Imagine (Feat. Kudzai) Lyrics

Introduction
Imagine all the people
People, people
People, people
Imagine all the people
(Chevy)
Yeah you don't know how easy you got it, how easy your life is
That's our problems made up, open your eyes and wake up
Can you imagine life without, having a family or a house?
Can you imagine, imagine, imagine, imagine
Verse 1
Imagine if the cancer took your mother and you had to watch her pass away
Imagine if you didn't have a father there on fathers day
Imagine living in a box, the streets is where you start to stay
You didn't have no family, got no money so you'd starve for days
Imagine that your little sister hates herself she starts to fade

Afraid of being sober so she's going through the party phase
Feeling like the fucking drugs she's taking is her last escape
She's sick of all the bullying, she starts to use a sharper blade
Imagine fleeing from a country full of war and all the armor takes
Your smuggled on a raft for days, no airport departure gates
Imagine every time that you embark a plane, because of your religion people start to text there loved ones and they start to pray
Imagine coming from a fucking home where you just suffocate
Your homophobic father won't accept the fact his son is gay
Imagine your depression just so dark and grey, only showing half your face like you are at a masquerade
Chorus
Walk in these shoes, for a day or two
I bet you can't imagine it, can you
You've never been through what they've been through
I bet you can't imagine, the things they face
on a day-to-day
I bet you can't imagine it, can you (I bet you can't imagine)
Verse 2
Imagine all the billionaires gave a million piece
An all the kids in poverty, just may have dinner to eat
they're getting hospitals and doctors to help the sick and diseased
They'd get an education, water that they're drinking was clean
Imagine if the politicians weren't all riddled with greed, and gave a fuck about the elderly and kids on the street
And we could give you any number of a single release, but couldn't give you any number of the victims deceased
Imagine if equality existed, not a myth in our dreams
My two uncles could get married and be living so free
Imagine corporations knew that we had limited trees, because the chop away the forest so that ditches can breathe?
Imagine Islam was recognized as a religion of peace, and wasn't judged by all that prop-gander, shit that we read
Imagine if we didn't judge because of different beliefs, 'cus their all people, we're all people there's no difference to me (nah)
Chorus
Walk in these shoes, for a day or two
I bet you can't imagine it, can you
You've never been through what they've been through
I bet you can't imagine, the things they face
on a day-to-day
I bet you can't imagine it, can you (I bet you can't imagine)
Verse 3
Look, now open up your eyes and understand your life's a blessing, 'cus the fact that your alive today's what we call it the present
So think about your life and try and show a little gratitude
You have a fall back, while others begging for a parachute
Look, and I don't even see my father now, but what it taught me was; to search for light up in the darkest clouds
And now I grow from the negatives that taught me how to be fulfilling, even when there's emptiness
Some children have to sit there on the side-line, tryna understand why their mummy said "bye bye"
And their father watched the lover of his life die, but it's so much harder in a house with no Wi-Fi
And that's a gratitude our whole generation lacks;appreciate what you have, before it becomes what you had
Everything can change, depends on how you see the picture
Walk a mile in their shoes, and your guaranteed a blister (I'm out)
Chorus
Walk in these shoes, for a day or two
I bet you can't imagine it, can you
You've never been through what they've been through
I bet you can't imagine, the things they face
on a day-to-day
I bet you can't imagine it, can you (I bet you can't imagine)
