What If

Vamos
Abran paso para el malo
Hay un tipo malo por aquí,
Así que mejor fuera de su camino
Ustedes que son? Buenos? Que va!
Todos saben esconderse
Yo
No tengo ese problema
Yo siempre digo la verdad
Aún cuando miento

What if the world thought that hate as a foreign language
What if the women that were raped, never faced that image
What if the fiend on the corner did to scratch his itch
What if the homie locked up never smashed his bitch

What if the prisoners really did rehabilitate
Will we ever make it back to human,
or is it too late, too late
Will we ever make it back or is it too late

Now, what if a big 'papy' and 'pap' never had a beef
What if doctor Drew write the letter from king little G
What if the gangs of vale, they promoted world peace
Lay down their colors for the future, What if war see's

What if Brendas baby who's crying up in the dumpster
Would have been the president shit, despite her mother
What if the homies had homes and the hungry full
What if we now talked the truth into all schools

What if we stop pointing fingers at sort of all shit
Even if I did write it down,
the stuff are still there, still there yeah
Even if I did write it down, the stuff are still there

Now, what if my moms and my paps, they never broke up
What if I slept through all the fights and never woke up
What if I got to play ball instead up runnin streets
What if I never caught my first beef at 13

What if your life was like mine, could you keep pace
What if you don't would have overcome, could you keep face
What if the word family had a different meaning
What if the plot didn't think instead it felt reason

What if the one that you love, never loved you back
What if you never said goodbye, never time left
Sign here, yah, everything is flying fast
Eyes cry many a tears, Aint no denyin that

And what if his daddy wasn't shot by a cop
With no compassion, pull the trigger then his heart stops
And what if he was white, would it have made a difference
He's an educated man, has a family and some business

But as the time what about the daddy of the street
In a nicer part of town, coaches his kids little league
Goes to the same church as the man murdered before
But none of that matters once he puts on that blue uniform

Now he's a cop, public enemy number one
So what do we do, pull out another fucking gun
Mind about the color but the problem is so much bigger
Yeah you're blinded by the color so you don't see the bigger picture

And what if the priest didn't touch her when she was little
Would she still sell her ass on the corner, just tryin to get a little
Hey religion, doubtin god but she aint been a chsitian
Tell me would she feel so fucking little

And tell me if you didn't have a piece of shit daddy,
spending all his money ofn chains and the caddy
Tell me do you think he would have got straight A's
if his daddy made it out to just one play

Now, his daddy is on the corner, selling drugs all day
He is just like his daddy, he got bills to pay
He got a baby girl now, and guess what,
He treats her the exact same way, it's a shame

Now what if we stopped sayin what if
Be the change we need to see, break the chains, make the worlds shift
Political puppets, don't you see it's all divided
Because they know that if we stand together we are so much stronger

United we stand, hand in hand and change the world
Intervene, be the change we need, be the weed that we need to succeed
What if we could do it, yeah what if we could do it
What if...
