Imagine

Imagine if I showed you one day I was leaving the hood,
Would you call me a sell out, would you say it's all good?
Would you follow if you could?
Or would you just tell me get the hell out?
And imagine if I showed you that I'd found another way of getting dough without doing dirt,
Let's blurt, would you love me for giving you some hope?
Or resent me cos your pride got hurt?
Imagine if we never grew up on a council estate,
And was country manor raised, with a spoon in our mouth,
Would we still be making fuss about the east and the south?
Would we shiver at the robberies, murder and the crack?
And thank god that we didn't have to live like that,
Just and image on the TV as we're comfortably sat,
Sipping wine room lit by the summer sunshine,
Not a worry in the world as we cash will e chat?
Oblivious to how we would be living on the flipside,
No experience, not a clue about a rough ride,
No harassment, no boy them on our backside,
That'd be amazing still!
But I know you wonder would it make you any less real?
What's the current spot you're standing in, offering,
If you had a better offer would you go for the kill?
Snap out of your daydream, how do you feel?
Does it all seem worthwhile for you?
Try and put it in perspective,
Retrospective of your profile and your honour,
Do you wanna hang about or are you a goner?
Come along think fast, decision time,
You've been living in the grime, don't you wanna climb the ladder of life, the wall of enlightenment?
Or are you looking for the hype and excitement,
Cos there's so much drama in the LDN,
It's kinda hard trying to find legal money to spend,
Generation, genocide look possible,
The rate at which we drew up for da sken,
And pretend, that we don't know who the real enemy is,
Who should we hold responsible, instead we offend,
A couple square metres of pavement in the ends,
What would we achieve my friends?
