Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

in the club in Champaign they saying Garbe you hot
they like me they can't wait for my album to drop
i won't stop, RaCheer Records don't release no flops
like pearl necklace, girl i'm coming up top
and the crowd goes silent when S hits the room
i look good motherfucker i'm hot like June
kaboom, nothing to lose, hit the saloon
been drinking hardcore at the bar since half past noon
see this is my life, to live till i'm dead
my dream's to make it to 25 with some hair on my head
hate looking in the mirror after i get dressed
fuckin almost washboard abs ruined by washboard chest
i'm deep there's always mail in my mailbox
i rep third grade so all my jokes is knock knocks
got villains scared like an alligator that tick tocks
tip top shape, like Mike Tyson on the punch out box
hit that's what this is, i never kid
takin off my careers never gonna skid
was fatboy as a kid, got Underoos under the lid
fuck my ego, this one is for my id

cuz in my imagination
cuz in my dreams
i'm a lot of people
i'm a lot of things
when i'm your arms
when i'm up on floor
i don't need to imagine no more

i'm single with 1 more year of college I'm out to get laid
but part of me's hoping my heart'll get in the way
and she's 5 foot 3 hair brown eyes green
with the cutest fucking ass that a boys ever seen
and i'm thinking as I'm winking that there's got to be catch
but I'm caught I want a deposit i think i wanna invest
in her thighs, inside, i wanna look into her her eyes
and when its all done i wanna hold her through the night
and my defenses were built tough like i was a tonka
but she's blowing through like a tsunami and I'm Sri Lanka
but come naw, Colin Powell, i need aid or i'll drown
cuz she's sweeping me away, i may never be found
cuz every guy that walks past, i wanna kick his ass
relax, $ucksex, sit back, don't overreact
and i noticed i stopped checking when some trim rolls past
just tip my hat, someone's got my heart, imagine that

i like fake boobs now cuz i'm in love with my girl
she took be by surprise and now i'm takin on the world
and i won't stop till i'm crowned the first king of the moon
insane like Fudge, mad props out to Judy Blume
assume and assumpt, your an ass and a clown
the truth ain't hard to find you don't need no Encyclopedia Brown
insane as it sounds, like houses built upside down,
headed to the Grammy's to drop trow for the crowd
and as they out loud fucking snicker and giggle
i won't care a bit, not even a little
cuz my egos not brittle,




go ahead and belittle, DJ hit the fiddle
and lets all Piggle wiggle

Overall Meaning

The Former Fat Boys' song "Imaginate" is a humorous exploration of the singer's imagination and aspirations, as well as his pursuit of love and fame. The first verse finds the singer reveling in his popularity at a club and boasting about his forthcoming album. He claims that he will never produce a flop, comparing his rise to success to a pearl necklace. However, he notes that the crowd goes quiet when another person, referred to only as "S," enters the room, suggesting that there may be competition for his spot at the top. The singer drinks heavily at the bar and reflects on his troubled relationship with his body, wishing he could have abs instead of a "washboard chest." The second verse changes focus to the singer's romantic aspirations. He describes a woman with whom he is hopelessly infatuated, but also expresses concern that he may lose his heart in the process of pursuing her. He is captivated by her physical appearance, particularly her "cute fucking ass," but also describes a desire to look into her eyes and hold her through the night. However, he realizes that he needs to ask for help in navigating his emotions, comparing his situation to a victim of a tsunami who needs assistance. The final line of the song finds the singer feeling confident and unconcerned with the opinions of others, stating that he is ready to dance and be himself.

Fun fact: starvation doesn’t actually help lose weight that much, excess “fat” in the body will react to the starvation and provide it to the body like food itself. Kinda like seed leaves on a plant

@user-ud4qk9ii2b

We all know that

@cherrymoon9691

Yup we all know that

@marybethricci9495

The reason he lived without food for a year is because of his body fat.

@Slaybaddiequeenxoxo

How do people get so skinny then if the fat never goes away?

@n0lifeninja991

@Its Ebs xx Trust me, its a lot harder then you think.

Remember even when you do something like this guy did to lose weight. You must always do it for your own good. Because just because you lost weight doesn't mean you won't be judged by people, being judged is a part of life.

@deadlyhornet6673

It's a fictional story

@FuriousSithLord

It’s impossible to survive without food for 200 days, although water can help you live longer, you’d be lucky to live a month

@itzbunnyistic6281

If you don’t eat food, your body will eat up your fat THATS why you don’t die
