If I Ruled Paroles

colderFeeling like life is over, these snakes strike like
a cobraThe world's hot my son got not evidentlyIt's elementary, they want us all gone eventuallyTrooping out of state for a plate knowledgeof coke was
cooked without the garbage we'd all have the topdollarsImagine everybody flashin, fashionDesigner
clothes, lacing your click up with diamond voguesYour
people holdin dough, no paroleNo rubbers, go in raw
imagine law with no undercoversJust some thoughts for the
mindI take a glimpse into timewatch the blimp read
"The World Is Mine"[Chorus: Lauryn Hill, Nas]If I ruled the worldImagine thatI'd
free all my sons, I love em love em babyBlack diamonds and
pearlsCould it be, if you could be mine, we'd
both shineIf I ruled the worldStill livin for today,
inthese last days and times[Verse Two: Nas]The way to be, paradise like relaxin black, latino
andanglo-saxonArmani exchange the reinsCash,
Lost Tribe of Shabazz, free at lastBrand new whips to
crash then we laugh in the iller pathThe Villa house is
for the crew, how we doTrees for breakfast, dime sexes and
Benz stretchesSo many years of depression make me
visionThe better livin, type of place to raise kids inOpen they eyes to the lies history's told foulBut
I'm as wise as the old owl, plus the Gold ChildSeeing
things like I was controlling, click rollinTrickin six breeze in West IndiesI make Coretta Scott-King mayor the
cities and reverse themes toWilliesIt sounds foul
but every girl I meet to go downtownI'd open every
cell in Attica send em to Africa[Chorus: Lauryn
Hill, Nas]If I ruled the worldImagine thatI'd free all my sons, I love em love em babyBlack
diamonds and pearlsCould it be, if you could be
mine, we'd both shineIf I ruled the worldStill
livin for today, inthese last days and timesAnd then we'll walk right up to the sunHand in
handWe'll walk right up to the sunWe won't
landWe'll walk right up to the sunHand in
handWe'll walk right up to the sunWe won't
land[Verse Three: Nas]You'd love to
hear the story how the thugs live in worryDuck down in car
seats, heat's mandatoryRunnin from Jake, gettin
chased, hunger for papesThese are the breaks many mistakes
go down out of stateWait, I had to let it marinate we
carry weightTryin to get laced, flip the ace stack the
safeMillionaire plan to keep the gat with the cop
cameraMakin moves in Atlanta, back and forth scramblerCause you could have all the chips, be poor or richStill
nobody want a nigga havin shitIf I ruled the world and
everything in it, sky's the limitI push a Q-45
InfinitIt wouldn't be no such thing as jealousies or
B FeloniesStrictly living longevity to the destinyI
thought I'd never see but reality struckBetter find
out 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 em
babyBlack diamonds and pearlsCould it be, if you
could be mine, we'd both shineIf I ruled the
worldStill livin for today, inthese last days and
timesIf I ruled the world, if I ruled, if I ruled
