[A] [Gm] Fake love, no [Dm] love, you get the slugs, [C] CB4, Gusto, your luck low, I didn't know till I was [Gm] drunk though
You eat cats, [Dm] blade out, get robbed, [Cm] laid out, can't be no turn snitch, I [Am] got the eyes [Gm] out
96 ways [Dm] of made out, Montana [Cm] way, the good F-E-L [C]-L-A, verbal AK [Gm] spray, dip the taxi
[Dm] Jump out the range, empty [C] out the ashtray, the glasses A, make [D] your man cast [Gm] his clay
Red dot plot, [Dm] murder schemes, 32 [Cm] shots rung, regulate [C] with my thug, 17 [Gm] rocks, green from one ring
[Dm] Yo, let me let y'all people know [C] one thing, it's one life, rule up so there can only be one king
[G#] Life,
[F#]
[G#] I [F] wonder, will it [F#] take me under?
I don't know
[B] Imagine smoking weed in the street without cops harassing, imagine going to court with no trial
Life style, cruising blue Bahama 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, evidently, it's elementary, they want us all gone eventually
Trooping out of state for a plate, knowledge, [N] if it was cooked without the garbage, we'd all have the top dollars
Imagine everybody flashing, fashion designer clothes, [Bm] lacing your clique [A#] up with diamond robes
Your [C#] people mow the door, no parole, no rubbers, going raw, [G] imagine law with [N] no undercovers
Just some thoughts for the mind, I take a glimpse into time, watch the blend, read the world as mine
If I ruled the world, imagine that, I'd free all my black diamonds and pearls
Could it be, if you could be mine, we both shine, if I ruled the world, still living [A#] for today, in these last days of time
Paradise life, relaxing, black, Latino, and Anglo-Saxon, I'm on the exchange, range, cash, lost, promised, fast
Free at last, brand new hipster craft, then we laugh in the illa path, the villa houses for the crew, how we do
Trees for breakfast, dime sexes have been stretches, so many years of depression make me vision
We better live in, type of place to raise kids in, opening eyes to the lies, history's told foul
But I'm as wise as [D#] the old Al, plus a gold child, seeing [C#] things like I wasn't told in, [F#] click rolling
Tricking [N] six digits on kicks and still holding, trips to Paris, not civilized, that'd be savage
Give me one shot, I turn tripe life to lavish, political prisoners set free, stress free
No work for lease, purple M3s and jet skis, feel the wind breeze in West Indies
Not like Coretta, Scott King, Mayor of the cities, and pervert fiends, the willies, they sound foul
But every girl I meet'll go downtown, I'd open every cell in Attica, send them to Africa
If I ruled the world, imagine that, I'd free
[F#]
[Fm] all my black diamonds and [N] pearls
Credit me, if you could be mine, we won't stop
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 love to hear the story, how the thugs live in worry
Ducked down in car seats, heaps mandatory
Running for Jake, getting chased, hunger for pips
These are the breaks, many mistakes, go down out of state
Wait, I had to let it marinate, we carry weight
Tryna get laced, flip the A-Stack to safe
Millionaire planet, eat the duke with the cock hammer
Making moves in Atlanta, back and forth, Rantler
Cause you can have all the chips, be poor or rich
Still nobody want a brother having shh
If I ruled the world and everything in it, sky's the limit
I pushed two-four-five and fin it, it wouldn't be no such thing
As jealousies or beef felony, 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
If I ruled the world, imagine that
I'd free all my children, if I'm the one, baby
That time is mine, if I'm the one, baby
