Imagine (Featuring D'Angelo & Dr. Dre)

Imagine it never happened

Imagine no rapping

Imagine **** trapped imagining havin' action

Imagine how these **** could be acting

If we never got this shit cracking

Imagine life's so hard

You can't imagine it's like living in the City of God, you feel me?

Imagine life on the yard

Or trying to get that dollar on some shitty ass job

Imagine Biggie with his son

Imagine Pac getting called pop by one

Imagine a mother struggling

Dealing with a system that don't give a fuck about who shot her son

Imagine life where you can't win

When you get out the ghetto and go right to the pen'

When you get out the pen', you go right to the jenz

So if you get back to the streets, you go right back in

Imagine Russell still struggling

No Def Jam, just another **** hustling

And ain't no rocks on them fellas

Just rocks on them fellas just tryna keep it bubbling

Imagine **** just stuck

From the East to the West Coast, everybody fucked up

I can't imagine no less

But it don't take imagination to know **** been blessed with hip-hop

Before you go, can you imagine?

With your ears, clear your mind, can you imagine?

Paint a picture in the sky, can you imagine?

Please call emergency, I've been dreaming all my life

Can you imagine being lit up by some hot shells?

Imagine being tossed around and put in jail

Imagine life when you can't get from under

Imagine **** at you when you done for

Remember how they asked you, what you run for?

And treat you like a bitch

When they kick you in your dick and take your shit

Reacting like they hate to see you gung-ho

But just imagine if the rabbit got the gun though

But you already know

Imagine **** in the L-B-C

Felt just like Snoop Dog and D-R-E

And felt just like them **** in the 2-1-3

Then imagine that's what's coming when you fucking with me

Imagine you was up on top of this shit

Imagine if the bitches could stay off this dick

I mean, imagine we said fuck this shit

Imagine if my **** got together and tore up this bitch, yeah

You can't imagine growing up in jail dumb

Happy just to be alive, watching all your people run

Would you imagine growing up

To sell you fifty million records worldwide

Or fucking off somebody's son?

Imagine if these **** never saw a color

Would it be peaceful in them streets where **** kill each other?

All a drunk fool get is pissed on balls

He fucking off my ****, they gon' murder us all

Imagine that

Before you go, can you imagine?

With your ears, clear your mind, can you imagine?

Paint a picture in the sky, can you imagine?

Please call emergency, I've been dreaming all my life, all my life

Before we go, can you imagine?

With your ears, clear your mind, can you imagine?

Paint a picture in the sky, can you imagine?

Please call emergency, I've been dreaming all my life, all my life

Imagine, oh imagine

Yeah, yeah, oh yeah

Can you imagine?

Can you imagine?

Can you imagine?
