Lupe Fiasco - Imagine Lyrics
[Crystal Torres:]
Imagine, imagine
[Simon Sayz:]
If I coulda, brought it back
If I coulda, brought it back (yeah, yea yea yea yeah)
If I coulda, brought it back
I wouldn't change a fucking thing
If I coulda, brought it back
(I'ma do the same thing, I'ma do the same thing)
Man, fuck college! We finna do this rap shit
[Lupe Fiasco:]
My mind's like 5 mics, rhyme tight, fuck it
This feeling with experiences
Balls in my hand like the grand prize game, aiming for pocket sixes
Throw back, saw that, you know when I say
Back in the day, you know exactly where I go at
Expanding my vocabulary
Rapping every word of the magazine covers down at Walgreens
That's a 357 Magnum like Tackleberry
Academics took a backseat like Hightower
I flowered my power, yeah yeah yeah yeah
[Simon Sayz:]
If I coulda, brought it back
I wouldn't change a fucking thing
If I coulda, brought it back (yeah, yea yea yea yeah)
If I coulda, brought it back
I wouldn't change a fucking thing
If I coulda, brought it back
(I'ma do the same thing, I'ma do the same thing)
Yo, we got a contract on the table from Atlantic Records
What do you think?
[Lupe Fiasco:]
Well every rose has its thorn, and if I could be reborn
I mean to be the king, even Jesus puts 'em on
So, Atlantic ocean motion might make you sell funny
Betcha didn't know the advance went straight to bail money
That's right, to free Chilly Chill
And to do it all again, I would sign another deal
Still kinda paranoid from when they leaked my tape
Jeopardize being friendly just to keep mine safe
When keeping it real goes right, I couldn't keep my faith
By third album I was done, you shoulda seen my face
Fuck Craig, fuck rap, fuck this, fuck that
Fuck a 360 deal, nigga, that shit's wack
I was Truth.com with no backup plan
Got blackballed, couldn't find a job, tryna backup dance
That shit was crazy, thanks to my back-up fans
I guess if lawyers can't do it, the hackers can
[Simon Sayz & Crystal Torres:]
If I coulda, brought it back
I wouldn't change a fucking thing
If I coulda, brought it back (yeah, yea yea yea yeah)
If I coulda, brought it back
I wouldn't change a fucking thing
If I coulda, brought it back
(I'ma do the same thing, I'ma do the same thing)
You wouldn't change nothin'? Like nothin'?!
[Lupe Fiasco:]
Well, that's not totally true
Young Lupe, I wish I could be totally you
But that's the way it works, came to bring the pain, that's the way it hurts
Picking in the scabs from the past just gon' make it worse
Can't be 21 every time I spit and make a verse
When I did that song with NumbaNine, I was tryna break the curse
The good don't make it out of the hood unless the hood make it out you first
All you needs just to believe that you can leave
Crown B and Es made me believe that I could leave
Righteous deeds, planting seeds for good society
So you see that I can't be totally new
Cause there's a future Lupe out there that wanna be both of me too
And nobody really knows what the future really holds
All the future sends for our future souls
And what I am doing now I couldn't do before
What would you do, man, if you could go?
[Simon Sayz & Crystal Torres:]
If I coulda, brought it back
I wouldn't change a fucking thing
If I coulda, brought it back (yeah, yea yea yea yeah)
If I coulda, brought it back
I wouldn't change a fucking thing
If I coulda, brought it back
(I'ma do the same thing, I'ma do the same thing)

🐐 #Imagine
I wish the intro instrument was a song on its own
When I heard this the first time the day he dropped it. I couldn't speak for a day man. This, was in my opinion his best song for 100 reasons. The beat is perfect.
Imagine, imagine
If I coulda, brought it back
I wouldn't change a fucking thing
If I coulda, brought it back (yeah, yea yea yea yeah)
If I coulda, brought it back
I wouldn't change a fucking thing
If I coulda, brought it back
(I'ma do the same thing, I'ma do the same thing)
Man, fuck college! We finna do this rap shit
My mind's like 5 mics, rhyme tight, fuck it
Limelight, shine bright, life shore, love it
This feeling with experiences
Balls in my hand like the grand prize game, aiming for pocket sixes
Throw backs, all that, you know when I say
Back in the day, you know exactly where I go at

“I guess what lawyers can’t do, the hackers can.” Fucking golden 🏆
I think he's talking about anonymous (hackers ??? ? RIGHT
Tetsuo and Youth was a great album i don't why Atlantic did not want to release it!
Drogas Wave is following in that path!
Crystal Torres voice is amazing.
LOL... i mean, i don't mean to distract from the uplifting positive intention behind it but regarding, "all you need's just that you beLIEVE thatchu can leave" - imagine me at LAX all ready to move back to india (from this american "hood")... :) and they like, "no sir, you need to have a ticket"... and i'm like, "but i beLEIEVE thatican leave... ?u haven't heard that new lupe?" lol
You’re missing the point. He’s saying your mindset needs to be beyond the hood before you can actually leave
Quazy said be yourself.how can you be yourself when you refer to yourself as an adjective(black),has anybody looked up the word lately,it's not your identity it's a straight up construct that deludes to slavery. Wake up and stop being retarded.
What's the reference to him saying thanks to his backup fans because they did what the lawyers couldnt do?
if i remember right Atlantic held testuo and youth back not wanting to release it, so a load of people on reddit essentially hacked atlantic to pressure them into letting lupe release his album
Hacker group anonymous had to get involved and threatened Atlantic Records to release the album, Tetsuo and Youth, or they will get hacked. Less than a day after this threat Atlantic records posted a release date for the album.
Josue J yup, Anon came through lol
And the same thing with his 3rd album, lasers. They had people protesting and anon got involved then as well
@Nick Steve wrong, Anonymous didn't get involved for Lasers, just the fans.
Best song on album hands down
👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 dope
I love how the addressed the whole Atlanta records / anonymous hacking situation. really happy he got his album released
This album deserves a grammy straight up
The good don't make it out the hood unless the hood make it out you first 🔥
This whole album is soulful!
Album of the year 🔥🔥🔥
21 year old Lupe is the goat as is the 36 year old Lupe. I don't have to imagine that!
This my favorite for sure 🙏
GOAT IS BACK!!!!!!!!
Lu is a goat
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏽
