If I Ruled the World

Naomi Medina

if i ruled the world in 2021

you would see all the kids playing

having fun

i would make sure that hip-hop took over playgrounds

make sure pac and big is part of the curriculum

i would tell stories for kids that couldn’t tell their own

make sure everyone lives the right way

no broken bones

“if i ruled the world and everything in it, sky’s the limit”

living up to quotes by nasir jones cause

“wisdom is better than silver and gold” ain’t the miseducation

this the real story told

if i ruled the earth

the whole wide world

no black kid would feel less than they’re worth

and once i lifted all my folks up

i’d bring everyone else with us to the top
