What If - Vin Jay

[00:19.852]Just imagine if I never heard of Rap (Yeah)
[00:22.537]Never heard of Pac, no Biggie, or heard of Mac (Nah)
[00:25.769]Never made a name or put my city on the map (Map)
[00:28.265]And never made a record that was dissing mumble tracks, yeah
[00:31.752]I bet that I would probably take the safe route (Yeah)
[00:35.008]Probably work a wack nine to five and I'd blow my ****in' brains out (Boom)
[00:38.151]Never finding no ways out, I'd be posted up in this same town (Damn)
[00:41.208]Never see these commas that been flowing through my PayPal
[00:44.283]We're about to be crazy from emotions I'm concealing (Woo)
[00:47.383]Stay laid awake while I'm contemplating my life, looking at the ceiling
[00:50.482]And take some medication just to dull the way I'm feeling (Huh?)
[00:53.563]Then post it up on that 'Gram to make my life more appealing
[00:57.529]Yeah, I keep my focus, go to college and be straight
[01:00.128]Then I live the rest of my life with an occupation that I hate (Yeah)
[01:02.968]Maxing out like all of my credit with some bills I cannot pay (Pay)
[01:06.400]Then convince my ****ing kids that they should go and do the same (Woo)
[01:09.394]Dear Lord, my kids'll tell me what they wanna be (Be)
[01:12.444]Then I tell them \"Go to college\" even if they disagree (-Gree)
[01:15.676]Let the system beat them down while it just proceeds to kill their dreams (Yeah)
[01:18.854]And I watch, as they all become as miserable as me
[01:21.980]Ya'll know ain't no doubt if I never heard Rap, I'd be a mess
[01:25.061]I'd be knee deep in that liquor and I'd be drowning in my debt (Debt)
[01:28.464]Work all day but I get no rest (Rest)
[01:29.763]Just get by with a minimal check
[01:31.325]Tell me what's the point in my life when I'm only living with regret?
[01:34.530]Damn, and I been wondering if I ever gave my best yet
[01:38.019]Probably be the same until I'm posted on my death bed, huh
[01:41.184]If I never heard of rap I know that nothing would be the same (Yeah)
[01:44.312]But this is who I'm meant to be, this ****ing shit is in my veins (Go)
[01:47.581]I'm ready to kill it, not leaving a witness
[01:49.098]I'm coming to level the game
[01:50.313]Man I been living with no kind of limits
[01:51.900]I body you bitches, don't get in my way (Yeah)
[01:53.696]Never be dealing with none of you lames
[01:54.997]Ain't no comparing us, we not the same
[01:56.578]Ya'll have been tripping, the void I been filling
[01:58.181]Got better from music, I'm numbing the pain
[01:59.763]Man I really wish I had this booth (Booth)
[02:01.385]When I was a kid locked in my room (Room)
[02:02.906]****in' with a razor blade 'til I fade away
[02:04.513]And I was hopin' that my day comes soon
[02:06.067]Wanted to make it but know I never got through
[02:07.653]Said \"I'd be the best\", but I had no proof
[02:09.232]But I've got 'em talking now 'cause I'm bossing out
[02:10.863]And my dreams about to come true
[02:12.436]Now we trippin' overseas
[02:13.870]Devil in me, gotta pack the Rosaries
[02:15.366]Left fam and they meant the most to me
[02:16.930]Had to put 'em in the past, they don't believe
[02:18.635]Real quick for the fam and the ones who doubted
[02:20.351]Come take a look at all the guap I'm countin'
[02:21.829]Living on top, it don't get too crowded (Nah)
[02:23.418]Know I'm alone but I feel surrounded, damn
[02:25.448]Make a name with this filthy grind (Grind)
[02:27.030]Ya'll can't break what I built this time
[02:28.527]Could of died from all the shit I've done
[02:30.000]But I beat the odds and I will survive
[02:31.717]Still I do what I please (Woo)
[02:33.298]We live on the profit off of my kings (Yeah)
[02:34.496]But I gotta take the time to just pray to God
[02:36.294]'Cause life had me down on my knees
[02:37.663]Yeah, so ain't no question, I'm about to do it right (Right)
[02:41.169]I be sacrificing everything and grinding through the night (Let's do this)
[02:44.400]While I spill my ****ing heart out when I get up on this mic
[02:47.116]'Cause I know one day they gon' hear me and I'ma change my ****ing life
