About This Track

‘Imagination’ by Quadeca is a 2019 Hip-Hop/Rap track from the album ‘Voice Memos’. The lyrics move between affection and self-invention, describing childhood wants and ambitions, including a desire for status that has to be hidden, and a retreat into imagination as a private space to dream. The verses also look ahead to a life transformed by that daydreaming, with a new confidence replacing earlier shyness. One clear line sets the emotional engine: “hide in my imagination”.

"Imagination" is a track by Quadeca, from the album Voice Memos, released 8th March 2019. The track is 2:32 long. It's filed under Hip-Hop/Rap. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Imagination

I love you, Paris
When I was eight, yeah, huh
I wanted a Wraith, yeah, huh
But I had to hide in my imagination
Back in the day, huh, huh, I wanted a name
Yeah
But I was too shy, I knew I'd never take it
Huh i had a dream, yeah, that
I got a mill’ streams, yeah
And now that’s shit's mine, I
Guess I really changed it, huh
(For real) no Post Malone
(No) , but I did it on my own (yeah)
And now it’s so high
They like "Congratulations", huh
(Ayy)
Back then, I imagined it
Now it’s happening, like, "What’s happening?"
All odds were against me
Like Croatia, and I’m Rakitić
Started off with a camera
'Cause nobody else saw the picture, huh
(yeah) times'd my earning by thirteen
Gave my bank account a Bar Mitzvah, huh
Now they know that I’m back
Up and I’m on call they been throwing shade
But I treat it like some dodgeball
They say I’m a trip, but you trippin'
I do not fall
Always on the outside, always been a oddball
Now it looks like I'm the one
Who making all the shot calls
Now it's like they lookin' up to me
But I am not tall
'Member I would pull to the mall
But I could not ball walkin' up to class
I knew I was in the wrong halls yeah
When I was eight, yeah, wanted a Wraith, huh
I had to hide in my imagination
Back in the day, I wanted a name, yeah
(I love you, Paris)
But I was too shy, I knew I had to take it
Huh i had a dream, huh, I
Got a mill' streams, yeah, huh
And now that’s shit's mine, I
Guess I really changed it, huh
No Post Malone, but I did it on my own
And now it’s so high, they
Like "Congratulations", huh, yeah, huh
Big shit, huh i want big shit, yeah, huh
Big rich, huh that’s the business (yeah)
Everybody been throwing them shots
If you dissin' my spot
Then you 'bout to get dismissed
I’m tryna kill this shit, huh
I want you to witness, yeah
I want the people to listen
I want them to know that I’m capable, yeah
(yeah)
Some of them think that I'm up at the top
And I’m still unavailable, yeah
Feel like I’m still just beginning
I can’t get ahead of my wishes
Yeah, I still imagine, still wish it happened
Bigger and better, like, yeah
When I was eight, huh, I wanted a Wraith
Yeah
I had to hide in my imagination, huh (yeah)
Back in the day, huh, huh
I wanted a name, yeah, huh
But I was too shy, I knew I'd never take it
Huh
I had a dream, yeah, I got a mill' streams
Yeah and now that’s shit's mine, I
Guess I really changed it, huh
No Post Malone
(No! Hahaha) , but I did it on my own
And now it’s so high
They like "Congratulations"
