IMANI:
If I Had My Way

PETE:
if I had my way I'd stay in a mansion in Soho / where I wouldn't be hassled by these asshole po-pos / looking at me mean when I dress too clean / pushing up on the scene mean-mugging my team / I'd have a super-model girl and an HDTV / and I'd stop hanging out with grimy kids writing graffiti / you would see me in the finest of cars / flyest of bars / only hanging out with the shiniest stars / I'd be quick to turn my back on my homies that are Puerto Rican and black / and act like I don't know them / show them no love when I went into clubs with the red velvet rope thinking, "oh my god my life's so dope!

and it would be all about me / if I had my way...

if I had my way I'd pray for all the poor children just as long as they don't up and try to move into my building / I've got feelings for them cute little brats / living in shacks / I'd buy 'em fitted caps and teach them to rap / matter of fact / as a matter of pride / I'd save the whole world 'cause girls dig sensitive guys / imagine how many smiles I'd make and how much trim I'd run through / just for curing avian flu? / I'd kick it with no lower than world leaders / me and Kim Jung Il splitting forties in wife beaters / with a crew tattoo and our hats to the back and mad beef with every single country on the map

and it would be all about me / if I had my way...

IMANI:
if I had my way / I'd have an enema every single day / 'cause I don't wanna be full of bull / like everybody talking with their mouth full / and if I had my way I'd show you dolphins flying through the sky / a little sugar for your horny eyes / a feast for the soul / but chew it with your eyes closed

PETE:
if I had my way I'd play myself in a movie loosely based on my real life / except I'd skip the fact that I'm half-white / and I grew up in the 'burb's / and the only fiends I ever served were when I worked at Starbuck's wearing an apron like a nerd / I'd often be observed wearing diamonds and furs / claiming to be a thug but looking absurd / way too much lotion / eyebrows plucked / pistol in my waistline looking corny as fuck! / a complete self-mockery with teenagers jockeying me / stalking me through the mall / hawking watching it all / wanting to ball like a big-boss player like "what?" / if I had my way my life would probably suck

'cause it would be all about me / if I had my way...

IMANI:
if I had my way / I'd have an enema every single day / 'cause I don't wanna be full of bull / like everybody talking with their mouth full / and if I had my way I'd show you dolphins flying through the sky / a little sugar for your horny eyes / a feast for the soul / but chew it with your eyes closed
