Imagine goin' to court with no trial

Still nobody want a nigga havin' shit
If I ruled the world
If you could be mine, we'd both shine?
I'd free all my sons, I love 'em, love 'em, baby
Your people holdin' dough, no parole
The Villa house is for the crew, how we do
We won't land
It sounds foul but every girl I meet to go downtown
I love 'em, love 'em, baby
Duck down in car seats, heat's mandatory
Songwriters: Samuel Barnes, Kurtis Blow, Nasir Jones, Aaron O'Bryant, Jean Claude Oliver, David Reeves, Lawrence Smith
No work, release purple M3's an' jet skis
Open they eyes to the lies history's told, foul
We'll walk right up to the sun
Brand new whips to crash, then we laugh in the iller path
It wouldn't be no such thing as jealousies or B Felonies

In these last days an' times
More conscious of the way we raise our daughters
Feel the wind breeze in West Indies
Watch the blimp read 'The World Is Mine'
The way to be, paradise like relaxin' black
Better find out before your time's out, what the fuck?
Feelin' like life is over, these snakes strike like a cobra
Life, I wonder
Imagine goin' to court with no trial
I'd free all my sons, I love 'em, love 'em, baby
In these last days an' times
I push a Q-45 Infinit
The world's hot, my son got not evidently
Strictly livin' longevity to the destiny
Lifestyle cruisin' blue behind my waters, no welfare supporters
If I ruled the world, imagine that
Trips to Paris, I civilized every savage
'Cause you could have all the chips, be poor or rich
Black diamonds an' pearls, could it be
It's elementary, they want us all gone eventually
But I'm as wise as the old owl, plus the Gold Child
So many years of depression make me vision
We'll walk right up to the sun
I make Coretta Scott-King mayor the cities
If I ruled the world, imagine that
Political prisoner set free, stress free
I'd free all my sons
Tryin' to get laced, flip the ace, stack the safe
Millionaire plan to keep the gat with the cop camera
Imagine smokin' weed in the streets without cops harassin'
If you could be mine, we'd both shine?
An' reverse themes to Willies
Wait, I had to let it marinate, we carry weight
Of coke was cooked without the garbage, we'd all have the top dollars
Makin' moves in Atlanta, back an' forth scrambler
You'd love to hear the story how the thugs live in worry
In these last days an' times
Hand in hand
Black diamonds an' pearls, could it be
Black diamonds an' pearls
Runnin' from jake, gettin' chased, hunger for papes
Gimme one shot I turn trife life to lavish
Black diamonds an' pearls, could it be
Trees for breakfast, dime sexes an' Benz stretches
Seein' things like I was controllin', click rollin'
No rubbers, go in raw, imagine law with no undercovers
Will it take me under, I don't know
If you could be mine, we'd both shine?
Hand in hand
Imagine everybody flashin', fashion
These are the breaks, many mistakes go down out of state
If I ruled the world, still livin' for today
I thought I'd never see but reality struck
If I ruled the world an' everythin' in it, sky's the limit
Cash, Lost Tribe of Shabazz, free at last
I'd free all my sons, I love 'em, love 'em, baby
If I ruled the world, still livin' for today
If I ruled the world, still livin' for today
I'd open every cell in Attica, send 'em to Africa
An' then we'll walk right up to the sun
If you could be mine, we'd both shine?
I'd free all my sons, I love 'em, love 'em, baby
If I ruled the world, still livin' for today
Trickin' six digits on kicks an' still holdin'
Designer clothes, lacin' your click up with diamond vogues
Black diamonds an' pearls, could it be
We'll walk right up to the sun
The better livin', type of place to raise kids in
Troopin' out of state for a plate knowledge
If I ruled the world
If I ruled the world, imagine that
I love 'em, love 'em, baby
We won't land
If I ruled the world, imagine that
If I ruled the world
Days are shorter, nights are colder
Just some thoughts for the mind, I take a glimpse into time
Latino an' Anglo-Saxon, Armani exchange the reins
In these last days an' times
