[Intro: Crystal Torres] Imagine, imagine [Chorus: SIMON SAYZ] If I coulda, brought it back I wouldn't change a fucking thing If I coulda, brought it back (yeah, yea yea yea yeah) If I coulda, brought it back I wouldn't change a fucking thing If I coulda, brought it back (I'ma do the same thing, I'ma do the same thing) [Interlude] Man, fuck college! We finna do this rap shit [Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco] My mind's like 5 mics, rhyme tight, fuck it Limelight, shine bright, life short, love it Let's fill it with experiences Balls in my hand like the grand prize game, aiming for pocket sixes Throw back so that, you know when I say Back in the day, you know exactly where I go at Expanding my vocabulary Rapping every word off the magazine covers down at Walgreens That's a .357 Magnum like Tackleberry Academics took a backseat like Hightower I flowered my power, yeah yeah yeah yeah [Chorus: SIMON SAYZ] If I coulda, brought it back I wouldn't change a fucking thing If I coulda, brought it back (yeah, yea yea yea yeah) If I coulda, brought it back I wouldn't change a fucking thing If I coulda, brought it back (I'ma do the same thing, I'ma do the same thing) [Interlude] Yo, we got a contract on the table from Atlantic Records What do you think? [Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco] Well every rose has its thorn, and if I could be reborn I mean to be the king, even Jesus puts 'em on So, Atlantic ocean motion might make you sell funny Betcha didn't know the advance went straight to bail money That's right, to free Chilly Chill And to do it all again, I would sign another deal Still kinda paranoid from when they leaked my tape Jeopardize being friendly just to keep mine safe When keeping it real goes right, I couldn't keep my faith By third album I was done, you shoulda seen my face Fuck Craig, fuck rap, fuck this, fuck that Fuck your 360 deal, nigga, that shit's wack I was Truth.com with no backup plan Got blackballed, couldn't find a job, tryna backup dance That shit was crazy, thanks to my back-up fans I guess what lawyers can't do, (we are Anonymous) the hackers can [Chorus: SIMON SAYZ & Crystal Torres] If I coulda, brought it back I wouldn't change a fucking thing If I coulda, brought it back (yeah, yea yea yea yeah) If I coulda, brought it back I wouldn't change a fucking thing If I coulda, brought it back (I'ma do the same thing, I'ma do the same thing) [Interlude] You wouldn't change nothin'? Like nothin'!? [Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco] Well, that's not totally true Young Lupe, I wish I could be totally you But that's the way it works, came to bring the pain, that's the way it hurts Picking in the scabs from the past just gon' make it worse Can't be 21 every time I sit and make a verse When I did that song with NumbaNine, I was tryna break the curse The good don't make it out of the hood unless the hood make it out you first All you needs just to believe that you can leave Crown B and Es made me believe that I could lead Righteous deeds, planting seeds for good society So you see that I can't be totally new Cause there's a future Lupe out there that wanna be both of me too And nobody really knows what the future holds All the future sins for our future souls And what I am doing now I couldn't do before What would you do, man, if you could go? [Chorus: SIMON SAYZ & Crystal Torres] If I coulda, brought it back I wouldn't change a fucking thing If I coulda, brought it back (yeah, yea yea yea yeah) If I coulda, brought it back I wouldn't change a fucking thing If I coulda, brought it back (I'ma do the same thing, I'ma do the same thing)
