If I ruled the world- Nas ft. Lauryn Hill

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbhQEcI9w5Q

Intro: Nas (Lauryn Hill singing in the background)

Life..... I wonder....
Will it take me under.... I don't know

Verse One: Nas

Imagine smoking weed in the streets without cops harassin
Imagine going to court with no trial
Lifestyle cruising blue behind my waters
No welfare supporters more conscious of the way we raise our daughters
Days are shorter, nights are colder
Feeling like life is over, these snakes strike like a cobra
The world's hot my son got knocked evidently
It's elementary, they want us all gone eventually
Trooping out of state for a plate knowledge
If coke was cooked without the garbage we'd all have the top dollars
Imagine everybody flashin, fashion
Designer clothes, lacing your click up with diamond rolls
Your people holdin dough, no parole
No rubbers, go in raw imagine law with no undercovers
Just some thoughts for the mind
I take a glimpse into time
watch the blimp read "The World Is Mine"

Chorus: Lauryn Hill, Nas

If I ruled the world Imagine that
I'd free all my sons, I love em love em baby
Black diamonds and pearls Could it be, if you could
be mine, we'd both shine
If I ruled the world Still livin for today, in
these last days and times

Verse Two: Nas

It'd be, paradise, life, relaxin black, latino and anglo-saxon
Armani exchange the range
Cash, Lost Tribe of Shabazz, free at last
Brand new whips to crash then we laugh in the iller path
The Villa house is for the crew, how we do
Trees for breakfast, dime sexes and Benz stretches
So many years in depression make me vision
The better livin, type of place to raise kids in
Open they eyes to the lies history's told foul
But I'm as wise as the old owl, plus the Gold Child
Seeing things like I was controlling, click rollin
Trickin six digits on kicks and still holdin
Trips to Paris, I civilized every savage
Gimme one shot I turn trife life to lavish
Political prisonners set free, stress free
No work release purple M3's and jet skis
Feel the wind breeze in West Indies
I make Coretta Scott-King mayor the cities and reverse fiends to Willies
It sounds foul but every girl I meet would go downtown
I'd open every cell in Attica send em to Africa

Chorus: Lauryn Hill, Nas

If I ruled the world Imagine that
I'd free all my sons, I love em love em baby
Black diamonds and pearls Could it be, if you could
be mine, we'd both shine
If I ruled the world Still livin for today, in
these last days and times

And then we'll walk right up to the sun
Hand in hand
We'll walk right up to the sun
We won't land
We'll walk right up to the sun
Hand in hand
We'll walk right up to the sun
We won't land

Verse Three: Nas

You'd love to hear the story how the thugs live in worry
Duck down in car seats, heat's mandatory
Runnin from Jake, gettin chased, hunger for papes
These are the breaks many mistakes go down out of state
Wait, I had to let it marinate we carry weight
Tryin to get laced, flip the ace stack the safe
Millionaire plan to keep the gat with the cocked hammer
Makin moves in Atlanta, back and forth scrambler
Cause you could have all the chips, be poor or rich
Still nobody wants 2 see a nigga havin shit
But if I ruled the world and everything in it, sky's the limit
I push the Q-45 Infinit
It wouldn't be no such thing as jealousies or Beef Felonies
Strictly living longevity to the destiny
I thought I'd never see but reality struck
Better find out before your time's out, what the fuck???

Chorus: Lauryn Hill, Nas

If I ruled the world Imagine that
I'd free all my sons, I love em em baby
Black diamonds and pearls Could it be, if you could
be mine, we'd both shine
If I ruled the world Still livin for today, in
these last days and times

If I ruled the world, if I ruled, if I ruled Imagine that
I'd free all my sons, if I ruled, if I ruled
I love em love em baby
Black diamonds and pearls, black dimaonds Could it be, if you could
black diamonds be mine, we'd both shine
If I ruled the world Still livin for today, in
these last days and times

If I ruled the world, if I ruled
if I ruled, I'd free all my sons
black diamonds, I love em love em baby
Black diamonds and pearls, if I ruled
If I ruled the world

If I ruled the world
I love em love em baby!!


Macbeth likes this song because it talks about the one thing he wanted most in life. That one thing he wanted most was to rule.

Act 5 Scene 5 Lines 25-27


"It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. "

I thought the witches said that I couldn’t be killed by any anybody born of woman. I figured everyone is born of woman so I couldn’t be killed.  Now everybody knows that I killed Duncan and they’re all after me. My wife is dead and now there’s nothing worth living for. I feel like everything I did from killing Duncan to killing Banquo was all for nothing because here I am living without my wife whom I loved dearly.
           

Act 2 Scene 2 Lines 58-60


"Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather The multitudinous seas incarnadine"

So now that Duncan’s dead I feel that sort of guilt and fear that someone’s going to find out what happened. The blood on my hands is so much it can turn the whole sea color into red. It’s too much and I fear that my thoughts might cause me to something wrong and that will get me caught. My wife doesn’t understand what I’m going through here. She says a little water will clear us up of this deed which is not the case for me.

Act 1 Scene 7 Lines 13-16


"as I am his kinsman and his subject, Strong both against the deed; then, as his host, Who should against his murderer shut the door, Not bear the knife myself. "

Damn I don’t know what to do. I want to kill him so I can become king but at the same time he’s done nothing to hurt me and my wife. I’m his kinsman so I should be protecting him and not being the one to kill him. If I were to kill him I don’t want to be in the stage of regret but I also want all the benefits that come with becoming king. Making this decision is hard and my wife is pushing me to kill him and calling me a coward.
