Текст (слова) песни: Nas - If I Ruled The World

 
[Nas] 
Life..... I wonder.... 
Will it take me under.... I don`t know 
 
Imagine smoking weed in the streets without cops harassin 
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 not evidently 
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 flashin, fashion 
Designer clothes, lacing your click up with diamond vogues 
Your people holdin 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" 
 
[Lauryn Hill (Nas)] 
1 - 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 livin for today, in these last days and times) 
 
[Nas] 
The way to be, paradise like relaxin 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 sexes and Benz stretches 
So many years of depression make me vision 
The better livin, 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 rollin 
Trickin six digits on kicks and still holdin 
Trips to Paris, I civilized every savage 
Gimme one shot I turn trife life to lavish 
Political prisonner 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 
 
Repeat 1 
 
[Laurin Hill] 
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 
 
[Nas] 
You`d love to hear the story how the thugs live in worry 
Duck down in car seats, heat`s mandatory 
Runnin 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 
Tryin to get laced, flip the ace stack the safe 
Millionaire plan to keep the gat with the cop camera 
Makin moves in Atlanta, back and forth scrambler 
Cause you could have all the chips, be poor or rich 
Still nobody want a nigga havin 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 fuck??? 
 
Repeat 1 
 
[Laurin Hill (Nas)] 
If I ruled the world, if I ruled, if I ruled (Imagine that) 
I`d free all my sons, if I ruled, if I ruled 
I love em love em baby 
Black diamonds and pearls, black dimaonds, black diamonds 
(Could it be, if you could be mine, we`d both shine) 
If I ruled the world 
(Still livin 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 
black diamonds, I love em love em baby 
Black diamonds and pearls, if I ruled 
If I ruled the world 
 
If I ruled the world 
I love em love em baby!!
