The meaning of this song is pretty straightforward. Lupe begins by dreaming of a world very different from today. Basically all the examples he states are opposites of today. Lupe ends the song with the meaning of the whole song...

"Uh, and I know it's just a fantasy I cordially invite you to ask why can't it be Now we can do nothing bout the past But we can do something about the future that we have We can make fast or we can make it last"

Basically, if we want the world to be a better place, we have to act upon it rather than dwell on the past.
