Imagine Lyrics - Brand New - Salt N Pepa

Chorus: 

Imagine if we could live 

Imagine that, imagine that 

In this world without hate and prejudice 

Stop the violence, break the silence 

Judging each other is so crazy 

Crazy, yo, why you hate me 

Sometimes I think so hard, oh my God 

Was it closin' in on me 

I can't breathe, I can't breathe 

I can't breathe, I can't breathe, oh 

Sandra "Pepa" Denton: 

(Now tell me) Do you feel the rain (Uh-huh) too much pain 

Bloodstains in the brain, only the strong maintain 

Mad faces, different races 

Poisoning the minds of the kids with hatred, wasted (Yeah) 

From mom and dad, it's sad (Crazy sad) 

You mad about what, huh 

Got your guard dropped 

Love tryin' to get through (Oh yeah) 

Ignorance got you (That's right) 

Can't nobody stop you (True) 

Yeah, I watched you 

Calling everybody names, so how you figure (How you figure) 

I don't know, you call me nigger (Nigger) 

Behind my back, but I'm bigger than that 

A state of mind, one time (One time) 

When I shine baby, you shine (You shine) 

Chorus 

Cheryl "Salt" James: 

So maybe what's the solution (Tell me) 

The race pollution (Word) 

Was the constitution written for us (Uh-uh) 

I don't trust, did they mean all, did they mean just us 

No justice, back of the bus, bend over, homie (True) 

If you know it, you better show it (Rock the vote) 

Rock the boat, keep hope, uh 

Martin Luther King (King) 

Had the scheme, had the dream (Dream) 

Killing must cease, we need peace 

More unity in the community 

That means more you and me together 

Don't let the, hate block you, lock you in the past 

Believe you can fly, keep your head high (To the sky) 

Chorus 

Sheryl Crow: 

Free your mind, let it be 

You know we got rid of this hate in me (Love, love) 

I've got so much love to give 

Leave me alone, live and let live 

Let love grow, let it flow 

It's good for the heart and it's good for the soul 

Cheryl "Salt" James: 

Follow God's will (Say what) 

Can you feel that (Uh-huh) 

That's keepin' it real, come on y'all, kill that 

Exterior don't make you superior 

Skin tones is the fury of religious war zones 

In your own neighborhood, it ain't all good 

Guns don't make you bad, you've been had 

You've been dissed, got it twisted, senses shifted 

Brainwashed by an image and you was gifted 

Beautiful and black when you comin' back 

Sellin' crack in the land, stand up and be a man 

Better get an education, divided nation 

In the name of God, sex discrimnations 

I can't breathe 

Chorus
