Imagine I can go back in time, when I thought the whole world was mine It was all so simple, it was so fine, Close my eyes and I see it all shine I close my eyes and imagine I could go Back, back in time. Classic like a throwback. You know that golden era of the boom bap, Snap snap, kick, clap, word to cognac, those were the days Stacks under the floor mat. Turned a oz to a key but never wrote that I gave my mom a hard time - lord knows that! I ain't perfect I just pray the he won't hold that against me Cuz I'm trying to keep it straighter Than 6pm. Move at my own pace my own bpm My own network, global connect like BBM, haters gonna see me then Rise like helium, glasses toasted, drink to life, show and boast it Spit flames hot just to keep them roasted. Mr. mailman - you know I keep em posted! Imagine I can go back in time, when I thought the whole world was mine It was all so simple, it was so fine, Close my eyes and I see it all shine I close my eyes and imagine before I was Claption.

Blunt passing, boom bap, music blasting. Redman, it was time for some action. Gotta pay the bills now it's time to bring the cash in Rakim and Kool G, rocking my Coogie. I was trying to settle the score like the Fugees Like a Wyclef, But I'm a cool cat with nine lives, but I only got one left I close my eyes and I still see me shining. Ladder of success and I still see me climbing With mo baines and SHI 360, So instead of hating y'all should get with me Imagine I can go back in time, when I thought the whole world was mine It was all so simple, it was so fine, Close my eyes and I see it all shine
