Discover the story of the song > If I Ruled the World (Imagine That) – Nas

The song is about the thoughts of the protagonist about how the world would be if he was in charge. He imagines a world where people can smoke weed and go to court without a trial, where women are raised differently and there is no need for welfare. He also thinks about how great it would be if everyone wore designer clothes and there were no undercover cops. He wants to free all his sons and make life better for everyone.
