Imagine (Live At Austin, Texas - 20/3/2004)

Imagine if I showed you 1 day, I was leavin' da hood

Wud you call me a sell out, wud you say it's all good?

Wud you follow if you cud? Or wud you just tell me, get da hell out?And imagine if I showed you dat I'd found another way

Of gettin' dough wiv out doin' dirt

Let's blurt, wud you love me 4 givin' you sum hope?

Or resent me 'coz your pride got hurt?Imagine if we never grew up on a council estate

An' was country manor raised, wiv a spoon in our mouth

Wud we still be makin' fuss about da East an da South?

Wud we shiver at da robbery's, murder an' da crack?An thank God dat we didn't have 2 live like dat

Just an image on da TV as were comfortably sat

Sippin' wine room lit by da summer sunshine

Not a worry in da world as we cash will E chat?Oblivious 2 how we wud be livin' on da flip side

No experience, not a clue about a ruff ride

No harassment, no boy dem on our back side

Dat'd b amazin' stillBut I no you wonder, wud it make you any less real?

Wat's da current spot your standin' in, offerin'

If you had a better offer, wud you go 4 da kill?

Snap out of your day dream, how do you feel?Does it all seem worthwhile 4 ya?

Try an put it in perspective

Retrospective of your profile an' your honor

Do you wanna hang about or are you a goner?Come along fink fast, decision time

You've been livin' in da grime, don't you wanna climb?

Da ladder of life, da wall of enlightenment

Or are you lookin' 4 da hype an excitement'Coz dere's so much drama in da LDN,

It's kinda hard tryin' 2 find legal money 2 spend

Generation, genocide look possible

Da rate at which we drew up 4 da skenAn pretend, dat we don't no who da real enemy is

Who shud we hold responsible, instead we offend

A couple square meters of pavement in da endz

Wat wud we achieve, my friends?
