Imagine - Common, PJ

I been dreaming of a paradise

Somewhere a little Paris-like where I wanna be

Let’s travel to the greener side

A lovely place inside my mind, don’t you want to see?

Imagine layers in a game where we all players

No more stargazing or police car chasing

Imagine life that bring us Lauryn Hill-type of singers

Even the righteous schemers still let Christ redeem us

Life is greener on this side, the bauty that we see

Be coming from inside, imagin if

You a God and she a goddess

My people get free, locked up from weed charges

We no longer targets or bodies on the market

Clean water coming out of Flint faucets, it’s awesome

Not being petty, but got petty cash

Everything on the path we already have

Imagine having a woman like Betty Shabazz

Steady with class, ready to blast 'til the chariots pass

To take me to my new destination

I think in miracles, it’s my imagination

I been dreaming of a paradise

Somewhere a little Paris-like where I wanna be

Let’s travel to the greener side

A lovely place inside my mind, don’t you want to see?

Imagine days divine, no longer in a race with time

Every day we wake up is a day to shine

Imagine you could turn water to your favorite wine

And when you taking down your girl, you can take your time

Imagine loving you enough, you don’t need a like

Kids' fathers in they life just to lead them right

No longer worried 'bout sickness 'cause we eating right

Amanda Gorman poems mantras that we recite

Imagine not being politically correct, but

Spiritually direct, still giving the respect

Imagine if you could change the world through song

No longer do we have to pay back school loans

Imagine in the hood doin' our own renovations

Another way to keep the dollars circulatin'

Mountain tops of patience just to heal a nation

Since I was little, I had a big imagination

I been dreaming of a paradise

Somewhere a little Paris-like where I wanna be

Let’s travel to the greener side

A lovely place inside my mind, don’t you want to see?

Good times without no care

Won’t you let me take you there?

Don’t you want to come with me?

Don’t you want to come and see?

Good times without no care

Won’t you let me take you there?

Don’t you want to come with me?

Don’t you want to come and see?
