Lauryn Hill - If I Ruled The World (ft. Nas) Lauryn Hill - If I Ruled The World (ft. Nas) |
| Lauryn:
Dooo ooh ooh
Oooh ooh oooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Oooh ooh oooh
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 trail
Lifestyle cruising blue behind my waters
No welfare supporters more sonscious of the way we raise our daughters
Days are shorter, nights are colder
Feelin 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
Designers 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 or the mind
I take a glimpse into time
Watch the blimp read "The World Is Mine"
Lauryn:
If I ruled the world
Nas:
Imagine that
Lauryn:
I'd free all my sons
I love 'em love 'em baby
Black diamonds and pearls
Nas:
Could it be, if you could be mine, we'd both shine
Lauryn:
If I ruled the world
Nas:
Sill livin' for today in these last days and times
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
Lauryn:
If I ruled the world
Nas:
Imagine that
Lauryn:
I'd free all my sons
I love 'em love 'em baby
Black diamonds and pearls
Nas:
Could it be, if you could be mine, we'd both shine
Lauryn:
If I ruled the world
Nas:
Sill livin' for today in these last days and times
Lauryn:
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
Hmmm
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??
Lauryn:
If I ruled the world
Nas:
Imagine that
Lauryn:
I'd free all my sons
I love 'em love 'em baby
Black diamonds and pearls
Nas:
Could it be, if you could be mine, we'd both shine
Lauryn:
If I ruled the world
Nas:
Still livin' for today in these last days and times
Lauryn:
If I ruled the world, if I ruled, if I ruled
Nas:
Imagine that
Lauryn:
I'd free all my sons, if I ruled, if I ruled
I love 'em love 'em baby
Black diamonds and pearls, black diamonds, black diamonds
Nas:
Could it be, if you could be mine we'd both shine
Lauryn:
If I ruled the world
Nas:
Still livin' for today in these last days and times
Lauryn:
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, ahh oh
Black diamonds and pearls, if I ruled
If I ruled the world
If I ruled the world
I love 'em love 'em baby |
