If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)
Norman Harris, Nasir Jones, Lawrence Smith, Jalil Hutchins, David Reeves, Kurt Walker, Samuel Barnes, Jean Olivier, Aaron O'bryant, Allan Felder
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 Bahama 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
Evidently, it's elementary, they want us all gone eventually
Troopin' out of state for a plate of knowledge
If coke was cooked without the garbage, we'd all have the top dollars
Imagine everybody flashin' fashion, designer clothes
Lacing your clique up with diamond Roles
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"
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)
Yo, it'd be, paradise life, relaxin'
Black, Latino and Anglo-Saxon
Armani Exchange, the Range
Cash, Lost Tribe of Shabazz free at last
Brand new whips to crash, then we laugh in a 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, clique rollin'
Trickin' six digits on kicks and still holdin'
Trips to Paris, I'd civilize every savage
Give one shot, I turn trife life to lavish
Political prisoners set free, stress free
No work release, purple M3's and jet skis
Feel the wind breeze in West Indies
I'd let Coretta Scott-King mayor the cities and reverse fiends to Willies
It sounds foul, but every girl I meet'd 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 livin' 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 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
Tryna get laced, flip the ace, stack the safe
Millionaire plan to keep the gat with the cocked hammer
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 the Q-45 Infinit'
It wouldn't be no such thing as jealousies, or B felony
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
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)
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 diamonds, 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

Troopin' out of state for a plate of knowledge

If coke was cooked without the garbage, we'd all have the top dollars

[Перевод песни Nas — «If I Ruled The World»]
[Продюсеры: Rashad Smith & Trackmasters]
[Интро: Nas]
Вот жизнь… Интересно
Утянет ли она меня на дно?
Даже не знаю
[Куплет 1: Nas]
Только представь: ты куришь травку на улице, и копы не донимают
Представь: заходя в зал суда, ты не попадаешь под суд
Представь жизнь на Багамах у океана, а не за счёт соц. выплат
Жизнь, где все осознанно подходят к воспитанию дочерей
Дни короче, ночи длиннее
Кажется, жизнь кончилась, а эти "змеи" стали опасней кобр
Мир даёт жару – моего братка слили, очевидно
Элементарно, они хотят нас извести вконец
Из своего положения выходим ради новых знаний
Если бы от кокаина не была сора
То мы бы уже давно разбогатели
Представь: все щеголяют в модной, дизайнерской одежде
А ты обеспечиваешь всю свою компанию бриллиантовыми "Ролли"
И у них всегда есть деньги; жизнь без тюрьмы, без резинок
Секс голый; жизнь где копы не внедряют инсайдеров
Просто мысли, над которыми можно задуматься
Я заглядываю в прошлое
И вижу надпись на дирижабле: «Этот мир мой»
[Припев: Lauryn Hill, (Nas)]
Если бы я правила миром (Представь себе)
Я б освободила всех наших ребят – я люблю, люблю их, детка!
Чёрные бриллианты и жемчужины
(Возможно, будь ты со мной, мы бы сияли вдвоём)
Если бы я правила миром
(Так же живём настоящим днём, даже в последние наши часы)
[Куплет 2: Nas]
Такой путь: райская жизнь, релакс
И чёрные, и латинцы, и англосаксы
"Armani Exchange" и "Рейнджи"
Кэша навалом, затерянное Племя Шабазз наконец на свободе
Новенькие тачки для крышесносных гонок, чтобы смеяться, щекоча нервы
Виллы для всей моей банды – это по-нашему
Трава на завтраке, элитные дамы и лимузины Бенц
После стольких лет депрессии я стал визуализировать
Лучшую жизнь, местечко, где я хотел бы растить своих детей
Открыть им глаза на ложь, на подло пересказанную историю, ведь я мудр, как старая сова
Я как "золотое" дитя, всё будто на моей ладони, словно я всем заправляю
Ворочу шестизначные суммы на левых кроссах, не прогорая
Поездки в Париж; я бы облагородил каждого дикаря
Дайте мне один шанс, и я превращу нищего в богача
Политзаключённые на свободе, избавлены от стресса
И без исправительных работ; багряные М-3, водные лыжи
И ты ощущаешь морской бриз Вест-Индии
Я бы позволил Коретте Скотт-Кинг стать мэром, сделал бы нарколыг Уиллисами
Это прозвучит пошловато, но каждую девушку я бы склонил к сотрудничеству
И открыл бы каждую камеру «Аттики», отправляйте же их в Африку!
[Припев: Lauryn Hill, (Nas)]
Если бы я правила миром (Представь себе)
Я б освободила всех наших ребят – я люблю, люблю их, детка!
Чёрные бриллианты и жемчужины
(Возможно, будь ты со мной, мы бы сияли вдвоём)
Если бы я правила миром
(Так же живём настоящим днём, даже в последние наши часы)
[Бридж: Lauryn Hill]
И потом мы направимся к самому солнцу, рука в руку
Мы направимся к самому солнцу и не приземлимся
И потом мы направимся к самому солнцу, рука в руку
Мы направимся к самому солнцу и не приземлимся
[Куплет 3: Nas]
Вам нравится слышать истории о бандитах и их хлопотах:
О том, как они ныкают в креслах машин им всегда необходимые пушки
О погонях с мусорами, о жажде наживы
Такой расклад, после череды ошибок ты отправляешься загород
Погодь, дай-ка мне обдумать, мы толкаем свой товар
Чтобы прикупить одежды, кидай туз и наполняй свой сейф
В плане миллионера – хранить ствол с заряженной пушкой
Двигаемся в Атланте, суетливые дельцы
Собери хоть все деньги мира, бедный ты или богатый
Всё равно никто не захочет давать ниггерам ни черта!
Если бы я правил миром и всем вокруг, то предел мне только небо
Я бы пересел в Q-45 Infiniti
Я бы избавился от ревности и преступности
И проживал бы остаток своих дней до глубокой старости
Полагаю, мне этого не видать, реальность жестока
Лучше и ты осознай, пока твоё время не вышло, в чём херня
[Припев: Lauryn Hill, (Nas)]
Если бы я правила миром (Представь себе)
Я б освободила всех наших ребят – я люблю, люблю их, детка!
Чёрные бриллианты и жемчужины
(Возможно, будь ты со мной, мы бы сияли вдвоём)
Если бы я правила миром
(Так же живём настоящим днём, даже в последние наши часы)
Если бы я правила миром, если бы, если бы правила (Представь себе)
Я б освободила всех наших ребят, если бы, если бы правила
Я люблю, люблю их, детка!
Чёрные бриллианты и жемчужины, чёрные бриллианты, чёрные бриллианты
(Возможно, будь ты со мной, мы бы сияли вдвоём)
Если бы я правила миром
(Так же живём настоящим днём, даже в последние наши часы)
[Аутро: Lauryn Hill]
Если бы я правила миром, если бы, если бы правила
Я б освободила всех наших ребят
Чёрные бриллианты – я люблю, люблю их, детка!
Чёрные бриллианты и жемчужины, если бы я…
Если бы я правила миром
Если бы я правила миром
Я люблю, люблю их, детка!
