*featuring Sheryl Crow

|
[Chorus:]
|
|
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
|
|
[Sandra "Pepa" Denton:]
|
|
(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)
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Cheryl "Salt" James:]
|
|
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)
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Sheryl Crow:]
|
|
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
|
|
[Cheryl "Salt" James:]
|
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
