If I Ruled The World

Lyrics

Life..... I wonder....

Will it take me under.... I don't know

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

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 rela ing

black, latino and anglo sa on

Armani e change 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

se es 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 si 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 n a having s t

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 f k?

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 (Imagine that)

I'd free all my sons

Repeatedly chorus freestyle with adlips
