<Intro: Crystal Torres> |
| [00:01.45] |
Imagine, imagine |
| [00:13.78] |
<Chorus: SIMON SAYZ> |
| [00:14.28] |
If I coulda, brought it back |
| [00:17.32] |
I wouldn't change a ******* thing |
| [00:19.39] |
If I coulda, brought it back (yeah, yea yea yea yeah) |
| [00:25.28] |
If I coulda, brought it back |
| [00:28.60] |
I wouldn't change a ******* thing |
| [00:30.50] |
If I coulda, brought it back |
| [00:34.05] |
(I'ma do the same thing, I'ma do the same thing) |
| [00:40.06] |
<Interlude> |
| [00:40.30] |
Man, **** college! We finna do this rap **** |
| [00:42.67] |
<Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco> |
| [00:42.83] |
My mind's like 5 mics, rhyme tight, **** it |
| [00:45.56] |
Limelight, shine bright, life shore, love it |
| [00:48.22] |
This feeling with experiences |
| [00:50.57] |
Balls in my hand like the grand prize game, aiming for pocket sixes |
| [00:54.22] |
Throw back, saw that |
| [00:55.66] |
You know when I say, back in the day, you know exactly where I go at |
| [00:59.50] |
Expanding my vocabulary |
| [01:00.90] |
Rapping every word of the magazine covers down at Walgreens |
| [01:05.04] |
That's a 357 Magnum like Tackleberry, academics took a backseat like Hightower |
| [01:07.87] |
I flowered my power, yeah yeah yeah yeah |
| [01:11.82] |
<Chorus: SIMON SAYZ> |
| [01:12.04] |
If I coulda, brought it back |
| [01:12.94] |
I wouldn't change a ******* thing |
| [01:15.67] |
If I coulda, brought it back (yeah, yea yea yea yeah) |
| [01:21.71] |
If I coulda, brought it back |
| [01:25.03] |
I wouldn't change a ******* thing |
| [01:26.99] |
If I coulda, brought it back |
| [01:30.64] |
(I'ma do the same thing, I'ma do the same thing) |
| [01:36.44] |
<Interlude> |
| [01:36.65] |
Yo, we got a contract on the table from Atlantic Records |
| [01:38.51] |
What do you think? |
| [01:39.04] |
<Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco> |
| [01:39.26] |
Well every rose has its thorn, and if I could be reborn |
| [01:41.80] |
I mean to be the king, even Jesus puts 'em on |
| [01:44.42] |
So, Atlantic ocean motion might make you sell funny |
| [01:47.56] |
Betcha didn't know the advance went straight to bail money |
| [01:50.80] |
That's right, to free Chilly Chill |
| [01:53.02] |
And to do it all again, I would sign another deal |
| [01:55.78] |
Still kinda paranoid from when they leaked my tape |
| [01:58.46] |
Jeopardize being friendly just to keep mine safe |
| [02:01.26] |
When keeping it real goes right, I couldn't keep my faith |
| [02:04.07] |
By third album I was done, you shoulda seen my face |
| [02:06.78] |
**** Craig, **** rap, **** this, **** that |
| [02:09.77] |
**** a 360 deal, *****, that ****'s wack |
| [02:12.71] |
I was Truth.com with no backup plan |
| [02:15.28] |
Got blackballed, couldn't find a job, tryna backup dance |
| [02:18.15] |
That **** was crazy, thanks to my back-up fans |
| [02:21.02] |
I guess if lawyers can't do it, the hackers can |
| [02:23.78] |
<Chorus: SIMON SAYZ & Crystal Torres> |
| [02:23.94] |
If I coulda, brought it back |
| [02:27.15] |
I wouldn't change a ******* thing |
| [02:29.28] |
If I coulda, brought it back (yeah, yea yea yea yeah) |
| [02:32.70] |
If I coulda, brought it back |
| [02:38.35] |
I wouldn't change a ******* thing |
| [02:40.48] |
If I coulda, brought it back |
| [02:44.20] |
(I'ma do the same thing, I'ma do the same thing) |
| [02:49.02] |
<Interlude> |
| [02:49.22] |
You wouldn't change nothin'? Like nothin'?! |
| [02:52.03] |
<Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco> |
| [02:52.21] |
Well, that's not totally true |
| [02:54.99] |
Young Lupe, I wish I could be totally you |
| [02:57.65] |
But that's the way it works, came to bring the pain, that's the way it hurts |
| [03:01.15] |
Picking in the scabs from the past just gon' make it worse |
| [03:03.94] |
Can't be 21 every time I spit and make a verse |
| [03:06.52] |
When I did that song with NumbaNine, I was tryna break the curse |
| [03:09.47] |
The good don't make it out of the hood unless the hood make it out you first |
| [03:12.20] |
All you needs just to believe that you can leave |
| [03:14.88] |
Crown B and Es made me believe that I could leave |
| [03:17.68] |
Righteous deeds, planting seeds for good society |
| [03:20.37] |
So you see that I can't be totally new |
| [03:23.09] |
Cause there's a future Lupe out there that wanna be both of me too |
| [03:25.83] |
And nobody really knows what the future really holds |
| [03:29.02] |
All the future sends for our future souls |
| [03:31.92] |
And what I am doing now I couldn't do before |
| [03:34.73] |
What would you do, man, if you could go? |
| [03:37.14] |
<Chorus: SIMON SAYZ & Crystal Torres> |
| [03:37.32] |
If I coulda, brought it back |
| [03:40.44] |
I wouldn't change a ******* thing |
| [03:42.64] |
If I coulda, brought it back (yeah, yea yea yea yeah) |
| [03:48.46] |
If I coulda, brought it back |
| [03:51.75] |
I wouldn't change a ******* thing |
| [03:53.90] |
If I coulda, brought it back |
| [03:57.35] |
(I'ma do the same thing, I'ma do the same thing) |
| [04:02.99] |
