IF I

The clock's been ticking, not once has it reset
Moments pass by, not once have I feasted
Dreams last forever but reality's quick man
If I don't act now, mine will break into pieces

I'm just like pops, repeating what he says
Easy to ride waves, but to come up with a thesis?
It tends to hurt less I if I pretend it's all peaches
Sweet for the moment, but when they rot in the sun

I'll be picking em for life, devil fruits got me done
No lord to save me, my sins weigh a ton
Gluttonous for the gravy, my sloth always stun
Need some greed to stack me a bundle of funds

If I die today and die alone it won't matter me none
My spark has charged down like my battery's run
If I try to fly, it'll hurt I'm just scared of the sun
But comfort is a cold grip that's apparently won

Like If I fall, like if I die
Like if I live, like if I rise
Like if I fail, like if I try
Like if I win, like if I fly
Like If I fall, like if I die
Like if I live, like if I rise
Like if I fail, like if I try
Like if I win, like if I fly

Maybe I could take back all of my mis-steps
Life ain't a book I can't say that I mis-read
So instead I press on and then regret
No rewind so I windup and then win back

My pain more familiar to a sentence than syntax
Same shit daily, it's too easy to sit back
When I'm old and grey I'm gonna wish that I spit back
However many rhymes it would take me to pay back

All of this debt, nigga, all of my stress
Yea my life is simple but I crave the success
Airing out my dirty laundry, always real complex
But I can't afford to not afford a new conquest

My change needs change almost at a cardboard box
Silly nigga with the fro top to shaved down locks
Black hoods to white ties like I switched up spots
If I daydream that means that I ain't gone rot

Like If I fall, like if I die
Like if I live, like if I rise
Like if I fail, like if I try
Like if I win, like if I fly
Like If I fall, like if I die
Like if I live, like if I rise
Like if I fail, like if I try
Like if I win, like if I fly

Fuck the record man it ain't a question of if
I will try, I will live, I will win, I will fly
Gravestone plotted and inscribed "herein lie"
Jaguar baby, young man with a clear mind

Weight off my shoulders finna do what I'm here for
La familia, dinero, solo dos de mis amores
Been holding back, but I know what I'm needed for
Till I'm in the grave, can't hold back in debris of war

Wading in the water, need to pray to the father
Don't believe in shit but fear at the altar
Tell that nigga god, man I can't falter
It's time to fucking jet, no more wading in water

Dreams last forever, never settle for less
Big years coming, I just came to finesse
There's no more "if" I'll take over this shit
Young Jaguar prowling bout to go on a trip...

Like If I fall, like if I die
Like if I live, like if I rise
Like if I fail, like if I try
Like if I win, like if I fly
