Life I wonder
Will it take me under
I don't know
Imagine smoking shit
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
Of coke was cooked without the garbage
We'd all have the top dollars
Imagine everybody flashing fashion
Designer clothes
Lacing your click up
With diamond vogues
Your people holding dough
No parole
No rubbers 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 em love em baby
Black diamonds and pearls
Could it be if you could
Be mine we'd both shine
If I ruled the world
Still living for today in
These last days and times
The way to be 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
The Villa house is for the crew
How we do
Trees for breakfast
Dime b*****s and Benz stretches
So many years of depression
Make me vision
The better living
Type of place to raise kids in
Open they 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 I civilized every savage
Gimme one shot
I turn trife life to lavish
Political prisoner set free stress free
No work release purple M3's
And jet skis
Feel the wind breeze
In West Indies
I make Coretta Scott-King
Mayor the cities
And reverse themes to Willies
It sounds foul but every girl
I meet to go downtown
I'd open every cell
In Attica send em to Africa
If I ruled the world
Imagine that
I'd free all my sons
I love em love em baby
Black diamonds and pearls
Could it be if you could
Be mine we'd both shine
If I ruled the world
Still living 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
Running from Jake
Gettin chased hunger for papes
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 stack the safe
Millionaire plan to
Keep the gat with the cop camera
Making moves in Atlanta
Back and forth scrambler
Cause you could have all the chips
Be poor or rich
Still nobody want a nigga having shit
If I ruled the world and everything in it
Sky's the limit
I push a Q-45 Infinit
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 ****
If I ruled the world
Imagine that
I'd free all my sons
I love em em baby
Black diamonds and pearls
Could it be if you could
Be mine we'd both shine
If I ruled the world
Still living for today in
These last days and times
If I ruled the world
If I ruled if I ruled
I'd free all my sons
If I ruled if I ruled
I love em love em baby
Black diamonds and pearls
Black diamonds
Could it be if you could
Black diamonds
Be mine we'd both shine
If I ruled the world
Still living for today in
These last days and times
If I ruled the world if I ruled
If I ruled I'd free all my sons
I love em love em baby
Black diamonds and pearls
If I ruled if I ruled the world
