Hold on, hold on, hold on, I gotta do this
For the kids But it's also for you niggas too
Cause in this world, there's a lot of what ifs
I'm just now beginning to think about it
Don't think about it too long
Cause there's a lot of what ifs
Don't think about it too long
Yeah, yeah, hey
What if a nigga got a deal
What if a nigga showed up with a mil
What if a nigga got low
Would you kick it with a nigga still? Hey
What if a nigga gave up
What if a nigga f*cked around and got stuck Hey
What if a nigga played tough
Then a nigga sent his young hittas wet a nigga up
What if?
Yeah, it's a lot of what ifs up in the world
But what if?
Yeah, don't think about it too long
Cause there's a lot of what ifs
Don't think about it too long
Cause there's a lot of what ifs What if
Uh, yeah, what if I never did music
Would you even know my name
Would you love me just the same? (What if)
What if I loved you and abused it Would you forgive a nigga right
Or bottle it up inside? What if
What if I never gave a f*ck
Would you talk a nigga down
Would you lift a nigga up? What if
I connected all the dots When you played me with your bots
Just to make your nigga an op (What if)
It's too much that I can say
From being on the sideline
And calling audible plays What if
This ain't from times way back up in the days
But it's ear appealin cause the what ifs are still in play
What if?
So I slide out
Cause I done graduated
From being most loved
To being now hated But that's the goal though
To be inside all of they minds Even if it's for the wrong note Singz
It's a season for my vibe
But most will never get it
Cause they fed so many lies (whoo)
You better open up your mind
Cause they playing with your boundaries And crossing all your lines
Dot your t's and cross your i's Wait
I said it backwards
Cross your t's and dot your i's
Better learn to play chess
Before they catch you in the bind
And it's check mate every time
(Gah Damn)
What if? What if I never did music
Would you even know my name?
Would you love me just the same What if?
What if I loved you and abused it
Would you forgive a nigga right Or bottle it up inside What if?
What if I never gave a f*ck
Would you talk a nigga down?
Would you lift a nigga up
What if? I connected all the dots

What if a nigga got low?
Would you kick it with a nigga still
What if a nigga gave up?
What if a nigga f*cked around and got stuck
What if a nigga played tough?
Then a nigga sent his young hittas wet a nigga up
What if
