(feat. Dr. Dre & D'Angelo)

[Snoop Dogg:]

Yo Doc what up my ^!$$%
Snoop Dogg, this what it is man
This record is so mother$#&@in' gangsta man

And i think it's time for me and you to just
Tone it down a bit
Come on


[Verse 1: Dr.Dre]
Imagine it never happened

Imagine no rappin'
Imagine ^!$$%s trapped
Imagine it havin' action

Imagine how these ^!$$%s could be actin'
If you never got this %#@! crackin
Imagine life so hard

You can't imagine it's like livin' in city of god
You feel me
Imagine life on the yard

I'm tryin' to get that dollar on some %#@!ty $$# job
Imagine Biggie with his son
Imagine Pac gettin' call pop 'bout one

Imagine a mother struggling
Dealing with a system that don't give a $#&@ about who shot her son
Imagine life where you can't win

When you get out of the ghetto and go right to the pen
When you get out to the pen you go right to the jenz
So if you get back to the streets you go right back in

Imagine Russell still struggling
No Def Jam just antoher ^!$$% hustlin'
And no rocks on them fellaz

Just rocks on them fellaz
Just try and keep it bubblin'
Imagine ^!$$%s dressed up

From the east to the west coast, everybody $#&@ed up
I can't imagine no less
But it don't take imagination

To know ^!$$%s been blessed with
HIP-HOP


[Chorus:]
Before we go
Can you imagine?

Picture years, with your mom
Can you imagine?
Hang her picture in the sky

Can you imagine?
Call emergency I've been dreamin' all my life.


[Verse 2: Snoop Dogg]
Could you imagine bein' lit up by some hot shells?
Imagine being tossed around and put in jail

Imagine life when you can't get from under
Imagine ^!$$%s at ya when you done fo'
Remember when they asks ya why ya run for and treat ya like a (*##$

When they kick you in your dick and take your %#@!
We actin' like they hate to see you gun hoe
But just imagine if the rappin' got the gun no but you already know.

Imagine ^!$$%z in the LBC felt just like Snoop Dogg & D-R-E,
And felt just like the ^!$$%z in the 2-1-3.
Then imagine us was comin' when you $#&@in' with me.

Imagine you was up on top of this %#@!
Imagine if the (*##$es could stay off this dick
I mean imagine we said $#&@ this %#@!

Imagine if my ^!$$%z got together and tow up this (*##$, yeah
You can't imagine growin' up in the jail done
Happy just to be alive' watching all your people run

Would you imagine growin' up to sell your 50 million records world wide or $#&@in' off somebodies son
Imagine if these ^!$$%z never saw a colour
Would it be peaceful in them streets where ^!$$%z kill each other

All the drunk fool get us pissed on balls
He $#&@in' off my ^!$$%z, they gone murder us all
Imagine that


[Chorus:]
Before we go
Can you imagine?
Picture years, with your mom

Can you imagine?
Hang her picture in the sky
Can you imagine?
Call emergency I've been dreamin' all my life.
