What If!?

Guess it's that time again

What if
What if
I treated life as a chore
Then gave it all up
Because I felt bored
Curled up under covers
Me can't take no more

What if
What if
As a youngin I jumped off the terrace
Cuz I couldn't handle
Being teased and embarrassed
And not see the fortune
From all my merits

What if
What if
I died young
And my parents had to suffer
Will they be strong enough
To protect my younger brother
Or drown in their sorrows
To then lose another

What if
What if
I opened up and
Allowed you to delve
In my mind to see
I'm finally doing well
I deserve all the joy
For going thru all the hell
What if

What if
What if
I never made it pass
Sixteen
Yet twenty five
Feels like a lofty dream
Now i'm in my thirties
I can do anything

What if
What if
I grew up a bad child
Became a dropout
Followed the wrong crowd
Masked up
Before i'm six feet
Underground

What if
What if
My nigga Show
Never went to the PJs
Tunes will still be alive
This very day
And family ties
Won't go separate ways

What if
What if
All my people
Safely made it home
Nobody spun the block
Just to let off chrome
Hurts my soul that I won't
Get answers on this song
What If

How much time a nigga
Spend on a intro
As I stand here
Rappin off of impulse
Lettin out my woes
Fo' I implode
Just to run it with my woes
To the next flo

This is top shelf
The penthouse
A different kind of elegance
No longer surrounded
In those grim environments
On my path
Until I reach
A higher state of conscious

And gather enough funds
Turn prisons
Into establishments
God this is heaven sent
Give each settlement
To every descendants
Just for their betterment
So they can benefit

From the fruits
Of my labor
Can care less
If they minor or major
As long as what they do
Make our bloodline greater
They'll never owe me any favors
PROV

I'm outside nigga
The crown is mine
What if I spent less time on a intro
