Chorus:



Imagine if we could live

Imagine that, imagine that

In this world without hate and prejudice

Stop the violence, break the silence

Judging each other is so crazy

Crazy, yo, why you hate me

Sometimes I think so hard, oh my God

Was it closin' in on me

I can't breathe, I can't breathe

I can't breathe, I can't breathe, oh



Sandra "Pepa" Denton:



(Now tell me) Do you feel the rain (Uh-huh) too much pain

Bloodstains in the brain, only the strong maintain

Mad faces, different races

Poisoning the minds of the kids with hatred, wasted (Yeah)

From mom and dad, it's sad (Crazy sad)

You mad about what, huh

Got your guard dropped

Love tryin' to get through (Oh yeah)

Ignorance got you (That's right)

Can't nobody stop you (True)

Yeah, I watched you

Calling everybody names, so how you figure (How you figure)

I don't know, you call me nigger (Nigger)

Behind my back, but I'm bigger than that

A state of mind, one time (One time)

When I shine baby, you 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 trust, did they mean all, did they mean just us

No justice, back of the bus, bend over, homie (True)

If you know it, you better show it (Rock the vote)

Rock the boat, keep hope, uh

Martin Luther King (King)

Had the scheme, had the dream (Dream)

Killing must cease, we need peace

More unity in the community

That means more you and me together

Don't let the, hate block you, lock you in the past

Believe you can fly, keep your head high (To the sky)



Chorus



Sheryl Crow:



Free your mind, let it be

You know we got rid of this hate in me (Love, love)

I've got so much love to give

Leave me alone, live and let live

Let love grow, let 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 real, come on y'all, kill that

Exterior don't make you superior

Skin tones is the fury of religious war zones

In your own neighborhood, it ain't all good

Guns don't make you bad, you've been had

You've been dissed, got it twisted, senses shifted

Brainwashed by an image and you was gifted

Beautiful and black when you comin' back

Sellin' crack in the land, stand up and be a man

Better get an education, divided nation

In the name of God, sex discrimnations

I can't breathe



Chorus
