Story Behind the Song
If you're human, then it's the story of your life... and mine
Lyrics
Is it real? Or is it just a fairy tale…
Will it be too late, will I find out in hell?
The flesh rambles.. tryin’to keep control
Should I gamble… live this or save my soul
Imagine… a life without/ the worries/ of everyday
A life without/ the burdains/ a happier way
To live breathin no’heat… without polution
A life that neva’violates a man’s constitution
A life where politicians don’t exist… picture this
Where tears of joy is all we’ll know/ when we remeniss
Memories never bitter/ always sweet… just imagine this
Being flyin’thru the skies… where there be no risk
A place where death is a thing never spoken of
Pain is not known… no such thing as broken love
No darkness… and no shadow… a brighter day
I start this, and you follow… a higher way
No cancer, and no sickness… no disease
The answer to a prayer… I’m on my knees
Will I see this place… enjoy it from within?
Will I see His face… or will I die in sin
Imagine somewhere where the sun never comes down
Imagine somewhere where no face ever has a frown
Imagine no poor, no rich, everybody happy
Imagine no difference between straight or nappy
Imagine no hospitals, and no death bed
Imagine no pills, or medicines… no blood shed
Imagine streets so clean, you see yo’reflection
Imagine kids playin’everywyere… every direction
No lonely nights, no tears of pain from under
No no homey fights, no years of rain, no hunger
No welfare, food stamps, robbin’for food
No mo’strippin’just to feed the young… no hood-
Lums running around husslin crack dough
No mo’minorities sittin’on the back row
No sad songs, just smiles everywhere you turn
No suffering from the pain of a lesson learned
so you’s a gambla’huh? Check the odds tho’
all the things you say you love costin’mad dough
cigarettes, alcohol, and the O.P.P.
What about ya’lungs, kidney, and the HIV
Doin’all these things, helpin’nobody
Latty, latty… drinkin’on the dark bacardi
Is gon’catch up, like the thug-life, did john gotti
Hope you know that hell’s gon’be nooo party
And in the outside, so smooth, but yu’s dyin man
That’s why come night time… ya’soul’s cryin man
Taking chances everyday… not the right way
Try Jesus, see the diff’rnce tween night n day
And in the outside, so smooth, but yu’s dyin man
That’s why come night time… ya’soul’s cryin man
Taking chances everyday… not the right way
Try Jesus, see the diff’rnce tween night n day
