If I Could
Thought if I could make it maybe I'd replace it
Replacing all the hatred that were facing let's face it
Coulda is a shoulda, shoulda is a woulda woulda, coulda, shoulda but didn't
Now we're all living in the system like a prison
Try and get a million but a million just isn't
Isn't what you're thinking when we're living how we're living
You could have 20 million and it wouldn't make a difference
Police still shooting all these innocent victims
Civilians by the millions still swimming in the system
Lacking, what you give them? little food and a visit
Couldn't do much stuck in this useless position
Hold on and be strong like Tupac said couldn't of been wrong but now Tupac's dead
Wish I could bring em back just to hear how he would sound
You know if I could...
You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could
A child's life is living and living is good
But trust me life is different when you live in the hood
We're all women and children so it shouldn't be different
But shouldn't be and wouldn't be usually isn't
The truth of the matter is, the fact and the math of it
They plan to hold you down and the plan is elaborate
Remember black power now you're better off dead
Full of credit card debt just to forget what y'all said
Working a 9-to-5 and still living in shelters
I understand why it's like living is helpless
Katrina made it clear they don't care about blacks
They only care about oil and care about Iraq
But I still have I dream like how Martin said
Martin had the feeling that now Martin's dead
Wish I could bring him back just to hear how he would sound
You know if I could...
You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could
Tired of sad songs, pain and the sorrow
Playing all the same games waiting for tomorrow
Cause we can't change them but we could change we
And what we would make and could make we should make it be
So now, now it's time to move with your head up
Excuses is useless the truth is you're fed up
Sleeping in a bathroom protecting your son
Cutting corners where you have to but you're getting it done
Now that's the heart of a hustler heart of a lion
You could talk all you wanna to but you gotta start trying
Just try it for a evening stop believing what you're seeing
Stop being what they believe and just believe in what you're dreaming
I believe Malcom seen it had a lot in his head
They couldn't stop him talking so they shot him instead
Wish I could bring him back just to hear how he would sound
You know if I could...
You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could
Replacing all the hatred that were facing let's face it
Coulda is a shoulda, shoulda is a woulda woulda, coulda, shoulda but didn't
Now we're all living in the system like a prison
Try and get a million but a million just isn't
Isn't what you're thinking when we're living how we're living
