Imagine - Sadat X, Rhymefest, Jabar

Imagine if my dudes in the Earth realize their worth

Imagine if they was taught love at birth (Word.)

Imagine if my father ain’t die

And the thought of him here still moistens my eye ('Til this day)

My daughter lives so far away (Far)

Imagine if I was there providing structure through her day

Imagine the things I can say

But since I ain’t there, she gon' do it her way

Seen my dude Mike last night, word is bond

He was dead by the morn

We grieved, buried him and moved on (Close your eyes and imagine)

Close your eyes and imagine my infant son little feet

His little heartbeat (Close your eyes and imagine)

What if I lost him in the street?

Seen him covered with a sheet?

(Close your eyes and imagine)

Imagine succeeding (Close your eyes and imagine)

You want us to fantasize with no

Greatness (Close your eyes and imagine)

Man, whatever.

We live in the ghetto, X

Pyramid-builders

Project-livers (Close your eyes and imagine)

Great thinkers, mathematicians

High school dropouts, B (Close your eyes and imagine)

Imagine succeeding

Doing everything you needing

, Dublin, bubbling

Due to fumbling, economic crumbling

War zone (Close your eyes and imagine)

I’m falling at home

We got a black man under the dome

But we still violate where the Indian’s call home

They was there a thousand years ago (Close your eyes and imagine)

A stress-free life

Picket fence and a wife

Ain’t got to carry that knife (You don’t need it!) (Close your eyes and imagine)

Blowing good herb

And nobody hit the curb

Everything is everything, money to the ceiling

Bills paid ahead of time, oh, what a feeling

Can you imagine that?

Can you imagine that?

(Close your eyes and imagine)

You got the whole world in your hands, phones keep ringing

Deals coming by the pounds, you don’t want to hear it

Can you imagine that?

Can you imagine that?

(Close your eyes and imagine)

You started at the bottom, now you on top

Rock star status, top of the charts

Unbelievably gleaming, you thought you was dreaming

Thinking outside of the box (Close your eyes and imagine)

Shhh… eyes wide shut, visualize freedom

Big banks, credit, car notes, you don’t need them

Set free on the island with jet skis

Parasailing with cinnamon women that’s so sexy (Heey.)

Every rapper make a million dollars, go platinum

Rick Ross and his baby mama, it never happened

Rihanna met Chris Brown and walked the other way (Damn.)

I’m just saying, I imagined that the other day (Woo.)

Free health care, everybody on welfare

You can wake up 3 o’clock like «Hell yeah.»

Shhhhh… can you imagine that?

Don’t tell me what I want to hear, can you fathom that?

Leave the keys in your Cadillac (Vroom.)

I’ll put some gas in it, man, 'fore I bring it back

I pick my son from his mother

Take my next girl from her lover

Fuck her without a rubber (Bahh.)

Big love, got three wives, I wanna love 'em

My mother had three girls, imagine I had a brother

My father was MIA, imagine I had another

But then I wouldn’t be who I am, word to mother

(Close your eyes and imagine)

(Close your eyes and imagine)

(Close your eyes and imagine)
