I usually don’t ask too many questions, but
Just give me one time to do it
What if, i never found a way to speak what’s on my mind, act like everything is fine?
What if it’s another lie?
What if i, didn’t see every moment as a grind?
What if i ain’t try harder like every time?
What if i ain’t think bout every line, cuz i pay too much attention to the details?
What if i didn’t speak well?
What if i got stuck workin’ in retail daily selling my life away
Just to come back the next day to hear that we failed?
What if, i didn’t quit thru an email and never hеar nothing back?
What if all our skin matched, would that have matterеd?
Like when we tried rentin’ places to stay and and they stopped answerin’
Because of how we look i guess it seem we ain’t got manners
What if that’s why i wanted to be a rapper?
Something in me knew i couldn’t live up to anyone’s standards
But what if money was never a factor?
What if life didn’t feel like a disaster?
Man i wouldn’t even know what to tell you
I don’t even know what to say
But, i know i wouldn’t know what to tell you
I don’t know what to say
But i’m tryna find a way
What if
We were able to see each other’s views so we could understand all of the questions, that pursued?
What, if, things panned out to be exactly how you imagine with no distractions
Would you still see it through?
Or would you take it for granted cuz you know it’s achievable?
What if everything everyone said was believable?
What if maybe i’m thinking too hard about it and so i drink and smoke
One day mix the wrong sh#t, and end up chokin’ cuz nobody in the room knew cpr?
And i’m double parked so they towing my car
From myself i’m going far into an abyss, of nothingness
And not a nan notha n#gg# know anything that could help this sh#t
What if nice guys never finished last?
What if we never got stuck in the past?
What if we never had to worry so fast?
Would i be able to figure out how to make it last?
Would i feel like i had it together like christmas laughs?
What if i got everything that i wanted, in a bag
That’ll keep it and lonely nights ain’t make me feel sad?
It get deep but i knew i was on the right track
Every day getting pushed around but i knew how to fight back
What if i didn’t write that?
What if i wasn’t true to myself, and i ain’t like that?
Kept my mouth closed cuz i couldn’t face the man in the mirror
What if they heard my words clearer, and we stopped living in fear that the end is getting nearer?
We started exercising our rights to have ’em hear us
And they started to listen to us rather try to kill us
They wouldn’t have to use a tank of gas to try and feel us
They tear us down as we try to build us but we been on ground for too long
What if we got tired of singing the same songs ’bout sh#t that ain’t changed in a long time?
All because of the skin of our kind treating us different callin’ us n#gg#s before apartheid
The rage in our eyes is growing and they can’t control us
What if we formed together started taking over one day we ain’t have to look over each other’s shoulder?
Our minds staying solid we getting bolder
What if we always broke the silence and pushed forward?
What if we had someone behind that knew where we going?
What if all the money and diamonds were never stolen?
What if we never got up on that boat then?
We never became poets
Not showing our different motives to become something bigger than anyone ever known of
For younger generations so they get a better hold of life
Through the trials and the tribulations that we’ve grown accustomed to
Creating a number of troubled youth uneducated by truths
Not once ever knowing what’s gonna be their next move
Maybe it’s too late when them questions hit yo line and call on you
And you still don’t know what the f#ck to do
So i still wouldn’t know what to tell you
I wouldn’t know what to tell you i don’t know what to say
But i’ma find a way, a way a way a way
