knox hill & mcgwire - imagine lyrics

[intro]
(samad, cook it up, yeah)

[verse 1: knox hill]
the other day, i woke up in a daydream
nameless faces in these places we had been
what an oasis from the hatred of my sins
but then it faded, it erased, and there it went
see, my imagination’s saved me many times
mom and dad were yellin’, it was h+ll
with broken plates and slammin’ doors
and i just colored deep inside my mind, i was never one to stay inside the lines
see outside, there was trauma, but you hustle hard
it was play ball or rap to get above it all
i wore twelve ’cause i felt i had to snub the yards
put my heart into my pen back when i got no love from y’all
knew i had talent on these docs, i never had the patience
through the battles and the opps, i knew i had to make it
there were cameras, there were cops
but i never gave ’em anything to put me in a cell or set up payments
every word i write, i swear i’m tighter with the noose
i’m barely hangin’ on the lines, but i feel higher in the booth
i’m crossin’ out these words, i may expire if i lose
i swear, i’m still that little kid who’s playin’ hangman in my room
i might draw pain, and talk about this family curse
i might call names, but still, it’s always family first
’til the day, i’m in the he+rs+, it’s her, her, hers
all for my wife and daughters’ purse
[chorus: mcgwire]
i’m not the man i was before
[?], i close the door
i don’t know what i’ve got in store
i just can’t imagine
i’m paintin’ castles in my mind
not by choice, it’s by design
it happens when i cross the line
i just can’t imagine

[verse 2: knox hill]
i don’t know why it’s me with the comparisons
but rap ain’t humble, they only listen when you arrogant (true)
my appearance ain’t for peers, jury’s out on how i’m sharin’ it
they judge me for my sentence, but i wrote from my experience
i am not dax, i’m not tom, i love ’em, but i’m not ren, i’m not him, i’m not them
i am from the bottom of sodom, my pen’s a problem
say anyone’s got better bars, and f+ck it, i’m a robber
but i ain’t a hitter, no batman, this is gotham
my city ain’t show me love, so i guess that’s why i’m heartless
doubtin’ in the darkness, i’m surrounded by these common
who would drown you for the commas, but all that drama turned me to a monster
so f+ck your feedback, i grab the mic, it’s demon time
i recap my sacrifice, and leak these rhymes on these claps
i magnify the pain inside a heat wax
so mad in life, the passion strikes on each track, i bleed rap
[chorus: mcgwire]
i’m not the man i was before
[?], i close the door
i don’t know what i’ve got in store
i just can’t imagine
i’m paintin’ castles in my mind
not by choice, it’s by design
it happens when i cross the line
i just can’t imagine

[outro: knox hill]
rain, rain
another day as the rain falls down
all this anger in the shadows, in the dust
i wander through the valley to the gallows
they hate you while you livin’, i brought my own flowers
sharks in the water, there’s blood in the shallows
but i know there’s a monster layin’ deep within the shadows
i’m sick of all the battles, i am runnin’ out of ammo
i’ma let ’em know
