“If I ruled the world, imagine that” -Nas

Was Nas rapping to me about me for me?

Because if I ruled the world there would be no need to imagine anymore…

No more ghettos saturated with liquor stores

No more dirty old men ready to feed and lure

Time to discover HIV and cancer’s hidden cures

Time to teach our children education from the core

No more politicians left to bore

No more women left bruised beaten and sore

Time for cultured ethnicities to see open doors

Time to remove from prisons all the blood and gore

No more skeletal bodies screaming our family’s poor

No more homeless sleeping outside parks and stores

Time for career opportunities instead of working whores

Time to stand up and get off the drug infested floors

No more

No more

No more

If I ruled the world

There would be no need to imagine anymore
