The better livin', type of place to raise kids in
In these last days an' times
Feel the wind breeze in West Indies
Still nobody want a nigga havin' shit
Cash, Lost Tribe of Shabazz, free at last
Wait, I had to let it marinate, we carry weight
An' then we'll walk right up to the sun
Strictly livin' longevity to the destiny
I'd free all my sons, I love 'em, love 'em, baby
Trickin' six digits on kicks an' still holdin'
Feelin' like life is over, these snakes strike like a cobra
So many years of depression make me vision
Your people holdin' dough, no parole
Imagine smokin' weed in the streets without cops harassin'
More conscious of the way we raise our daughters
Latino an' Anglo-Saxon, Armani exchange the reins
Black diamonds an' pearls, could it be
Of coke was cooked without the garbage, we'd all have the top dollars
If you could be mine, we'd both shine?
I love 'em, love 'em, baby
Hand in hand
If I ruled the world, still livin' for today
If I ruled the world
Political prisoner set free, stress free
We'll walk right up to the sun
If I ruled the world an' everythin' in it, sky's the limit
I push a Q-45 Infinit
No work, release purple M3's an' jet skis
If I ruled the world, still livin' for today
It sounds foul but every girl I meet to go downtown
Just some thoughts for the mind, I take a glimpse into time
Makin' moves in Atlanta, back an' forth scrambler
'Cause you could have all the chips, be poor or rich
Brand new whips to crash, then we laugh in the iller path
I'd free all my sons, I love 'em, love 'em, baby
I'd open every cell in Attica, send 'em to Africa
If you could be mine, we'd both shine?
An' reverse themes to Willies
Seein' things like I was controllin', click rollin'
We'll walk right up to the sun
Days are shorter, nights are colder
If I ruled the world, imagine that
Runnin' from jake, gettin' chased, hunger for papes
Black diamonds an' pearls, could it be
I'd free all my sons, I love 'em, love 'em, baby
We won't land
We won't land
In these last days an' times
Trees for breakfast, dime sexes an' Benz stretches
The way to be, paradise like relaxin' black
We'll walk right up to the sun
But I'm as wise as the old owl, plus the Gold Child
I'd free all my sons
In these last days an' times
Watch the blimp read 'The World Is Mine'
I'd free all my sons, I love 'em, love 'em, baby
These are the breaks, many mistakes go down out of state
Hand in hand
The Villa house is for the crew, how we do
You'd love to hear the story how the thugs live in worry
Black diamonds an' pearls, could it be
It wouldn't be no such thing as jealousies or B Felonies
Imagine everybody flashin', fashion
Imagine goin' to court with no trial
Designer clothes, lacin' your click up with diamond vogues
Black diamonds an' pearls, could it be
Trips to Paris, I civilized every savage
If I ruled the world, still livin' for today
In these last days an' times
I make Coretta Scott-King mayor the cities
Tryin' to get laced, flip the ace, stack the safe
If I ruled the world, still livin' for today
If I ruled the world, imagine that
If you could be mine, we'd both shine?
If you could be mine, we'd both shine?
Open they eyes to the lies history's told, foul
Better find out before your time's out, what the fuck?
If I ruled the world
It's elementary, they want us all gone eventually
If I ruled the world, imagine that
Lifestyle cruisin' blue behind my waters, no welfare supporters
If I ruled the world, imagine that
Troopin' out of state for a plate knowledge
Millionaire plan to keep the gat with the cop camera
No rubbers, go in raw, imagine law with no undercovers
Black diamonds an' pearls
Duck down in car seats, heat's mandatory
The world's hot, my son got not evidently
I thought I'd never see but reality struck
Gimme one shot I turn trife life to lavish
If I ruled the world
