If I Ruled The World Lyrics - It Was Written - Nas

Life... I wonder... 

Will it take me under... I don't know 

Imagine smoking weed in the streets without cops harassing 

Imagine going to court with no trial 

Lifestyle cruising blue behind my waters 

No welfare supporters more conscious of the way we raise our daughters 

Days are shorter, nights are colder 

Feeling like life is over, these snakes strike like a cobra 

The world's hot my son got knocked evidentaly 

It's elementary, they want us all gone eventually 

Trooping out of state for a plate knowledge 

of coke was cooked without the garbage we'd all have the top dollars 

Imagine everybody flashing, fashion 

Designer clothes, lacing your click up with diamond vogues 

Your people holding dough, no parole 

No rubbers, go in raw imagine law with no undercovers 

Just some thoughts for the mind 

I take a glimpse into time 

watch the blimp read "The World Is Mine"

If I ruled the world 

Imagine that 

I'd free all my sons, I love em love em baby 

Black diamonds and pearls 

Could it be, if you could 

be mine, we'd both shine 

If I ruled the world 

Still living for today, in 

these last days and times 

The way to be, paradise like relaxing black, latino and anglo-saxon 

Armani exchange the reins 

Cash, Lost Tribe of Shabazz, free at last 

Brand new whips to crash then we laugh in the iller path 

The Villa house is for the crew, how we do 

Trees for breakfast, dime sexes and Benz stretches 

So many years of depression make me vision 

The better living, type of place to raise kids in 

Open they eyes to the lies history's told foul 

But I'm as wise as the old owl, plus the Gold Child 

Seeing things like I was controlling, click rolling 

Tricking six digits on kicks and still holding 

Trips to Paris, I civilized every savage 

Gimme one shot I turn trife life to lavish 

Political prisoner set free, stress free 

No work release purple M's and jet skis 

Feel the wind breeze in West Indies 

I make Coretta Scott-King mayor the cities and reverse themes to Willies 

It sounds foul but every girl I meet to go downtown 

I'd open every cell in Attica send em to Africa

If I ruled the world 

Imagine that 

I'd free all my sons, I love em love em baby 

Black diamonds and pearls 

Could it be, if you could 

be mine, we'd both shine 

If I ruled the world 

Still living for today, in 

these last days and times 

And then we'll walk right up to the sun 

Hand in hand 

We'll walk right up to the sun 

We won't land 

We'll walk right up to the sun 

Hand in hand 

We'll walk right up to the sun 

We won't land 

You'd love to hear the story how the thugs live in worry 

Duck down in car seats, heat's mandatory 

Running from Jake, gettin chased, hunger for papes 

These are the breaks many mistakes go down out of state 

Wait, I had to let it marinate we carry weight 

Trying to get laced, flip the ace stack the safe 

Millionaire plan to keep the gat with the cop camera 

Making moves in Atlanta, back and forth scrambler 

Cause you could have all the chips, be poor or rich 

Still nobody want a nigga having shit 

If I ruled the world and everything in it, sky's the limit 

I push a Q- Infinit 

It wouldn't be no such thing as jealousies or B Felonies 

Strictly living longevity to the destiny 

I thought I'd never see but reality struck 

Better find out before your time's out, what the fuck?? 

If I ruled the world 

Imagine that 

I'd free all my sons, I love em em baby 

Black diamonds and pearls 

Could it be, if you could 

be mine, we'd both shine 

If I ruled the world 

Still living for today, in 

these last days and times 

If I ruled the world, if I ruled, if I ruled 

Imagine that 

I'd free all my sons, if I ruled, if I ruled 

I love em love em baby 

Black diamonds and pearls, black diamonds 

Could it be, if you could 

black diamonds 

be mine, we'd both shine 

If I ruled the world 

Still living for today, in 

these last days and times 

If I ruled the world, if I ruled 

if I ruled, I'd free all my sons 

black diamonds, I love em love em baby 

Black diamonds and pearls, if I ruled 

If I ruled the world 

If I ruled the world 

I love em love em baby!!
