Imagine

Imagine living up to all the expectations and more
Then imagine letting your mom believe her dreams are yours
Imagine feeling sick to your stomach, telling yourself you know for sure
But inside you're torn apart, knowing your heart was made for more
T-t-this is war
Overseas, Australia opened doors
Some say I ran away, but I would say I ran towards

'Cause if there's nothing left behind you, can you really run away?
It's crazy how some distance brings you closer than you've ever been before
To yourself (yeah), you owe it yourself (yeah)
To live a life for you and find out who you can become
And everybody got something to say, but when it's all said and done
Some-, somehow the same mouths can't seem to find they tongues

If I never jumped, I may have never fell
If I never loved, it wouldn't hurt like hell
But just imagine if I didn't (whoo)
Just imagine if I didn't (whoo)
If I gave it all up and put my dreams up for sale
This nine-to-five would be my future for as far as I could tell
If I didn't (whoo)
Just imagine if I didn't (whoo)

Imagine Thailand beaches, under the moon, on the shore
A thousand miles away from home, you realize they dreams ain't yours
Imagine killing your parent's dreams, they killin' themselves to pay for yours
And so with every penny you spend, you questioning if it's all worth it
But I'm leaving on a jet plane, one-way ticket and no plans
A couple of shows in Germany, and a train to Copenhagen
And then now I'm sipping a coffee, sitting in front of my hero, oh man (oh man)
Telling him I left it all behind for this, so what's the plan?
And he says, "Go home"

If I never jumped, I may have never fell
If I never loved, it wouldn't hurt like hell
But just imagine if I didn't (whoo)
Just imagine if I didn't (whoo)
If I gave it all up and put my dreams up for sale
This nine-to-five would be my future for as far as I could tell
If I didn't (whoo)
Just imagine if I didn't (whoo)

Y-y-yeah, it'll be worth it, yeah, I'm sure
Ten years gone, and what do I have to tell and show?
One tour, a couple of songs, and yeah, the streams are low
Hard to explain, why I sold less than soul-less rappers that have blown
Oh, but I'm coming, yeah, I'm running, and I'm bustin' down the door
Just to make sure that you see me and this fire in my soul
And this patience wasn't patience, I just been waiting for so long, for so long

And I feel like I've seen it all, from the honesty to jealousy
The love, the hate, the wait, the loss, the law now this one's funny
Imagine gettin' sued by a dude with no clue about you or the industry
It's funny how we blink and the future becomes history

I-I-If I never jumped, I may have never fell
If I never loved, it wouldn't hurt like hell
But just imagine if I didn't (whoo)
Just imagine if I didn't (whoo)
If I gave it all up and put my dreams up for sale (if I didn't)
This nine-to-five would be my future for as far as I could tell (if I didn't)
If I didn't (whoo) (just imagine if I didn't)
Just imagine if I didn't (whoo)

If I never jumped, I may have never fell (whoo)
If I never loved, it wouldn't hurt like hell
But just imagine if I didn't (just imagine if I-)
Just imagine if I didn't (just imagine if I-)
If I gave it all up and put my dreams up for sale (ay) (if I didn't)
This nine-to-five would be my future for as far as I could tell
If I didn't (just imagine if I-, just imagine if I-)
Just imagine if I didn't (just imagine if I-, just imagine if I-)
