    [Intro: Nas]
    Life, I wonder
    Will it take me under?
    I don't know
    [Verse 1: Nas]
    Imagine smoking weed in the street without cops harassing
    Imagine going to court with no trial
    Lifestyle, cruising blue Bahama waters, no welfare supporters
    More conscious of the way we raise our daughters
    Days are shorter, nights are colder
    Feeling like life is over, these snakes strike like a cobra
    The world's hot, my son got knocked, evidently
    It's elementary, they want us all gone eventually
    Trooping out of state for a plate of knowledge
    If coke was cooked without the garbage
    We'd all have the top dollars
    Imagine everybody flashing fashion, designer clothes
    Lacing your clique up with diamond Roles
    Your people holding dough, no parole, no rubbers
    Go in raw, imagine law with no undercovers
    Just some thoughts for the mind
    I take a glimpse into time
    Watch the blimp read "The World Is Mine"
    [Chorus: Lauryn Hill + (Nas)]
    If I ruled the world (Imagine that)
    I'd free all my sons, I love 'em, love 'em, baby
    Black diamonds and pearls
    (Could it be, if you could be mine, we'd both shine?)
    If I ruled the world
    (Still living for today, in these last days and times)
    [Verse 2: Nas]
    The way to be: Paradise life, relaxin'
    Black, Latino and Anglo-Saxon
    Armani Exchange, the Range
    Cash, Lost Tribe of Shabazz, free at last
    Brand new whips to crash, then we laugh in a iller path
    The Villa house is for the crew, how we do
    Trees for breakfast, dime sexes and Benz stretches
    So many years of depression make me vision
    The better living, type of place to raise kids in
    Open they eyes to the lies, history's told foul
    But I'm as wise as the old owl, plus the Gold Child
    Seeing things like I was controlling, clique rolling
    Tricking six digits on kicks and still holding
    Trips to Paris, I'd civilize every savage
    Give me one shot, I turn trife life to lavish
    Political prisoners set free, stress free
    No work release, purple M3's and jet skis
    Feel the wind breeze in West Indies
    I'd let Coretta Scott-King mayor the cities
    And reverse fiends to Willies
    It sound foul, but every girl I meet'd go down-town
    I'd open every cell in Attica, send 'em to Africa
    [Chorus: Lauryn Hill + (Nas)]
    If I ruled the world (Imagine that)
    I'd free all my sons, I love 'em, love 'em, baby
    Black diamonds and pearls
    (Could it be, if you could be mine, we'd both shine?)
    If I ruled the world
    (Still living for today, in these last days and times)
    [Bridge: Lauryn Hill]
    And then we'll walk right up to the sun
    Hand in hand
    We'll walk right up to the sun
    We won't land
    We'll walk right up to the sun
    Hand in hand
    We'll walk right up to the sun
    We won't land
    [Verse 3: Nas]
    You love to hear the story how the thugs live in worry
    Ducked down in car seats, heat's mandatory
    Running from Jake, getting chased, hunger for papes
    These are the breaks, many mistakes go down outta state
    Wait, I had to let it marinate, we carry weight
    Trying to get laced, flip the ace, stack the safe
    Millionaire plan to keep the gat with the cocked hammer
    Making moves in Atlanta, back-and-forth scrambler
    ‘Cause you could have all the chips, be poor or rich
    Still, nobody want a nigga having shit
    If I ruled the world and everything in it, sky's the limit
    I push a Q-45 Infinit(i)
    It wouldn't be no such thing as jealousies or B Felony
    Strictly living longevity to the destiny
    I thought I'd never see, but reality struck
    Better find out before your time's out, what the fuck?
    [Chorus: Lauryn Hill + (Nas)]
    If I ruled the world (Imagine that)
    I'd free all my sons,I love 'em, love 'em, baby
    Black diamonds and pearls
    (Could it be, if you could be mine, we'd both shine?)
    If I ruled the world
    (Still living for today, in these last days and times)
    If I ruled the world, if I ruled, if I ruled (Imagine that)
    I'd free all my sons, if I ruled, if I ruled
    I love 'em, love 'em baby
    Black diamonds and pearls, black diamonds, black diamonds
    (Could it be, if you could be mine, we'd both shine)
    If I ruled the world
    (Still living for today, in these last days and times)
    [Outro: Lauryn Hill]
    If I ruled the world, if I ruled
    If I ruled, I'd free all my sons
    Black diamonds, I love 'em love 'em baby
    Black diamonds and pearls, if I ruled
    If I ruled the world
    If I ruled the world
    I love 'em, love 'em baby!
