Karaoké If I Ruled the World (Imagine That) Nas & Lauryn Hill

Life

I wonder

Will it take me under?

Oh no

Imagine smoking weed in the streets without cops harassing

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 evidentaly

It's elementary, they want us all gone eventually

Trooping out of state for a plate knowledge

If coke was cooked without the garbage we'd all have the top dollar

Imagine everybody flashing fashion designer clothes lacing your click with diamond rose

Your people holding dough no parole no rubbers, go in bow 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

Imagine that

Could it be, if you could be mine we'd both shine

Still living for today in these last days and times

Paradise like relaxing black, latino and Anglo Saxon

Armani exchange the reins

Cash, lost Tribe of shabazz free at last brand new whips to crash then we laugh in the iller path

Villa house is for the crew how we do

Trees for breakfast dime sexes and Benz stretches

So many years of depression make me vision the better living type of place to raise kids in

Opening 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 rolling

Tricking six digits on kicks and still holding

Trips to Paris that I civilized every savage

Give me one shot

I turn trife life to lavish

Political prisoner set free, stress free

No work release purple M threes's and jet skis

Feel the wind breeze in West Indies, I make Coretta

Scott King Mayor of the cities and reverse themes to Willie

It sounds foul but every girl

I meet to go downtown

I'd open every cell in Attica send them to Africa

Imagine that

Could it be, if you could be mine we'd both shine

Still living for today in these last days and times

You'd love to hear the story how the thugs live in worry

Duck down in car seats heat's mandatory

Running from Jake getting takes hunger for pates

These are the breaks many mistakes go down out of state

Wait, I had to let it marinate we carry weight

Trying to get laced flip the ace that could save

Millionaire plan it keep the gat with the cocked hammer

Making moves in Atlanta back and forth scrambler

'Cos you could have all the chips, be poor or rich

Don't nobody want a brother having sh...

If I ruled the world and everything in it sky's the limit

I'd push the two four five infinite

It wouldn't be no such thing as jealousies or B Felonies

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 f...

Imagine that

Could it be, if you could be mine we'd both shine

Still living for today in these last days and times

Imagine that

Could it be

If you could be mine we'd both shine

Imagine that

Could it be

If you could be mine we'd both shine
