Imagine Lyrics - Showtime - Dizzee Rascal

imagine if I showed u 1 day I was leavin da hood, 

wud u call me a sell out, wud u say its all good? 

wud u folow if u cud? 

or wud u jus tell me get da hell out? 

and imagine if I showed u dat id found another way of gettin dough wiv out doin dirt, 

lets blurt, wud u love me 4 givin u sum hope? 

or ressent me coz ur pride got hurt? 

imagine if we never grew up on a council estate, 

an was country manor raised, wiv a spoon in our mouth, 

wud we still b makin fuss about da east an da south? 

wud we shiver at da robberys, murder an da crack? 

an thank god dat we didn hav 2 live like dat, 

jus an image on da tv as were comftarbly sat, 

sippin wine room lit by da summer sunshine, 

not a worry in da world as we cash will e chat? 

oblivious 2 how we wud b livin on da flipside, 

no experience, not a clue about a ruff ride, 

no harrassment, no boy dem on our back side, 

dat'd b amazin still! 

but I no u wonder wud it make u any less real? 

wats da current spot ur standin in, offerin, 

if u had a better offer wud u go 4 da kill? 

snap out of ur day dream, how do u feel? 

does it all seem worthwhile 4 ya? 

try an put it in perspective, 

retrospective of ur profile an ur honour, 

do u wana hang about or are u a goner?

come along fink fast, decision time, 

uve been livin in da grime, don u wana climb? 

da ladder of life, da wall of enlightenment, 

or are u lookin 4 da hype an excitement, 

coz deres so much drama in da LDN, 

its kinda hard tryin 2 find legal money 2 spend, 

generation, genocide look possible, 

da rate at which we drew up 4 da sken, 

an pretend, dat we dont no who da real enemy is, 

who shud we hold responsible, instead we offend, 

a couple square metres of pavement in da endz, 

wat wud we acchieve my friends?
