Imagine

歌詞

Imagine if I showed you one day I was leavin da hood, Would you call me a sell out, would you say it's all good? Would you follow if you could? Or would you jus' tell me get da hell out? And imagine if I showed you that I'd found another way Of gettin' dough with out doin' dirt, let's blurt Would you love me for givin' you some hope? Or resent me 'cause your pride got hurt? Imagine if we never grew up on a council estate And was country manor raised, with a spoon in our mouth Would we still be makin' fuss about da east an' da south? Would we shiver at da robberies, murder an' da crack? And thank God that we didn't have to live like that Jus' an image on da TV as were comfortably sat sippin' wine Room lit by da summer sunshine, Not a worry in da world as we cash while we chat Oblivious to how we would be livin' on da flipside No experience, not a clude about a rough ride No harrassment, no boy dem on our back side That'd be amazin' still! But I know you wonder would it make you any less real? What's da current spot your standin' in offerin'? If you had a better offer, would you go for da kill? Snap out of your daydream, how do you feel? Does it all seem worthwhile for ya? Try an' put it in perspective Retrospective of your profile and your honour, Do you wanna hang about or are you a goner? Come along, think fast, decision time You've been livin' in da grime, don't you wanna climb? Da ladder of life, da wall of enlightenment Or are you looking for da hype an' excitement 'Cause there's so much drama in da LDN It's kinda hard tryin' to find legal money to spend Generation genocide look possible Da rate at which we drew up for da sken An' pretend that we don't know who da real enemy is, Who should we hold responsible, instead we offend A couple square metres of pavement in da endz, What would we achieve, my friends?
