《Imagine》歌词

[00:00:00] Imagine - Kendrick Lamar (肯德里克·拉马尔)

[00:00:03] I sit on the studio couch

[00:00:04] Ask myself

[00:00:05] What the f**k am I thinking about

[00:00:07] Thinking 'bout living

[00:00:07] Without the past and the present

[00:00:10] A Dr Dre record imagine

[00:00:12] I drift of 600 seconds

[00:00:14] 10 mintues exact

[00:00:15] Letting my mind explore

[00:00:17] K Dot had turned Curious George

[00:00:19] You know off the hardship is

[00:00:20] What I'm curious for

[00:00:21] Like what if Pac had never

[00:00:23] Looked left to holla at broads

[00:00:25] Before he turned right to get them

[00:00:26] Shots through the door

[00:00:27] They say Suge did it

[00:00:28] But he was in emergency clinic

[00:00:30] So he'd risk his own life

[00:00:31] To get someone else killed

[00:00:32] But in the process get injured

[00:00:34] It don't make sense

[00:00:35] It's like the Da Vinci Code

[00:00:37] Trying the solve the crime of these rap souls

[00:00:39] What if B I G never did it big

[00:00:40] Never went to L A

[00:00:42] Would it make a difference

[00:00:43] In them bullet-holes

[00:00:44] Would it make my flow flow more persistent

[00:00:46] Would it raise up the bar of competition

[00:00:48] Who knows

[00:00:49] Who told Nastradamus baby

[00:00:50] Momma was f**king with HOV

[00:00:52] Would the battle be less interesting

[00:00:53] If it wasn't personal

[00:00:55] If Jay wasn't intimate

[00:00:56] There'd probably be less people listening

[00:00:58] People thinking it's a publicity stunt

[00:01:01] What if he partnered

[00:01:02] With Jay and still didn't blow

[00:01:04] Hip-hop would really be f**ked

[00:01:05] Something like Milli Vanilli

[00:01:07] Nothing different quite similar

[00:01:09] Filling up my mind capacity

[00:01:10] Thinking about Martin Luther

[00:01:12] On the balcony

[00:01:13] What if the shooter

[00:01:15] Better yet

[00:01:15] What if Malcolm on the side

[00:01:17] Killed two birds with one stone

[00:01:18] Both would've died

[00:01:19] Now let's rewind

[00:01:21] Before we go

[00:01:23] Can you imagine

[00:01:26] Picture years with your mom

[00:01:29] Can you imagine

[00:01:31] Hang her picture in the sky

[00:01:34] Can you imagine

[00:01:37] Call emergency I've been dreamin' all my life

[00:01:41] All life

[00:01:42] Imagine if Tookie was a Blood Look

[00:01:45] No disrespect

[00:01:46] But would there be more Bloods

[00:01:47] Than Crips sets

[00:01:48] Dominating the population of

[00:01:50] L A Orange County the Valley

[00:01:52] And back up to the bay

[00:01:53] Matter fact imagine

[00:01:54] If we didn't really start this gangster sh*t

[00:01:56] Y'all wouldn't have nothin' to spit

[00:01:58] No drive bys

[00:01:59] No flags stickin' out pockets

[00:02:01] No NWA dudes

[00:02:03] Just rappin like Cre Cru

[00:02:04] Imagine if Mike Concepcion

[00:02:06] Walked on his own two

[00:02:07] Feet no paralyzed

[00:02:08] Would he be alive

[00:02:09] Or would he been lost his life to the streets

[00:02:12] No match no cars in that driveway

[00:02:14] What if Freeway Rick never was a kingpin

[00:02:17] On this L A strip

[00:02:19] Would these rap niggas use his name

[00:02:20] Nah what if rap niggas never had rap

[00:02:23] Would they try to fall back on this drug game

[00:02:26] These rappers a** backwards

[00:02:27] Now these rappers getting caught

[00:02:29] With the coc*ine

[00:02:30] Not to smoke but to slang

[00:02:32] Imagine that people not knowing

[00:02:34] These rap niggas insane

[00:02:36] Just think about it

[00:02:37] Think about it

[00:02:38] Before we go

[00:02:40] Can you imagine

[00:02:43] Picture years with your mom

[00:02:46] Can you imagine

[00:02:48] Hang her picture in the sky

[00:02:51] Can you imagine

[00:02:54] Call emergency I've been dreamin' all my life

[00:02:58] Imagine life without death

[00:03:00] Would you even feel alive

[00:03:02] Your people that passed

[00:03:03] What if they never died

[00:03:04] Imagine seeing your mom cry

[00:03:06] Tears of happiness

[00:03:07] Knowing her son safe

[00:03:08] And she ain't lose him to this madness

[00:03:10] The street living

[00:03:11] What if the crack epidemic

[00:03:13] Never reached the projects

[00:03:14] And destroyed our buildings

[00:03:15] Turned most of us to killers

[00:03:17] Innocent victims

[00:03:18] Imagine if heroine didn't affect our system

[00:03:21] They say drug money funding the labels today

[00:03:23] What about the drug money

[00:03:25] That's funding the C I A

[00:03:26] Imagine if they really tried to fix these streets

[00:03:29] Would they start in the hood

[00:03:30] Or executive suites

[00:03:32] Where the real criminals meet

[00:03:33] And principals beef with me

[00:03:35] You could possibly live without heat

[00:03:37] Imagine if Al Gore had won that election

[00:03:40] Would the Twin Tower buildings

[00:03:42] Still stand erected

[00:03:43] Imagine the penal system

[00:03:44] Without witness protection

[00:03:46] Would there be these many cowards

[00:03:47] On the stand telling

[00:03:48] I don't know

[00:03:49] I'm just speaking my mind

[00:03:51] Lost in my own soul

[00:03:52] Just press rewind and imagine

[00:03:54] Imagine imagine imagine

[00:04:00] (Training day training day)

[00:04:01] (Training day training day)
