IF NOT ME THEN WHO

If not me then who
If not me then who
If not me then who
If not me then who
Life's a battlefield (If not me then who)
No one else can fight your wars (If not me then who)
Or carry your burdens (if not me then who)
When faced with adversity (if not me then who)
There's only one question we need to ask ourselves
If not me then who

If not me then who's gon' make this known
If not me then who's gon' take this throne
I said let the birds fly Imma stack my stones
Said let the birds fly Imma stack my stones
If not me then who's gon' dumb this down
If not me then who's gon' run this town
I said heavy is the head that wears the crown
Said heavy is the head that wears the crown

I struggle on longer but I'm restoring faith with
Double entendres in my morning pages
I'm the righteous king of rap, McQueen is lightning on the track
No 9 to 5 got pots of jacks but I've been scoring aces
That's enough about cards though
Imma paint a picture like Pablo Picasso
Just a young kid from the burbs and he got flow
Smith with the words but he too afraid to drop those
If not me then who
If not me then who
If not me then who
If not me then who
If not me then who
If not me then who
If not me then who
If not me then who
Putting pen to paper toasting tracks like they Pop Tarts
Cook and end up faker boasting stacks so they top charts
Winning raps predictable they hitching up and hardly fall
Women cash and criminals I switch it up like Monty Hall
I'm knowing not to wonder whether pleasure for my betterment
My flow is summer weather under pressure cool like peppermint
I'm free of wack fillers
Testing me I rap iller
Stressing these last pillars
Rest in peace Mac Miller

If not me then who's gon' make this known
If not me then who's gon' take this throne
I said let the birds fly Imma stack my stones
Said let the birds fly Imma stack my stones
If not me then who's gon' dumb this down
If not me then who's gon' run this town
I said heavy is the head that wears the crown
Said heavy is the head that, look, look

All I wanna do is rap, leave me be
I found that time cannot be bought, ChatGPT
Paper star Michael Scott gotta meet these needs
I raise the bar like a squat drop to see these knees
'Cause when darkness blinding guidance elevation strikes the hazy mist
The mark is finding silence meditations like Aurelius
It's crazy this
Is maybe bliss
To serve the world like gravy dish
The cards that I was dealt I flipped 'em like the safety switch
If not me then who gon' freestyle at the drive thru
Even achieving the dream while I find food
Working every day you know that I stay on the grind dude
Um, sir that's very great but there's a line of cars behind you
Flow getting faster than grub than I'm ordering
I'm letting laughter and love that was bordering
Outta my heart and my soul now I'm pouring it
Into the art and my goals I'm adoring it
See through every lie like all the walls I have been trapped within
Need to recognize I'm free to fall while this is happening
The comfort was dispensable
I trust the unconventional
Will break me out this cage and turn the page to the intentional
The stones I'm steady stacking start to sling 'em so I shatter glass
Student of the game but I still teach it like a masterclass

If not me then who's gon' make this known
If not me then who's gon' take this throne
I said let the birds fly Imma stack my stones
Said let the birds fly Imma stack my stones
If not me then who's gon' dumb this down
If not me then who's gon' run this town
I said heavy is the head that wears the crown
Said heavy is the head that wears the crown
