[Intro: Snoop Dogg (Black Ty)]
Yo Doc, what up my nigga?
Black Ty (I'm here)
Snoop Dogg, this what it is, man
This record is so motherfuckin′ gangsta, man
And I think it's time
To just tone it down a bit, come on (Let's go)
"Imagination is the key to all things
If you see it, you can be it"
[Verse 1: Black Ty]
Black Ty
Imagine if I wasn't born in Watts
Imagine if I didn't have respect for the block
Imagine if I didn't know who God was
Imagine if there never was a 'Cuz or a Blood
Imagine if the watchtowers was the pyramids
We'll be all bowin' down praying, period
Imagine if you ever let Black Ty shine
You got your R&B money, now let me get mine
Imagine the wеst without Cube, Snoop, Dre, NWA
Or my nigga Eazy
Man they startеd this gangsta shit
And this the motherfuckin' thanks they get?
Imagine if my nigga 'Pac was still here
Most of your remixers wouldn't even have a career
Imagine if B.I.G. and 'Pac was never shot
And Freeway never sprinkled crack on the block
[Chorus: D'Angelo (Black Ty)]
Before we go, can you imagine?
Picture years with your mom, can you imagine? (Damn)
Paint a picture in the sky, can you imagine? (Imagine that)
Call emergency, I′ve been dreamin' all my life
[Verse 2: Snoop Dogg]
Could you imagine bein' lit up by some hot shells?
Imagine bein′ tossed around and put in jail
Imagine life when you can′t get from under
Imagine niggas at you when you done fo'
Remember how they asked you what you run for
And treat you like a bitch?
When they kick you in your dick and take your shit?
We actin′ like they hate to see you gung ho
But just imagine if the rappin' got the gun, no
But you already know
Imagine niggas in the LBC
Felt just like Snoop Dogg & D R E
And felt just like the niggas in the 213
Then imagine that′s what's comin′ when you fuckin' with me
Imagine you was up on top of this shit
Imagine if the bitches could stay off this dick
I mean imagine we said fuck this shit
Imagine if my niggas got together and tore up this bitch, yeah
You can't imagine growin′ up in the jail, dunn
Happy just to be alive′ watchin' all your people run
But you imagine growin′ up to sell your 50 million records worldwide
Or fuckin' off somebody′s son
Imagine if these niggas never saw a color
Would it be peaceful in them streets where niggas kill each other?
All the drunk fool get is pissed on balls
He fuckin' off my niggas, they gon′ murder us all, imagine that
[Chorus: D'Angelo (Black Ty)]
Before we go, can you imagine? (Imagine that)
Picture years with your mom, can you imagine? (Damn)
Paint a picture in the sky, can you imagine? (Imagine that)
Call emergency, I've been dreamin' all my life, all my life
[Verse 3: Black Ty]
Imagine if the groom survived fifty shots
Imagine if a rapper killed a hip hop cop
Imagine if Kramer never said the n-word
Don't try to fix it now dog, that's your favorite word
Man, imagine if my nigga B.I.G. was still alive
It wouldn't be so many niggas claimin' the King of NY
Brooklyn would be on fire again
And all the BDS would be Biggie Smalls space
Imagine if I never got on the bus
Imagine if we didn't have a God we could trust
It'd be a whole lotta lost people runnin' around
Who really wouldn't give a fuck about bein' underground
Imagine if the black man stayed out prison
Imagine if you didn't sell records from dissin'
And imagine if I really worked with Dr. Dre
If I stayed prayed up it'll happen one day
I been workin' with Dre for 2 years, he don't know it yet
A West Coast legend for sure, much respect
Keep imaginin'
[Chorus: D'Angelo (Black Ty)]
Before we go, can you imagine? (Imagine that)
Picture years with your mom, can you imagine? (Damn)
Paint a picture in the sky, can you imagine? (Imagine that)
Call emergency, I've been dreamin' all my life, all my life (Dr. Dre)
[Verse 4: Dr. Dre]
Imagine it never happened
Imagine no rappin'
Imagine niggas trapped imagining having action
Imagine how these niggas could be actin' if we never got this shit crackin'
Imagine life so hard
You can't imagine, it's like livin' in the City of God, you feel me?
Imagine life on the yard
Or tryna get that dollar on some shitty-ass job
Imagine Biggie with his son
Imagine 'Pac gettin' called "Pop" by one
Imagine a mother struggling
Dealing with a system that don't give a fuck about who shot her son, hm
Imagine life where you can't win
When you get out of the ghetto, and go right to the pen
When you get out to the pen, you go right to the gin
So if you get back to the streets, you go right back in
Imagine Russell still struggling
No Def Jam, just another nigga hustlin'
And ain't no rocks on them fellas
Just rocks on them fellas, just tryna keep it bubblin'
Imagine niggas just stuck
From the East to the West Coast, everybody fucked up
I can't imagine no less
But it don't take imagination to know niggas been blessed with hip-hop
[Chorus: D'Angelo (Black Ty)]
Before we go, can you imagine? (Imagine that)
Picture years with your mom, can you imagine? (Damn)
Paint a picture in the sky, can you imagine? (Imagine that)
Call emergency, I've been dreamin' all my life, all my life
