Lupe Fiasco

Imagine
Imagine, imagine If I coulda, brought it back I wouldn't change a fucking thing If I coulda, brought it back (yeah, yea yea yea yeah) If I coulda, brought it back I wouldn't change a fucking thing If I coulda, brought it back (I'ma do the same thing, I'ma do the same thing) Man, fuck college! We finna do this rap shit My mind's like 5 mics, rhyme tight, fuck it Limelight, shine bright, life shore, love it This feeling with experiences Balls in my hand like the grand prize game, aiming for pocket sixes Throw back, saw that, you know when I say Back in the day, you know exactly where I go at Expanding my vocabulary Rapping every word of the magazine covers down at Walgreens That's a 357 Magnum like Tackleberry Academics took a backseat like Hightower I flowered my power, yeah yeah yeah yeah If I coulda, brought it back I wouldn't change a fucking thing SongtexteIf I coulda, brought it back (yeah, yea yea yea yeah) If I coulda, brought it back I wouldn't change a fucking thing If I coulda, brought it back (I'ma do the same thing, I'ma do the same thing) Yo, we got a contract on the table from Atlantic Records What do you think? Well every rose has its thorn, and if I could be reborn I mean to be the king, even Jesus puts 'em on So, Atlantic ocean motion might make you sell funny Betcha didn't know the advance went straight to bail money That's right, to free Chilly Chill And to do it all again, I would sign another deal Still kinda paranoid from when they leaked my tape Jeopardize being friendly just to keep mine safe When keeping it real goes right, I couldn't keep my faith By third album I was done, you shoulda seen my face Fuck Craig, fuck rap, fuck this, fuck that Fuck a 360 deal, nigga, that shit's wack I was Truth.com with no backup plan Got blackballed, couldn't find a job, tryna backup dance That shit was crazy, thanks to my back-up fans I guess if lawyers can't do it, the hackers can If I coulda, brought it back I wouldn't change a fucking thing If I coulda, brought it back (yeah, yea yea yea yeah) If I coulda, brought it back I wouldn't change a fucking thing If I coulda, brought it back (I'ma do the same thing, I'ma do the same thing) You wouldn't change nothin'? Like nothin'?! Well, that's not totally true Young Lupe, I wish I could be totally you But that's the way it works, came to bring the pain, that's the way it hurts Picking in the scabs from the past just gon' make it worse Can't be 21 every time I spit and make a verse When I did that song with NumbaNine, I was tryna break the curse The good don't make it out of the hood unless the hood make it out you first All you needs just to believe that you can leave Crown B and Es made me believe that I could leave Righteous deeds, planting seeds for good society So you see that I can't be totally new Cause there's a future Lupe out there that wanna be both of me too And nobody really knows what the future really holds All the future sends for our future souls And what I am doing now I couldn't do before What would you do, man, if you could go? If I coulda, brought it back I wouldn't change a fucking thing If I coulda, brought it back (yeah, yea yea yea yeah) If I coulda, brought it back I wouldn't change a fucking thing If I coulda, brought it back (I'ma do the same thing, I'ma do the same thing) Aus Songtexte Mania
