poor or rich
still nobody wanna
nigga havin' shit
If I ruled the world
and everything in it
sky's the limit
I push the Q-45 Infiniti
There wouldn't be
no such thing
as jealousies
or be felony
Strictly living longevity
to the destiny
I thought I'd never see
but reality struck
Better find out
before your time's out
what the fuck
If I ruled the world
Imagine that
I'd free all my sons
I love them
love them baby
black diamonds
and pearls
Could it be
if you could be mine
we'd both shine
If I ruled the world
Still livin' for today
In these last
days and times
If I ruled the world
Imagine that
I'd free all my sons
I love them
love them baby
black diamonds
and pearls
Could it be
if you could be mine
we'd both shine
If I ruled the world
Still livin' for today
In these last
days and times
If I ruled the world
I'd free all my sons
I love them
love them baby
black diamonds
and pearls
If I ruled the world
If I ruled the world
I love them
love them baby
