Salt-N-Pepa - Imagine lyrics
Chorus:
Imagine if we could live
Imagine thatimagine that
In this world without hate and prejudice
Stop the violencebreak the silence
Judging each other is so crazy
Crazyyowhy you hate me
Sometimes I think so hardoh my god
Was it closin' in on me
I can't breatheI can't breathe
I can't breatheI can't breatheoh
Sandra "pepa" denton:
(now tell me) do you feel the rain (uh-huh) too much pain
Bloodstains in the brainonly the strong maintain
Mad facesdifferent races
Poisoning the minds of the kids with hatredwasted (yeah)
From mom and dadit's sad (crazy sad)
You mad about whathuh
Got your guard dropped
Love tryin' to get through (oh yeah)
Ignorance got you (that's right)
Can't nobody stop you (true)
YeahI watched you
Calling everybody namesso how you figure (how you figure)
I don't knowyou call me nigger (nigger)
Behind my backbut I'm bigger than that
A state of mindone time (one time)
When I shine babyyou shine (you shine)
Chorus
Cheryl "salt" james:
So maybe what's the solution (tell me)
The race pollution (word)
Was the constitution written for us (uh-uh)
I don't trustdid they mean alldid they mean just us
No justiceback of the busbend overhomie (true)
If you know ityou better show it (rock the vote)
Rock the boatkeep hopeuh
Martin luther king (king)
Had the schemehad the dream (dream)
Killing must ceasewe need peace
More unity in the community
That means more you and me together
Don't let thehate block youlock you in the past
Believe you can flykeep your head high (to the sky)

Sheryl crow:
Free your mindlet it be
You know we got rid of this hate in me (lovelove)
I've got so much love to give
Leave me alonelive and let live
Let love growlet it flow
It's good for the heart and it's good for the soul
Cheryl "salt" james:
Follow god's will (say what)
Can you feel that (uh-huh)
That's keepin' it realcome on y'allkill that
Exterior don't make you superior
Skin tones is the fury of religious war zones
In your own neighborhoodit ain't all good
Guns don't make you badyou've been had
You've been dissedgot it twistedsenses shifted
Brainwashed by an image and you was gifted
Beautiful and black when you comin' back
Sellin' crack in the landstand up and be a man
Better get an educationdivided nation
In the name of godsex discrimnations
I can't breathe
Chorus
