HOOK

What if everybody knew their purpose?

And nothing’s hidden cuz it’s on the surface

And morals didn’t shift just from a purchase

I swear that shit’ll leave you feelin’ worthless

Now, what if nobody discovered fire?

And it was proven that there wasn’t anybody higher?

What if life was always guaranteed?

Then, maybe none of this is meant to be...

What if?

What if it’s all a simulation

A higher-powered operation

Take a couple hundred nations and break ‘em and toss advantages to each and base it off their location

Press start — wait (mute beat)

It takes time but let ‘em procreate, overtime you’ll find that naturally they immigrate

A new place

Some from here, some from there

Different races, different hair

Who cares what we look like?

It’s our differences that make us unique, you heard the hook right?

Imagine life - no spite

No crime, no more people tellin’ bold lies

We’d still fight but it’s alright

Good night, then start it over with the new light

HOOK

Imagine there’s a world where we can say what we feel

Ain’t gotta worry ‘bout the fake because we know that they’re real

What if not a single person was out here starvin’ for a meal?

Feelin’ hopeless so your last resort is go out there and steal

You can’t escape what’s eating you alive while tryna heal

You’re feelin’ lonely and you isolate yourself, you’re too uncomfortable, you know the judgment’s comin’ right as soon as you reveal whatever’s goin’ on inside, us people really need to peel —

Layers, there’s no other way to say this, we really need to care less and address the situation

We ain’t nameless, be more shameless, take more chances, and put to use imagination

Be more gracious, it’s contagious

I mean we can’t always be nice and when we aren’t, just separate it

Avoid the energy, it’s not worth it

And be the bigger person, then go earn what you deserve

HOOK

What if not a single person’s up there; this is it?

You gon’ drop down to the ground, or still be livin’ it?

What if we worked our very best at everything and all the time?

I wonder what we could find

Maybe we’d have already found our creator

Or we took it too far and split up at the equator

That’d be the end of the human race, we can’t save us, we could’ve left a better trace

Erase all that we’ve done and start it over like a game

We’re basically the SIMS but we’re the ones that get to play

At least it seems that way but really who’s to say?

Who made hate? It needs to go away

Our life’s a race

And there’s a finish line but we ain’t got a clue ‘bout where it is or which day
