[00:00.00]Imagine -Kendrick Lamar (德里克·拉马尔) [00:03.130]I sit on the studio couch [00:04.759]Ask myself [00:05.199]What the f**k am I thinking about [00:07.269]Thinking 'bout living [00:07.939]Without the past and the present [00:10.419]A Dr Dre record imagine [00:12.569]I drift of 600seconds [00:14.418]10mintues exact [00:15.718]Letting my mind explore [00:17.87]K Dot had turned Curious George [00:19.157]You know off the hardship is [00:20.517]What I'm curious for [00:21.847]Like what if Pac had never [00:23.687]Looked left to holla at broads [00:25.67]Before he turned right to get them [00:26.357]Shots through the door [00:27.377]They say Suge did it [00:28.246]But he was in emergency clinic [00:30.225]So he'd risk his own life [00:31.645]To get someone else killed [00:32.975]But in the process get injured [00:34.365]It don't make sense [00:35.694]It's like the Da Vinci Code [00:37.204]Trying the solve the crime of these rap souls [00:39.94]What if B I G never did it big [00:40.833]Never went to L A [00:42.73]Would it make a difference [00:43.383]In them bullet-holes [00:44.153]Would it make my flow flow more persistent [00:46.232]Would it raise up the bar of competition [00:48.101]Who knows [00:49.121]Who told Nastradamus baby [00:50.711]Momma was f**king with HOV [00:52.191]Would the battle be less interesting [00:53.940]If it wasn't personal [00:55.529]If Jay wasn't intimate [00:56.709]There'd probably be less people listening [00:58.687]People thinking it's a publicity stunt [01:01.147]What if he partnered [01:02.147]With Jay and still didn't blow [01:04.166]Hip-hop would really be f**ked [01:05.856]Something like Milli Vanilli [01:07.256]Nothing different quite similar [01:09.65]Filling up my mind capacity [01:10.974]Thinking about Martin Luther [01:12.913]On the balcony [01:13.803]What if the shooter [01:15.143]Better yet [01:15.803]What if Malcolm on the side [01:17.293]Killed two birds with one stone [01:18.903]Both would've died [01:19.803]Now let's rewind [01:21.73]Before we go [01:23.392]Can you imagine [01:26.451]Picture years with your mom [01:29.10]Can you imagine [01:31.670]Hang her picture in the sky [01:34.420]Can you imagine [01:37.549]Call emergency I've been dreamin'all my life [01:41.539]All life [01:42.809]Imagine if Tookie was a Blood Look [01:45.239]No disrespect [01:46.278]But would there be more Bloods [01:47.417]Than Crips sets [01:48.527]Dominating the population of [01:50.276]L A Orange County the Valley [01:52.166]And back up to the bay [01:53.446]Matter fact imagine [01:54.205]If we didn't really start this gangster sh*t [01:56.854]Y'all wouldn't have nothin'to spit [01:58.444]No drive bys [01:59.554]No flags stickin'out pockets [02:01.273]No NWA dudes [02:03.313]Just rappin like Cre Cru [02:04.702]Imagine if Mike Concepcion [02:06.32]Walked on his own two [02:07.402]Feet no paralyzed [02:08.882]Would he be alive [02:09.992]Or would he been lost his life to the streets [02:12.272]No match no cars in that driveway [02:14.932]What if Freeway Rick never was a kingpin [02:17.831]On this L A strip [02:19.211]Would these rap niggas use his name [02:20.921]Nah what if rap niggas never had rap [02:23.721]Would they try to fall back on this drug game [02:26.600]These rappers a**backwards [02:27.790]Now these rappers getting caught [02:29.530]With the coc*ine
