Imagine (feat. PJ)

Common


I been dreaming of a paradise
Somewhere a little Paris like
Where I wanna be
Let's travel to the greener side
A lovely place inside my mind
Don't you wanna see

Imagine layers in the game where we all players
No more stargazing or police car chasing
Imagine life that bring us Lauryn Hill type of singers
Even the righteous schemers still let Christ redeem us
Life is greener on this side the beauty that we see
Be coming from inside, imagine if
You a God and she a Goddess
My people get free locked up from weed charges
We no longer targets or bodies on the market
Clean water coming out of Flint's faucets it's awesome
Not being petty but got petty cash
Everything on the path we already have
Imagine having a woman like Betty Shabazz
Steady with class, ready to blast, til the chariots pass
To take me to my new destination
I think in miracles it's my imagination

I been dreaming of a paradise
Somewhere a little Paris like
Where I wanna be
Let's travel to the greener side
A lovely place inside my mind
Don't you wanna see

Imagine days divine no longer in a race with time
Every day we wake up is a day to shine
Imagine you could turn water to your favorite wine
And when you taking down your girl you can take your time
Imagine loving you enough you don't need a like
Kids father's in they life just to lead them right
No longer worried about sickness 'cause we are eating right
Amanda Gorman's poems, mantras that we recite
Imagine not being politically correct
But spiritually direct still giving the respect
Imagine if you could change the world through song
No longer do we have to pay back school loans
Imagine in the hood doin' our own renovations
Another way to keep the dollars circulating
Mountain tops of patience just to heal a nation
Since I was little I had a big imagination

I been dreaming of a paradise
Somewhere a little Paris like
Where I wanna be
Let's travel to the greener side
A lovely place inside my mind
Don't you wanna see

Good times without no care
Won't you let me take you there
Don't you want to come with me
Don't you want to come and see

Good times without no care
Won't you let me take you there
Don't you want to come with me
Don't you want to come and see
