Imagine if we could live
Imagine that, imagine that
In this world without hate and prejudice
Stop the violence, break the silence
Judging each other is so crazy
Crazy, yo, why you hate me
Sometimes I think so hard, oh my God
Was it closin' in on me
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I can't breathe, I can't breathe, oh
Now tell me Do you feel the rain Uh huh too much pain
Bloodstains in the brain, only the strong maintain
Mad faces, different races
Poisoning the minds of the kids with hatred, wasted Yeah
From mom and dad, it's sad Crazy sad
You mad about what, huh
Got your guard dropped
Love tryin' to get through Oh yeah
Ignorance got you That's right
Can't nobody stop you True
Yeah, I watched you
Calling everybody names, so how you figure How you figure
I don't know, you call me nigger Nigger
Behind my back, but I'm bigger than that
A state of mind, one time One time
When I shine baby, you shine You shine
So maybe what's the solution Tell me
The race pollution Word
Was the constitution written for us Uh uh
I don't trust, did they mean all, did they mean just us
No justice, back of the bus, bend over, homie True
If you know it, you better show it Rock the vote
Rock the boat, keep hope, uh
Martin Luther King King
Had the scheme, had the dream Dream
Killing must cease, we need peace
More unity in the community
That means more you and me together
Don't let the, hate block you, lock you in the past
Believe you can fly, keep your head high To the sky
Free your mind, let it be
You know we got rid of this hate in me Love, love
I've got so much love to give
Leave me alone, live and let live
Let love grow, let it flow
It's good for the heart and it's good for the soul
Follow God's will Say what
Can you feel that Uh huh
That's keepin' it real, come on y'all, kill that
Exterior don't make you superior
Skin tones is the fury of religious war zones
In your own neighborhood, it ain't all good
Guns don't make you bad, you've been had
You've been dissed, got it twisted, senses shifted
Brainwashed by an image and you was gifted
Beautiful and black when you comin' back
Sellin' crack in the land, stand up and be a man
Better get an education, divided nation
In the name of God, sex discrimnations
I can't breathe
