[Verse 1]
Imagine walking out on the streets without cops blastin'
Imagine if Mike Brown ain't never died
What if Goldman Sachs wasn't running the Fed
I wonder, will we have a better chance to survive
Na na na, we from the bottom so we gotta stay alive
And they say, "Lock us in narcotics,"
Now the rules do not apply to them
Yea, we're dying off their side effects
Antibiotics in our diets, the food should be prescribed to us
But how we living? In and out of prison
But imagine if they treated addition like it's a sickness
You go to jail, they make a record profit
But I wonder, what would happen when dollars follow tuition?
And it would be different, but they don't wanna fix it
Cuz the more we suffer, the more that it get 'em richer
My homies got degrees but they still can't make a livin'
f** wishin', now let's go and get it..
[Chorus: DeVo D.]
Millions watch as Martin marches, (Still hear the chants..)
That led us through the dark and heartless
If I ruled (If I ruled..Imagine that..) I'd free all my sons, (Free 'em all baby..)
At least give them a chance
[Verse 2]
What if the homies all had luxury sweats?
What if the drama didn't come with the s**?
What if college didn't put us in debt?
What if they let Obama do what he said?
And he did't have to answer to the companies and lobbyists
Or them cops that caught them bodies up in Washington
What if s**tapes wasn't making women blow?
Would we be keeping up with women from a different show?
Now what you mean? You don't need no surgery
Girl you beautiful as hell, all you need is self-esteem
Now they wanna k** our people in the street
Cuz poverty's like a disease that they cure with HIV
For the people that I've seen struggling and it's humbling
The minute I get it, you better believe that I'm gonna come for them
Imagine if all our fathers stuck with our mothers, and maybe we would learn how to love again
[Chorus: DeVo D.]
Millions watch as Martin marches, (Still hear the chants..)
That led us through the dark and heartless
If I ruled (If I ruled..Imagine that..) I'd free all my sons, (Free 'em all baby..)
At least give them a chance
[Verse 3: DeVo D.]
We all are living in a world so crazy
But these are my brother, I love 'em, love 'em, baby
If all the pain is just part of the plan
Then we'll walk right up to the sun, hand in hand
[Chorus: DeVo D.]
Millions watch as Martin marches, (Still hear the chants..)
That led us through the dark and heartless
If I ruled (If I ruled..Imagine that..) I'd free all my sons, (Free 'em all baby..)
At least give them a chance
