Lyrics
When I was young I used to play with action figures on my floor
With the white ranger leading the war
Batman and Superman they would even the score
Every time I brought the bad guys home from the store
You see those were different shows but to me, it didn't matter
Those were my heroes so they fought the same battle
For hours I would sit inside of my room and play
So the good guys could win at the end of the day
See, imagination is human nature
And making something out of nothing named something greater
When I was young I just wanted to be a Power Ranger
Like Jason David Frank and I put that on tape
But then I went to school, they said that I was different
I was open-minded but they claimed I wouldn't listen
Tried to put me on the Ritalin to make me relax
But my parents weren't having any of that
Imagine a world with no imagination
There'd be no cars on the road and no pavement
No modern medicine, no vaccinations
Everything that's man-made would've never been created
Imagine a world with no imagination (just do it)
Imagine a world with no imagination (just do it)
Let the kids be kids and just be patient
'Cause an imagination should never be wasted
My great-grandmother, she couldn't understand why
They'd give a pill to a child just to calm down their mind
So my mama in the eye don't ever give it to Matt
He's got imagination and there's nothing wrong with that
So time passed all my toys got scratched
I put them in the storage and I never got them back
And growing up I didn't have many friends
But I used imagination again, this time with a pen
Started writing in that same room I played in
Quite ironic how the times are changing
Started high school with mad writtens in my head
I didn't get a chance to record them 'til grade 10
A couple weeks after I made my first track that
Noxon says your great grandma just passed
I shed tears on that floor and wrote raps
'Cause if she was here she would want me doing that
Imagine a world with no imagination
There'd be no cars on the road and no pavement
No modern medicine, no vaccinations
Everything that's man-made would've never been created
Imagine a world with no imagination (just do it)
Imagine a world with no imagination (just do it)
Let the kids be kids and just be patient
'Cause an imagination should never be wasted
