Imagine I can go back in time, when I thought the whole world was mine
It was all so simple, it was so fine,
Close my eyes and I see it all shine
I close my eyes and imagine I could go
Back, back in time. Classic like a throwback.
You know that golden era of the boom bap,
Snap snap, kick, clap, word to cognac, those were the days
Stacks under the floor mat. Turned a oz to a key but never wrote that
I gave my mom a hard time - lord knows that!
I ain't perfect I just pray the he won't hold that against me
Cuz I'm trying to keep it straighter
Than 6pm. Move at my own pace my own bpm
My own network, global connect like BBM, haters gonna see me then
Rise like helium, glasses toasted, drink to life, show and boast it
Spit flames hot just to keep them roasted.
Mr. mailman - you know I keep em posted!
Imagine I can go back in time, when I thought the whole world was mine
It was all so simple, it was so fine,
Close my eyes and I see it all shine
I close my eyes and imagine before I was
Claption. Making a movie, I was the main attraction
Before I was keeping up with the latest
Fashion I was trying to rap on beats with a passion
Get rich or die trying - Curtis Jackson.
Blunt passing, boom bap, music blasting.
Redman, it was time for some action.
Gotta pay the bills now it's time to bring the cash in
Rakim and Kool G, rocking my Coogie.
I was trying to settle the score like the Fugees
Like a Wyclef,
But I'm a cool cat with nine lives, but I only got one left
I close my eyes and I still see me shining.
Ladder of success and I still see me climbing
With mo baines and SHI 360,
So instead of hating y'all should get with me
Imagine I can go back in time, when I thought the whole world was mine
It was all so simple, it was so fine,
Close my eyes and I see it all shine
