If I Can

If I can give you the world that's just what I'd do
Canada, Mexico, Panama, Haiti, Peru
Italy, Finland, Nigeria, Fiji, Liberia
Feel like a swim then I'll go get you Lake Superior too
Never knew a truer love 'till you threw up on my shoe
Wasn't even mad at all wiped it off smiled through it
At that moment I discovered what was bubbling and been brewing
In my stomach wasn't hunger that was love and it was you that came along A
Grandma warned me that the bond would be this strong A
Have me wrapped around your pinky writing songs A
Apparently as you can see she wasn't wrong A
She wasn't wrong but there will be times I might be
Though highly unlikely
Moments you'll dislike me 'cause you're stubborn just like me
We gon' kick and scream say some things we don't mean bugging out
Take 'em back apologize wipe our eyes and hug it out that's love

If I can I will
If I can I will
I hope you never have to question
You're my baby and my best friend
If I can I will
If I can I will
No I won't never treat you less than
You're my baby and my best friend

I'll never forget when you said Madison's your best friend now
Couldn't believe when I heard that
Don't get me wrong I mean she's cool and all
Goes to your school and all but tell me what she do to deserve that?
She rub your tummy when you feeling yucky?
Bake mac n' cheese when you hungry?
Pomegranate bath bombs ensuring that your tub is bubbly huh does she?
Nah I'm just playing baby friendships are lovely
If I can remove all the ugly that you'll come across
Never subject you to a backstab double cross
Bad batch of immature boys making bad decisions
I'd wave a wand, cast a spell I would snap a finger
Too bad that this planet isn't
Isn't always Strawberry Pocky's
It's more Hot Cheetos and Takis
Spicy, spiky, wobbly, wishy, washy, rocky
If ever you feel you're 'bout to topple over just know that you got me I'm here

If I can I will
If I can I will
I hope you never have to question
You're my baby and my best friend
If I can I will
If I can I will
No I won't never treat you less than
You're my baby and my best friend

If I can freeze the clock then I would freeze the clock
Keep you the same height forever all your teeth or not
If I could have my way of it, you wouldn't change a bit
Cutie patootie, sweet, petite you wouldn't age a lick
But before I know it you gon' grow up come home later than expected
Start ignoring all my messages make my pressure go up
I just hope that you're responsible, reliable
Learn to look for worms in every apple that you bite into
In spite of being frightened always fight for what feels right to you
If ever stifled don't forget that you got angels
Abeulita somewhere guiding you reminding you
Of the greatness that's inside of you
Yea it's inside of you
You got that Howard Bison in your blood no pressure though
If you choose Hampton, I still love you enough to let you go
I hope that scholarship covers all your expenses though
It's only room and board
Me and your mama gonna have to let you know

If I can I will

If I can I will
I hope you never have to question
You're my baby and my best friend
If I can I will
If I can I will
No I won't never treat you less than
You're my baby and my best friend

As you can see these are less like songs and more like diary entries
But that's kind of always the way I approached music
If you get it, you get it if they don't, they don't
That's cool too
