Testo If i ruled Lauryn Hill

If i ruled

Life..... I wonder....
Will it take me under.... Idon't know[
Verse One: Nas]Imaginesmoking weed in the streets without cops harassin
Imaginegoing to court with no trial
Lifestyle cruising blue behindmy waters
No welfare supporters more conscious of the waywe raise ourdaughters
Days are shorter, nights arecolder
Feeling like life is over, these snakes strike likea cobra
The world's hot my son got not evidentlyIt's elementary, they want us all gone eventually
Trooping out of state for a plate knowledgeof coke wascooked without the garbage we'd all have the topdollars
Imagine everybody flashin, fashion
Designerclothes, lacing your click up with diamond vogues
Yourpeople holdin dough, no parole
No rubbers, go in rawimagine law with no undercovers
Just some thoughts for themind
I take a glimpse into timewatch the blimp read"
The World Is Mine"[Chorus: Lauryn Hill, Nas]If I ruled the world
Imagine thatI'dfree all my sons, I love em love em baby
Black diamonds andpearls
Could it be, if you could be mine, we'dboth shine
If I ruled the world
Still livin for today,inthese last days and times[
Verse Two: Nas]The way to be, paradise like relaxin black, latinoandanglo-saxon
Armani exchange the reinsCash,
Lost Tribe of Shabazz, free at last
Brand new whips tocrash then we laugh in the iller path
The Villa house isfor the crew, how we do
Trees for breakfast, dime sexes and
Benz stretches
So many years of depression make mevision
The better livin, type of place to raise kids in
Open they eyes to the lies history's told foulButI'm as wise as the old owl, plus the Gold ChildSeeingthings like I was controlling, click rollin
Trickin sixdigits on kicks and still holdin
Trips to Paris, Icivilized every savage
Gimme one shot I turn trife life tolavish
Political prisonner set free, stress free Nowork release purple M3's and jet skis Feel the windbreeze in West IndiesI make Coretta Scott-King mayor thecities and reverse themes toWillies
It sounds foulbut every girl I meet to go downtownI'd open everycell in Attica send em to Africa[Chorus: LaurynHill, Nas]If I ruled the world
Imagine thatI'd free all my sons, I love em love em baby
Blackdiamonds and pearls
Could it be, if you could bemine, we'd both shine
If I ruled the world
Stilllivin for today, inthese last days and times
And then we'll walk right up to the sun
Hand inhandWe'll walk right up to the sun
We won'tlandWe'll walk right up to the sun
Hand inhandWe'll walk right up to the sun
We won'tland[Verse Three: Nas]You'd love tohear the story how the thugs live in worry
Duck down in carseats, heat's mandatory
Runnin from Jake, gettinchased, hunger for papes
These are the breaks many mistakesgo down out of state
Wait, I had to let it marinate wecarry weight
Tryin to get laced, flip the ace stack thesafe
Millionaire plan to keep the gat with the copcamera
Makin moves in Atlanta, back and forth scrambler
Cause you could have all the chips, be poor or rich
Stillnobody want a nigga havin shit
If I ruled the world andeverything in it, sky's the limit
I push a Q-45InfinitIt wouldn't be no such thing as jealousies or
B FeloniesStrictly living longevity to the destiny
Ithought I'd never see but reality struck
Better findout before your time's out, what the fuck??[
Chorus: Lauryn Hill, Nas]If I ruled the world Imagine thatI'd free all my sons, I love em embaby
Black diamonds and pearls
Could it be, if youcould be mine, we'd both shine
If I ruled theworld
Still livin for today, inthese last days andtimes
If I ruled the world, if I ruled, if I ruled
Imagine thatI'd free all my sons, if I ruled,if I ruled
I love em love em baby
Black diamonds andpearls, black dimaonds Could it be, if you couldblack diamonds be mine, we'd both shine
