And if the witness is dead there's no trial
If you didn't know then hoe well ya know now
And I don't mean basketball when I say I don't know yao
Money money money money boost my mor-al
Play with my money money money o.k. co-ral
I like a bitch with a apple bottom like vokal
The top is at my fingertips like I ain't got no nails
I got blood brothers bitch I ain't got pals
I make a girl get low like I ain't got no l's
I'm a paper chasin' dog check my toenails
And I never miss a game, no Shaq O'neal
More like Brett Favre just like brett favre
I been shot 2 times just wipe that off
But I thank you for putting me right back lord
And to you father I would give my life back for it
That knife that sword that gun that war
Make ya so called soldiers just run like gore
Yeah frank that is from San Francis and I got more banana clips then chimpanzees

And I'm about to bubble and she catch that fizz
And I'm straight from clayborne nigga just ask liz

From the city where the judge throw the book at kids
Burna in school in my book bag hid, talk stupid at lunch and we havin' ya ribs
If you are not home then we havin' ya kids
And if you can't come up with half we'll send you half of ya kid
Back to the board, an extravagant crib,

Black diamonds and pearls, believe that
I may bling bling and my chest look like a mural

My fetish is the girls, but the women not the girls
Act your age not your shoe size maybe we can do the twril
I'll be the prince of a pearl tongue earring in her pearl tongue
If she come let her girl come, give her a pill give her girl one
Party time excellent yeah wayne's world, Campbell's soup on the wrist just call me earl
Lil ma don't shoot 'em ya heard, I get high my words slur, I start callin' 'em mirl
Hey mirl light that fur and I know this old but I'm really hot in here
I went with the phantom, my niggas copin' spurs
My hands in the pot, I'd rather eat and stir

I bring all my guns, shoot mothers, fathers, babies damn
Black hand guns to serve we could see
But we are so blind to the signs they tryin to lose the world




And we will walk right up with our guns yup, hand and hand yeah
We'll march right after the drum, but I don't need no band nigga drought 3

Overall Meaning

In Lil Wayne and Juelz Santana's song "Imagine" from Drought 3, Lil Wayne starts by referring to his luxurious lifestyle, implying that his chains indicate his wealth and success. However, he quickly shifts the tone to describe a dangerous scenario of waking up to gunshots and murder, warning his enemies that they will face repercussions for crossing him. He also plays on words, stating that he doesn't know Yao Ming (the basketball player) but has plenty of money to boost his morale. Lil Wayne then raps about his preferences in women, bragging about his fame and fortune before focusing back on his tumultuous past and potentially violent future.


One of the most striking aspects of "Imagine" is the stark contrast between Lil Wayne's boasts about material possessions and his references to violence and crime. He acknowledges the danger that comes with his lifestyle, but he's not shy about flaunting his success either. This dichotomy represents the reality of the trap lifestyle that Lil Wayne and many others have experienced, where glamour and danger coexist. Another interpretation of the song could be that Lil Wayne is using his lyrics to create an alternate reality, a hypothetical world where anything is possible - hence the title "Imagine."
