imagine that - audyo lyrics
(1st verse)
imagine this
i walk into my cl-ss about history
and learned something fresh out of the blue like it was listerine
thank god, because the previous was trash
making me think that my ancestors were nothing in the past
had me question, was it all terror and fear yo
no. so tell me why never had a hero?
with the writers, innovators and inventors, breaking barriers big as those saying
“colored, do not enter”
but they wanted their freedom
and they proved their greatness
they did all that they cold to fight the blatant
bigotry and animosity from all those racist
but the fact that they kept going just gives me the strength to say this
imagine what be different if we were taught
what we are rather than what we’re not
imagine if this was deeper than rap
i don’t know if you would man, but i’ll imagine that
(chorus)
imagine all that we could be
if our past wasn’t a mystery
crazy how it tends to seem
like we were nothing in our history
imagine what be different if we were taught
what we are rather than what we’re not
imagine if this was deeper than rap
i don’t know if you would man, but i’ll imagine that
(bridge)
they ask me why i talk about the past
i say so we can understand the now
so i’mma have thank some of the greats
in the only way i think i know how
(2nd verse)
like lewis latimer, that filament you made, it helped me see
that edison getting known for your light was wrong but
you held your head high in sky
like charles chappelle spreading his wings, so he could fly
back when they didn’t want us to know how to read or write
even though the wright brothers, they never got it right
but i’m just playing games, so thank you gerald lawson
cuz i swear video games made being a child awesome
and the women, i love you so much if you can’t tell
ella baker, i need to thank you, for real
for standing ‘hind the scenes, making change just for our people
doing all of these things so we could dream and be equal
and for the hundreds of others that will keep going unnoticed
you made this all possible, so i want you to know this
i appreciate your drive, your dedication and focus
thank you for that sacrifice, its you for whom i wrote this, peace
(chorus)
imagine all that we could be
if our past wasn’t a mystery
crazy how it tends to seem
like we were nothing in our history
imagine what be different if we were taught
what we are rather than what we’re not
imagine if this was deeper than rap
i don’t know if you would man, but i’ll imagine that
yeah i’ll imagine that
yeah, i’ll imagine that
imagine if this was deeper than rap
i don’t know if you would man
but i’ll imagine that
