Here I stand alone
with this weight upon my heart
and it will not go away
in my head I keep on looking back
right back to the start
wondering what it was that made you change
Well I tried, but I had to draw the line
and still this question keeps on spinning in my mind
What if I had never let you go
would you be the man I used to know
If I'd stay If you'd tried, if we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know...
Many roads to take
some to joy, some to heart-ache
any one can move away
and if I said that we could turn back
right back to the start
would you take the chance and make it change?
Do you think, how it would have been sometimes?
do you pray that I'd never left your side?
What if I had never let you go
would you be the man I used to know
If I'd stay. If you'd tried, if we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know...
If you want me to turn the hands of time
If I could turn it back would you stay as mine?
'coz I tried, but I had to draw the line
and still this question keeps on spinning in my mind
What if I had never let you go
would you be the man I used to know
What if I had never walked away
'coz I still love you more than I can say
If I'd stay. If you'd tried, if we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know...
we'll never know...
[Intro]
Yeah
Im fuckin with this..
Its that classic shit..
That gangster shit..
Yeah..
[Chorus]
Man I watch the sun go up and come down
Sayin.. what if?
Man I watch the tide roll in and roll out
Sayin.. what if?
Homie I play the block tryna get my packs off
Sayin.. what if?
Man if I get a shot, I can make it to the top
Damn.. what if?
[Verse]
If I got on some pretty boy shit like Puffy
Niggaz in the hood man they jus wouldnt love me
If I wore a suit everyday like Jay-Z
Niggaz would think I bumped my fuckin head and went crazy
If I put diamonds in my teeth like Baby
I wouldnt stand a chance of tryin to sell like Shady
If I put out bullshit joints like AZ
Every chance niggaz get they try n play me
But I move around with a lil 3.80
A nigga try to stunt, a nigga get sprayed B
If I smoke weed all day like Snoop do
I see the world different through my dialated pupils
If I buss dance moves on ya like Usher
Niggaz would say 50 that aint gangster, fuck ya
Man ima just keep doin' what I do..
Cuz niggaz cant do me better than I do
[Chorus]
Man I watch the sun go up and come down
Sayin.. what if?
Man I watch the tide roll in and roll out
Sayin.. what if?
Homie I play the block tryna get my packs off
Sayin.. what if?
Man if I get a shot, I can make it to the top
Damn.. what if?
[Verse]
What if I had blockbuster slips like Will Smith
And all the backpack niggaz love me like Mos Def
I probably be a cool ass nigga like Ice Cube
Picture me in the flick right now lookin' so cool
What if I was a low-key nigga just laid back
Hustle to keep a homie around somebody to hold a gat
Man what if Halle Berry was my nex baby momz
Shit I get that child support up with no problem
If I caught a case and jump bail like ??get caught??
Cuz im that nigga everybody know from New York
What if I was a new rap nigga you didnt know
You be sayin damn that kid got a sick flow
But if I just cruise through your hood on 22's
Bumpin Curtis Mayfield and Marvin "So Smooth"
And if I let the top down on the Azure
Yeah that'd make you sick to your stomach, im sure
Haha..
[Chorus]
Man I watch the sun go up and come down
Sayin.. what if?
Man I watch the tide roll in and roll out
Sayin.. what if?
Homie I play the block tryna get my packs off
Sayin.. what if?
Man if I get a shot, I can make it to the top
Damn.. what if?
(John Farrar)
When no one seems to hear you
And you're longing to be heard
What if there was someone
Who'd hang on every word
Before you remind me
That this is the real world
Ask yourself, What if?
And what if there's a door way
Through the walls of time and space
Where love could be allowed to show
Her long forgotten face
Before you remind me
That this is the real world
Ask yourself, What if?
What if there's a moment
When angry hearts forgive
A time for giving harmony
And peace a chance to live
Before you remind me
That this is the real world
Ask yourself, What if?
I ran into a friend of yours the other day
And I asked her how you've been
She said my girl is fine; just bought a house, got a job, real good man
I told her I was glad for you; that's wonderful
But does she ever ask `bout me?
She said she's happy with her life right now
Let her go, let her be
And I told myself I would, but something in my heart just would not let you go
I just wanna know
What if we were wrong about each other?
What if you were really made for me?
What if we was `sposed to be together?
Would that not mean anything?
What if that was `sposed to be my house that you go home to every day?
How can you be sure that things are better?
If you can't be sure your heart is still here with me
Still wanting me
Your friend asked me if there was someone special in my life that I was seeing
I told her there was no one in particular
There's just I, myself, and me
I told her that I dream of you quite often
She just cut her eyes at me
She said you got a home, you're very happy
So just stop your meddling
I told her that I won't
I said things were cool, but I guess I was wrong
I still can't move on
Now that could be my car
That could be my house
That could be my baby boy that you're nursing
That could be the trash that I always take out
That could be the chair that I love to chill in
That could be my food on the table at the end of the day
Hugs and the kisses, all the love we make
What the hell do you expect me to say?
What if it's really `sposed to be this way?
What if, what if, what if
I stepped into our van that morning
What if, what if, what if
I didn't catch that phone call coming in
Same place five seconds later
Someone else same time
Same day five seconds later
Just a guy like me
What if, what if, what if,
We changed our seats and I was driving
What if, what if, what if,
We changed our seats but kept our timing
Same place, five seconds later
Someone else, same time
Same day, five seconds later
Just a guy like me
Fate struck without a warning
Life turned black that sunday morning
What if, what if, what if,
He'd chosen to take another road
What if, what if, what if,
You could turn back time just once?

dateline the early 1970's
now world famous rock quartet
the doors, lead singer james morrison
has recently died
while down but certainly not out
the surviving members desparetly
tried to piece together their broken lives
every option was considered, a new name
the windows, the walls, even the door knobs
ultimately, the band opted to carry on
under the original doors name
auditioning new singers.
one young hopeful, a struggling art
student from athens georgia,
fred schnider, who went on to front
the hugely successful b-52's tried
out for this position
the lyrical style of the young schnider
more known for his quick wit and
imprompto jams was hard fought
to match the well structured
melodies of the classic doors numbers.
let's listen in...
love me 2 times
love me 3 times
i've got me a car
it seats about 20
so hurry up and bring
your juke box money
gloria
gloria
you're livin in your own private idaho
livin in your own private idaho
this is the end
this is the end
wammy kiss me wammy hug
revitalize me give me wammy love yea!
light my fire
we couldn't get much hire
he was in a jam
What if there was no light?
Nothin' wrong, nothin' right
What if there was no time
And no reason or rhyme?
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there by your side
That you don't want me there in your life?
What if I got it wrong?
And no poem or song
Could put right what I got wrong
Or make you feel I belong
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there by your side
That you don't want me there in your life?
Ooh, that's right
Let's take a breath, jump over the side
Ooh, that's right
How can you know it if you don't even try?
Ooh, that's right
Every step that you take
Could be your biggest mistake
It could bend or it could break
But that's the risk that you take
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there in your life
That you don't want me there by your side?
Ooh, that's right
Let's take a breath, jump over the side
Ooh, that's right
How can you know it when you don't even try?
Ooh, that's right
Ooh, that's right
Let's take a breath, jump over the side
Ooh, that's right
You know that darkness always turns into light
Ooh, that's right
chorus:
what if i'll never make it?
what if i'm never famous?
what if i'm broke,
and my whole life is been a joke?
what if nothing never happens?
what if i gotta stop rapping?
what if, what if, what if this is it?
what if i never got the chance to tell the world what i gotta say?
when i'll die all i do is just ride away
i tried to talk about my life in every song
so you have a little something to remember when i'm gone.
i tell you like this, i ain't pretending in the
but i tell you that i'm working and i'm getting very strong
it won't b long 'till you hear me on the radio
but in my head i got ways to go
but i'mma take it slow, this is the way to blow
so any place i go, i know my bank can
i'm taking notes, i am hip hop
it replaces my soul if i sing to the bottom and make a flow.
i heard the real world's cold, i'mma take your coat
be prepared, and be aware
chorus:
what if i'll never make it?
what if i'm never famous?
what if i'm broke,
and my whole life is been a joke?
what if nothing never happens?
what if i gotta stop rapping?
what if, what if, what if this is it?
expectations picking, they wonder what i'm about to do
sport interest, music i can count on you, right?
do i have it all twisted? i went from popular to in an instant
my friends forgot me cause they probably seen me on
in an where i should be out at a party!
it drives me crazy, money is the due
insomnia i could wait.. something i can do to put the work in it
failure getting jealous, throwing dirt upon my name
burning up my pain, but i'm working through my pain
cause life's hard, 'till you learn it's just a game!
play your cards, use your letters on your scrabble board
if you're small, put your heart into your rapping more
no money? why the fuck you're counting for?
a thousand.. trying to get up my allowances.
chorus:
what if i'll never make it?
what if i'm never famous?
what if i'm broke,
and my whole life is been a joke?
what if nothing never happens?
what if i gotta stop rapping?
[Verse 1]
(What if) what if I never slept around, never cheated on you girl
(What if) what if I didn’t break your heart and never ever ruined you world
(What if) what if I always was a real man, faced you face to face told you the truth?
(What if) what If I never ever tripped when you said you wanted to go out and hang with your crew?
(What if) what if I was a different man, than I was?
(What if) what if I wasn’t so selfish and took one second just to listen to you
(What if) what if I was alone? On my own
(What if) what if I wasn’t so damn controlling, you would still be right here
[Chorus]
We would still be together, be together, be together right now [3x]
We would still be together, we would still be together girl
[Verse 2]
(What if) what if I didn’t have lame excuses for all the stuff that I do?
(What if) what if I had no baby mommas, no damn drama and I never brought it around you
(What if) what if never called you out your name and treated you like you were my queen
(What if) what if I woke up from this madness and this shit was just a dream
(What if) what if I really went to work and didn't spend a whole day creeping?
(What if) what if you were at the beauty shop and you didn’t hear about me last week?
(What if) what if you ever asked me a question and I didn't stut-stut-stutter all of the time?
(What if) what if I wasn’t so damn controlling, you would stiiiill
[Chorus]
(What if) what if I never said I do when I do that I wasn’t ready for you
(What if) what if I gave a damn to my church and did to get off in the VIP
[Chorus]
We would still be together girl
what if the world was round - would anyone believe it ?
if there was no sound - would anyone hear it ?
if there was no sky - where would heaven be ?
if there is no god - there'll still be eternity
fragile as glass - so little we know
when time will pass and what time will show
I can't see a cloud - still I sense the rain
no crooked road has got me as far as this train
that won't get me down,
'cause you won't see a future 'till you're first in
line
that would be just fine,
'cause the end of the circle is the start of the line
all thing must pass,we'll come to an end
when nothing can last,there's not more to spend
well,there is no future,so nothing is to fear
we're pieces in this puzzle where nothing is common or
rare
that won't get me down,
'cause you won't see a future 'till you're first in
line
that would be just fine,
'cause the end of the circle is the start of the line
swim into future,dive beyond time
flow with the mainstream,follow the line
the future's an ocean,we dive beyond time
swim with the mainstream,follow the line
I follow the line...
that won't get me down,
'cause you won't see a future 'till you're first in
line
that would be just fine,
if the end of the circle's the start of the line
Shut every thing
What it would mean
It's a present [Incomprehensible]
If a prostitute was queen
What would happen then
How would the world change
If sick became sane
And the world was rearranged
The rains brought down the moon
And daylight was fear
And the sun rose too soon
And then just disappeared
If dogs became kings
And the pope [Incomprehensible]
And hobos had wings
And God was a bone
If houses became trees
And flowers turned to stone
And there were no families
And people lived alone
If buildings started laughing
And windows cried
And feet started clapping
An owl came in sight
If mountains fell in slivers
And the sky began to bleed
And blood filled up the rivers
And prisoners were free
If the stars fell apart
And the ocean dried up
And the world was one big heart
And decided to start
If children grew up happier
And they could run with the wolves
And they never felt trapped or
Or hungry or unloved
If cats walked on water
And birds sat [Incomprehensible]
And we loved one other
What if I lead the way
What if I make mistakes (will you be there?)
What if I change the world
What if I take the blame (will you be there?)
I remember going back to the place we used to lay
But I keep losing track
And now the days they all turn black
And our dreams all start to fade
But there's no turning back
Cause the world keeps turning
And my heart's still burning
What if I change the world
If I lead the way
What if I be the one who takes the blame
What if I can't go on without you
What if I graduate
What if I don't
What if I don't
Now I'm slowly, giving up
As the world keeps losing faith
And you still turn your back
Now the path I follow takes a tool on me, on you
But there's no turning back
Cause the world keeps turning
And my heart's still burning
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
For you to call me
Oh..
What if I lead the way
What if I graduate
What if I change the world
Would you still remember me?
What if I lead the way
What if I graduate
What if I change the world
And I found the words to tell you what you mean to me
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
For you to call me
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
What if every guy I saw
What if sittin' down at the bar
What if I told him to give me a call
What if, what if, what if, what if
What if every guy in the place
What if it was all up in my face
What if, what would you say
What if, what if, what if, what if
I hate a jealous man, one who doesn't understand
That I'm attractive, so of course men wanna take my hand
And lead me off around the corner, maybe to their place
But when they speak you get mad, jumpin' all up in my face
But on the other hand, when women come and speak to you
You kiss and hug them like it's something that you let me do
You're only jealous 'cause you know the ish you put me through
I might turn right around and do that ish right back to you
What if every guy I saw
What if sittin' down at the bar
What if I told him to give me a call
What if, what if, what if, what if
What if every guy in the place
What if it was all up in my face
What if, what would you say
What if, what if, what if, what if
I hate a lyin' dude, one who doesn't know the rules
If you gon' cheat, burn the receipt from the hotel room
But instead you're up in my face, saying you were at friends
But they all call askin' me where the hell you been
Why they keep treatin' us this way?
I guess it's a little game we play
We'll burn you, oh, we'll cut you, oh, we'll kill you, oh
We don't have to take it no more
What if every guy I saw
What if sittin' down at the bar
What if I told him to give me a call
What if, what if, what if, what if
What if every guy in the place
What if it was all up in my face
What if, what would you say
What if, what if, what if, what if
What if every guy I saw
What if sittin' down at the bar
What if I told him to give me a call
What if, what if, what if, what if
What if every guy in the place
What if it was all up in my face
What if, what would you say
What if, what if, what if, what if
Why they keep treatin' us this way?
I guess it's a little game we play
We'll burn you, oh, we'll cut you, oh, we'll kill you, oh
We don't have to take it no more
What if every guy I saw
What if sittin' down at the bar
What if I told him to give me a call
What if, what if, what if, what if
What if every guy in the place
What if it was all up in my face
What if, what would you say
What if, what if, what if, what if
What if every guy I saw
What if sittin' down at the bar
What if I told him to give me a call
What if, what if, what if, what if
What if every guy in the place
What if it was all up in my face
What if, what would you say
What if, what if, what if, what if
What if every guy I saw
What if sittin' down at the bar
What if I told him to give me a call
What if, what if, what if, what if
What if every guy in the place
What if it was all up in my face
What if, what would you say
What if, what if, what if, what if
What if every guy I saw
What if sittin' down at the bar
What if I told him to give me a call
What if, what if, what if, what if
What if every guy in the place
What if it was all up in my face
What if, what would you say
I often wonder just how can it be
But everytime I think about it
Seems impossible to me
I wanna touch you, call out your name
Would you be my love, would you be my friend
Would you feel the same
What if wishes all came true
And each one had a star
That would keep it shining brightly
However near or far
What if a miracle appeared
And heaven was here for us to see
Oh what if you, were to fall in love with me
I imagine, a picture in my mind
Don't speak, I can't believe this is here happening
Our situation isn't right
Get real, who you playing with? I never thought he'd be like this
You were supposed to be there by my side
When you say that you want me I just don't believe it
You're always ready to give up and never turn around
What if I need you baby? Would you even try to save me?
Or would you find some lame excuse to never be true?
What if I said I loved you? Would you be the one to run to?
Or would you watch me walk away without a fight?
I'm so sick of worrying that you're gonna quit over anything
I could trip and you'd let go like that
I'm everything that we ever were seems so fake but not the hurt
'Cause you don't know the good things from the bad
When I say that I want you, you know that I mean it
And in my hour of weakness there's still time to try
What if I need you baby? Would you even try to save me?
Or would you find some lame excuse to never be true?
What if I said I loved you? Would you be the one to run to?
Or would you watch me walk away without a fight?
Every time I speak you try and stop me
'Cause every little thing I say is wrong
You say you're noticing but you never see
This is who I really am that you can't believe
Makes me wanna know right now
If it's me you'll live without or would you change your mind?
What if I need you?
But what if I need you baby? Would you even try to save me?
Or would you find some lame excuse to never be true?
What if I said I loved you? Would you be the one to run to?
Or would you watch me walk away without a
Oh baby what if I need you?
What if I need you? What if I need you?
What if I need you? What if I need you?
What if nobody likes me
What if I don’t succeed
What if I give it all that I got and I still don’t got what they need
What if I don’t get anywhere at all
Would I consider myself a failure
Would I be that small
What if she doesn’t like me
What if I’m not her type
What if all the girls that ever like me are not the kind of girls that I like
What if I meet the right one and screw it up
Would I consider myself a failure
Would I give up
Chorus:
I’m gonna keep shinin denied just makes me want it more
I’ll keep shinin each time push harder than before
I can’t live my life always worried about what if
Cause what if I die tomorrow then I never even lived
What if they don’t like me
What if they think I’m a joke
What if they act nice to my face
But they hate me and I don’t even know
What if they end up stabbin me in the back
Would I consider myself a failure or would I fight back
Chorus (1X)
What if nobody likes me
What if I don’t succeed
What if I give it all that I got and it’s not good enough till I bleed
What if I don’t get anywhere at all
Would I consider myself a failure
Would I be that small
NO!!
Chorus (2X)
Been disconnected for so long
And left my mark here along the way
So many years have come and gone
So many fears have remained the same
I see a faith
I swim and play
Yet drowning all possibilities
Beyond what I believe and know
I cut the cord free of home again
It turns to silence
A silence sometimes I can hear
Internal violence
A struggle deep within what if
What if I leave, could I still breathe
What if I breathe, could I still be
And if I leave, would I be me
I lost my hope along the way
I lost my hope along the way
It turns to silence
A silence sometimes I can hear
Internal violence
A struggle deep within what if
What if I leave, could I still breathe
What if I breathe, could I still be
And if I leave, would I be me
What if
What if
What if
It turns to silence
A silence sometimes I can hear
Internal violence
A demon deep within what if
What if I leave, could I still breathe
What if I breathe, could I still be
And if I leave, would I be me
What if
What if
now what if my eyes rolled back in my head and turned blood red
fire from a bolt came down then there wouldn't, then there wouldn't be
a choice or a voice to say what I said (that's what I said)
now what if my soul stretched out for a mile
the shadow of some fool get disguised by some style
while the fear of a few grow up in a pile
your never gonna see me smile
now what if the ground opened up as to swallow?
would you jump in, would you follow
now what if
what if my word was so deadly
brains would explode from the medley
now what if
NOW WHAT IF!
now what if
Now what if my skin it turned green
pitch forked tongue over hauled hot like a machine
steel plated, I never waited
to pursue all I knew that I hated
now what if I grew up a thousand foot high
six million pounds, how would you classify
your comply, now would you say that I horrify
now what if some wings bust out of my back
you'll see a demon on a raging attack
now what if
what if my word was so deadly
brains would explode from the medley
now what if
NOW WHAT IF!
now what if
NOW WHAT IF!
now what if
the truth is like scraps
were you beggin for some answers
you bop, weave, and such to circumstances
I can know that beat is the job of the drummer
goin straight to hell 82 like Joe Strummer
rock the casaba, i see farm advise not a distance
a push is not a pull without resistance
now what if i were
now what if i was
NOW WHAT IF!
now what if
NOW WHAT IF!
What if I told you
that you're a lovely gal
and i'd adore you
if you'd just show me how- right now
what if i told you
things that i have inside
shoulder to cry on
someone that i confide- right now
i can't see
the life thats left in front of me
so drop me off
i can't do
the things that i was meant to
just drop me in
what if i told you
that you're a stupid whore
and i want nothing
your life is such a bore to me
what if i told you
i speak with honesty
you said yourself, girl
best things in life are free
right now, right away
i can't see
the life thats left in front of me
so drop me off
i can't do
the things that i was meant to
just drop me in
never better, never worse
never better, never worse
never better, never worse
You've been away so long, too long
What's wrong with us today
We're running out of funny things to say
Home, I'm almost glad we made it
I never thought we'd see the day.
What if now, after all
What if everything you've
Got made you want more
What if now, after all,
You've still not sure.
Remember, when a thought
Could last forever and a day.
Let's get back to
Waking up this way
Love, I'm almost glad we've made it
I never thougt we'd see the day
What if now, after all
What if everything you've
Got made you want more
What if now, after all,
You're still not sure.
But before you slip, take a friendly tip
From a friendly face on a sinking ship
Don't ever doubt it, scream and shout it out.
What if I miss you
what if today was our last
the last chance we ever had to say
would we take advantage of what we have
before it was too late to say
all this means to us (and all this means to us)
everything we have (and everything we share)
if you walk out that door never to return how could i live with myself
so many regrets that i would have to face
things i could have changed and ways i could have shown you
how much i care
why, is it so hard for us to say the things we feel inside our hearts
let's take the moments that we have and remember everyday to say
all this means to us (all this means to us)
everything we have (and everything we share)
if you walk out that door never to return how could i live with myself
so many regrets that i would have to face
things i could have changed and ways i could have shown you
how much i care
i don't want to waste our days
i don't want to forget to say
Just imagine how you feel
If you would be the one they're picking on
Would you would you be the who's gonna stand up strong
Honestly
Would you let us lie break down and cry, oh
Would you would you would you
Never let nobody step on your right
What if it was your brother sister mother father child
Then would it still be cool
Why can't you see your words are hurting
Everybody deserves to be themselves and no one else
So think before you move
What about if that was you
That would the victim (victim)
Of the critisism and they treated you that cruel
What about if that was you
That would be bullied (bullied)
How would you feel if they were doing it to you
What about if that was you
How would you would you would you feel
Honestly
How would you would you would you feel
If they were doing it to you
Just imagine how you would feel
If everybody always laughed at you
Would you would you would you
They think it's okey with me and you
If you were me
And the people 'round you were having you down now
Would you would you would you
Take a second, what if we could rewind the hood?
Better yet, what if the L.O.X. woulda signed with Suge?
What if Puffy never signed us?
What if Oprah made them comments like Imus?
What if you designed this? Thought like I did?
Said it like this, what if Peyton was fighting dogs instead of Mike Vick?
What if Arnold would just let Tookie get life?
What if B.I.G. missed the party? What if 'Pac missed the fight?
What if you was caged in? What would you change then?
What if there was no Rocafella law for 'Made Men'?
What if hate ran through me?
And what if Portland would've drafted Jordan instead of Sam Bowie?
What if you really have to be nice to get a deal?
What if all of these rappers' Ice was really real?
What if I hit you with the razor from cheek to chin?
What if Mike Jackson never would have bleached his skin?
What if you never knew things that you needed to know?
What if you never been places you needed to go?
What if you get there and learned them as you go?
What if is the question, can I ask that once more?
What if you never knew things that you needed to know?
What if you never been places you needed to go?
What if you get there and learned them as you go?
What if is the question, can I ask that once more? What if?
What if the pain went away? What if you changed in a day?
What if you can eliminate all the games people play?
What if Shyne beat the case? What if Diddy did a dime flat?
What if Nelson Mandela could give his time back?
What if Malcolm was silent? What if Martin was violent?
What if you could really sneak an Uzi on the island? Yeah
What if I made you kiss the niner?
What if a brick was only just a misdemeanor?
What if Manhattan was hit by hurricane Katrina?
What if a black man was the one controlling FEMA?
What if we ain't never let emotions come between us?
What if the last time we rode somebody seen us? What if?
What if you never knew things that you needed to know?
What if you never been places you needed to go?
What if you get there and learned them as you go?
What if is the question, can I ask that once more?
What if you never knew things that you needed to know?
What if you never been places you needed to go?
What if you get there and learned them as you go?
What if is the question, can I ask that once more? What if?
Yeah, yeah, yo, I flow calm but don't push
What if Saddam hung Bush? What if One Mike was called One Hook?
What if the Bridge never showed me how to hold a weapon?
What if I ran into that sick chick with no protection?
What if I never wore that army jacket? Car hard to match it
Unlaced tims, the hood on my first album cover under plastic?
What if I was just another corny rapper?
What if I went first instead of Notorious who would tell my story after?
What if we loved less and lust more if Obama was on Rushmore?
Would Ali give Tyson a busted jaw?
What if I never glared out the project window?
Whenever the the scared for me and the life of my kinfolk?
What if that gun pin broke?
I would have never leaned back in the Enzo
All red, what if all real niggaz was all dead?
What if Hilliary and them were reptilian?
And 2012 was the end of men and all world civilians?
What if you never knew things that you needed to know?
What if you never been places you needed to go?
What if you get there and learned them as you go?
What if is the question, can I ask that once more?
What if you never knew things that you needed to know?
What if you never been places you needed to go?
What if you get there and learned them as you go?
Sometimes, I don't understand
Feels like, I'm living in a world gone mad
Look around, all around it's just the same
People, need love everywhere
Why don't we, ever take the time to care
We're the fools
We're the losers in this game
Where is the tenderness
We've sacrificed to success
Why do some live in greed
While some die in hunger?
CHORUS:
What if everybody, what if everybody
Spoke up with one voice
What if everybody, what if everybody
Cried out with one heart
What if we could change things?
What if everybody, what if everybody
Reached out with one hand
What if everybody, what if everybody
Tried to make that stand
What if we could change things?
Somehow we're blinded and lost
Reap the gains but don't wanna pay the costs
Ain't it time
To find a way to break our chains somehow
Is there a price to pay
To make it better?
CHORUS
Deep down inside
We all want the same
We can make it better
We can make it better
If we try together
CHORUS
You know what I'm saying?
Happy
It's so nice to be happy
Everybody should be happy
It's so nice to be happy
Happy
It's so nice to be happy
It's so nice to be happy
It's so nice to be happy
I wanna take you to my world to be happy
'Cause i can't live without your love
Yes you know
I've nevere needed anyone to be happy
But that's the way that things go wrong
Yes you know
I was afraid to open my eyes
Don't even know how many tears that I've cried
Now that i've found the love of my life
I don't get down down down down down
Happy
It's so nice to be happy
Everybody should be happy
It's so nice to be happy
I've never been in love before and I'm happy
'Cause you're the one I'm looking ofr
Yes you know
You bring the sunshine into my life
Your lips are burning and the feeling is right
I can't believe it's true that you're mine
Don't let me down down down down down
Happy
It's so nice to be happy
Everybody should be happy
It's so nice to be happy
I just pray
You'll never run away
Can't wait another day
To hold you tight
To hold you tight
Happy
It's so nice to be happy
Everybody should be happy
It's so nice to be happy
Happy
It's so nice to be happy
It's so nice to be happy
It's so nice to be happy
Maybe this was meant to be
Maybe now it should be me
Been dreamin? of this forever
But I?m feelin? so confused, yeah
It?s hard to see what?s right
Between you and I
And I don?t know what to do
Oh, we?d stay together always
Is the promise we made
But suddenly it?s not so clear
And I?m being pulled both ways
And it?s breaking my heart, tearin? me apart
It?s impossible to choose
What if I don?t try? What if I do?
Everything that I?ve dreamed right in front of me
If I win what would I lose?
How could I learn to live wondering what If?
Things would never be the same, oh no
Maybe that?s the price of fame
Been waitin? for this forever
It?s close enough for me to touch
But if I don?t go for it
I might always regret
But is it worth us breaking up
Oh, we?d stay together always
Is the promise we made
But suddenly it?s not so clear
And I don?t know what to say
And it?s breaking my heart, tearin? me apart
It?s impossible to choose
What if I don?t try? What if I do?
Everything that I?ve dreamed right in front of me
If I win what would I lose?
How could I learn to live wondering?
What If I would have tried?
I could shine, even fly
I don?t wanna realize after it?s too late, no
And see it all pass me by
If I do, if I don?t
Will I ever really know
What the future could hold before it slips away?
Could be the chance of a lifetime
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
And it?s breaking my heart, tearin? me apart
It?s impossible to choose
What if I don?t try? What if I do?
Everything that I?ve dreamed right in front of me
If I win what would I lose?
How could I learn to live wondering what if?
What if you're right, and He was just another nice guy
What if you're right, what if it's true
They say the cross will only make a fool of you
And what if it's true
What if He takes his place in history
With all the prophets and the kings
Who taught us love and came in peace
But then the story ends
What then
But what if you're wrong
What if there's more
What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for
What if you jump, just close your eyes
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise
What if he's more than enough
What if it's love
What if you dig way down deeper
Than your simple minded friends
What if you dig
What if you find
A thousand more unanswered questions down inside
That's all you'd find
What if you pick apart the logic
And begin to poke the holes
What if the crown of thorns is no more than folklore
That must be told and retold
But what if you're wrong
What if there's more
What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for
What if you jump, just close your eyes
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise
What if he's more than enough
What if it's love
You've been running as fast as you can
And you've been looking for a place you can land
For so long
But what if you're wrong
What if you jump, just close you're eyes
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise
What if he's more than enough
What if it's love
What If Lyrics
if god had long hair, and a go-t,
and if his eyes were pretty glazed,
and he looked spaced out would you buy his story,
would you believe he had an eye infection?
(Course)
and yeah, yeah, god looks baked
and yeah, yeah, god smells good
and yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
what is god smoked cannabis?
hit the bong like some of us,
drove a tie-die microbus, and he subscribes to rolling stones,
if god made this place in the begging and did he grow any seeds ,
or did he put them there for Adam and Eve,
so they'd be hungry for the apple that the snake was always offering
(course)
and yeah yeah god rolls great,
and yeah yeah god smells good,
and yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah,
what if god smoked cannabis?
Do you suppose he had a buzz?
When he made the platypus,
he made it earth our home.
Does he like Perljam or the stones?
And do you think he rolls his own,
up there in heaven on the throne?
and when the saints go marching home,
I can't find the rhyme in all my reason
Lost sense of time and all seasons
Feel I've been beaten down
By the words of men who have no grounds
Can't sleep beneath the trees of wisdom
When your ax has cut the roots that feed them
Forked tongues in bitter mouths
Can drive a man to bleed from inside out
What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?
I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine
Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind
Human pride sings a vengeful song
Inspired by the times you've been walked on
My stage is shared by many millions
Who lift their hands up high because they feel this
We are one, we are strong
The more you hold us down, the more we press on
What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?
I know I can't hold my hate inside my mind
'Cause what consumes your thoughts controls your life
So I'll just ask a question, a lonely, simple question
I'll just ask one question
What if, what if, what if, what if, what if I?
What if, what if, what if, what if, what if I?
What if, what if, what if, what if, what if I?
What if, what if, what if, what if, what if I?
What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?
What if your words
Could be judged like a crime?
What if, what if, what if, what if, what if I?
What if, what if, what if, what if, what if I?
What if, what if, what if, what if, what if I?
(feat. Vera Ostrova)
What if I...got right into
My mind's velocity
What if I...finally discovered
The rules of Eternity
What if I tell you
What we live for...what we die for
What if I tell you
That you will be born again
What if I tell you
What we live for...what we die for
What if I tell you
That you will be born again...and you will do
it all over agin
Will you stop running? Will you stop hiding?
and looking for material things
Will you start searching...will you start seeking for
Shawn Desman - What If
(Back For More - 2005)
What if I said I'm sorry.
What if I said yes instead of maybe.
If I would have listened just a little bit,
Could you still be here.
(Verse 1)
I hope you got my letter, it's been such a long time.
Cause in it I said things I never said before, before.
I'm doing so much better, but still wondering why,
You left me here, don't know where you are no more (no no no).
(Chorus)
What if I said I'm sorry.
What if I said yes instead of maybe.
If I would have listened just a little bit,
Could you still be here.
Never got to say goodbye to you.
And it don't matter what I do now,
I always wonder, what if?
Yea yea I wonder what if? no no no
(Verse 2)
Thought everything was alright, but I guess I was wrong (I guess that I was wrong).
Wish that I could see what was going through your mind.
Baby wasn't I good to you, if I wasn't, wish that I knew.
Cause I wanted you to be the real thing.
Thought you were the real thing, yeah.
(Chorus)
What if I said I'm sorry.
What if I said yes instead of maybe.
If I would have listened just a little bit,
Could you still be here.
Never got to say goodbye to you.
And it don't matter what I do now,
I always wonder, what if?
Yea yea I wonder what if? Oh no no no
Wonder if I crossed your mind.
Don't you think about me sometimes.
Oh where are you now?
(Chorus x2 + Adlibs)
What if I said I'm sorry.
What if I said yes instead of maybe.
If I would have listened just a little bit,
Could you still be here.
Never got to say goodbye to you.
And it don't matter what I do now,
I always wonder, what if?
Would you still be here, tell me would you still be here.
(Ooh I miss you so much)
Would you still be here, tell me would you still be here.
(If I listened to you)
Would you still be here, tell me would you still be here.
(Would you still be here with me)
Yeah oh baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah baby
Listen
Yeah Woah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Woah)
Yeah ooh Baby
Everyday was the same old thing
Waking up out of bed
Put my shoes on,
Off to work
Just tryna get ahead
Jumped into my ride
To avoid the lights
Girl I took a different way
Corner of white hart lane
You were passing by
That's when I saw your face
Girl
What if I never got your name?
Where wud I be right now
What if I wud have changed my place
I wud have been missing out
On all we've been through
Oh, oh
What if I never met you?
Don't know wot I do
Oh, oh
What if I never met you?
Got so much to lose
Oh, oh
What if I never met you?
Baby I cant help thinking it
What if
Now looking back
I'm wondering
What if my alarm didn't ring?
It wud be another girl
Riding next to me
For true love I'd still be searching
Scary to think
Just a second late
We wud have never met
The time it was right
Fate was on our side
I'm so glad the lights were red
It's amazing
How it all happened
Feels like every move I made
Caused that chain reaction
Who wud have thought
Crusin down that avenue
Wud change my life forever
Lead me right next to you
What if I never made
Oh, oh, oh, oh
What if I never
What if we never
Mm mm mm mmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm somebody bayyyy ooohohoooooo aw baby what if

Dont be mad but I still gotta ask,
Baby
I would give up everything I dont care about money
My life dont mean a thing not unless your a part of it
Girl I know for sure that your the only one I need
What if we were made for each otherBorn to become best friends and loversI want to stay right hereIn this moment with youOver and over and over again
What if this could be a real loveA love, a love, yeahI don't know what to thinkIs this real or just a dreamIn my heart is where you'll beI'll keep waiting till we meet
What if were made for each otherBorn to become best friends and loversI want to stay right hereIn this moment with you
Over and over and over againWhat if this could be a real loveA love, a love, yeahI write our names down in the sand
Picturing all our plansI close my eyes and I can seeYou, and you ask, "Will you marry me?"
Is it made up in my mind?Am I crazy just wasting time?I think this could be love, I'm serious
What if we were made for each otherBorn to become best friends and loversI want to stay right hereIn this moment with youOver and over and over again
What if this could be a real loveA love, a love, yeahBoy, you know you reallyMake my heart stop, stop, stop
I could go and ask her first.
You could try, but it won't work.
I don't want my cover blown.
I should do this on my own.
And the night has gone
And I'm walking home
But I still don't;
I still don't know,
And the night has gone,
And I'm walking home.
But I still don't.
I still don't know.
If only,
One of us
Had the guts tonight.
It's so hard to find the silent type.
Someone shy who won't spread the hype.
Your so cold; your in this crowd.
I am on my way now,
And the night has gone,
And I'm walking home.
But I still don't;
I still don't know,
And the night has gone,
And I'm walking home.
But I still don't.
I still don't know.
If only,
One of us
Had the guts tonight.
What if,
One of us
Marilyn broke the heart of Joe D'maggio
oh where'd that horse and carriage go?
In the castle I'll build for you
on an island meant just for two
would it be just stuck around
what if all that's lost was found
what if I could be, the only one that she'd ever dream of
If I were some movie star
with some big expensive car
at some big first night premiere
with Ben Affleck and Richard Gere
would you give me just one look
if I wrote some obscure book
would you give me just one chance
in some other circumstance
Someone like me, deserves someone like you
lalalalalalalala
Played a part of Joe D'maggio
oh where'd that horse and carriage go?
In the castle I'll build for you
on an island meant just for two
would it be just stuck around
what if all that's lost was found
what if I could be, the only one that she'd ever dream of
If I was the great Houdini
granting wishes like a geni
If I were some big tough guy
who went to Mars and made you cry
told you lie couse they say
nice guys will lose anyway
In some other circumstance
would you give me just one chance?
Someone like me, deserves someone like you
lalalalalalalala
Played a part of Joe D'maggio
oh where'd that horse and carriage go?
Or the castle I'll build for you
on an island meant just for two
would it be just stuck around
what if all that's lost was found
what if I could be, the only one that she'd ever dream of
What if I (What if I was the only one)
what if I was the only one
If I were a super hero
a good fella like De'niro
if I could face all my fears
and dated girls like Britney Spears
wore black leather on a Harley
in Jamaica like Bob Marley
in some other circumstance
would you give me just one chance?
Played a part of Joe D'maggio
oh where'd that horse and carriage go?
Or the castle I'll build for you
on an island meant just for two
would it be just stuck around
what if all that's lost was found
what if I could be, the only one that she'd ever dream of
Played a part of Joe D'maggio
oh where'd that horse and carriage go?
Or the castle I'll build for you
on an island meant just for two
would it be just stuck around
what if all that's lost was found
Hold my head up, spin me 'round
Hold my head up, spin me 'round
Fill my head with silence
Till I'm over you and gone
There's no ending now you're here
Take me far away from me
Fill my head with silence
Till I'm over you and gone
So what if my heart won't wait
What if tonight I stayed?
Oh, what if I stayed here?
What if your arms would hold me for life?
What if you didn't need me?
Oh, what if I stayed here?
Hold my head up, spin me 'round
Hold me up until I'm found
And fill my head with silence
Till I'm over you again
So what if tonight I sailed away
What if I gave my life away
And what if I stumbled home
Oh, what if I stayed here?
What if my life came tumbling down
And what if you didn't see me?
Stand tall, head and shoulders down
They don't make 'em like us anymore
You failed to see that I am not your shadow
I can be more
You said the world is hard to face
I am your umbrella, Megan
But I can keep up with its pace
If you let me go
I was running to see you down the line
What if I've built up what was mine?
What if I didn't forget passion like you did?
What if I find my purpose first?
What if I fulfill my life's work?
What if you counting on my failure made me live?
What if you?
Not scared, I know you thought
I was shaking fast in my own two shoes
But these soles could fight the ocean waves
Dirty laundry, and World War II
Finally I see past my front hands
Not a coward's pissed-stained pants
Thank you for telling me I can't
Without you, I wouldn't be where I am
What if I see you down the line?
What if I took back my lost time?
What if I didn't forget passion like you did?
What if I find my purpose first?
What if I fulfill my life's work?
What if you counting on my failure made me live?
What if you?
If you see me again
You won't know my face
But you'll recall my hurt
Inside of me, a side of you is placed
When I see you again, I won't be bitter
You're so far to blame
You're part of this change
I am so much of you
I won't ever be the same
What if I see you down the line?
What I took back what was mine?
What if I didn't forget passion like you did?
What if I find my purpose first?
What if I fulfill my life's work?
What if you counting on my failure made me live?
What if you counting on my failure made me live?
Boxed in, feel small, four walls closin' in again
Just like clockwork, ahhhah
On a line, too long, hung out, dryer than the desert sand
And I just don't feel like
The stars are aligned, the world is mine
The time is right, but what if
Yeah what if that is that
Chorus:
One day, the one that you always say
If it never came along
You'd never let it get away
Just like a last dance
There's never a second chance
To hold on (hold on), so hold on
What if this is that one day
It's so hard to see dreams you're building
Crashing down fast just like dominoes, ahhhah
Can't hide on roof tops from raindrops
So spread your wings, soak it up
Before it gets too late and
It's easier to quit the game and hide your pain
But what if, yeah what if this is that
Chorus
Oh you never know, oh you never know, oh you never know
No you never really know, what if, what if, what if, yeah what if this is that
Couldn't move a mountain but, what if
Couldn't be an angel nor a goddess
There's so many stories we'd love to believe
But all I ever can be is me
There's a devil inside us all
But I believe in the beautiful
We can't change today
Undo yesterday
Make it go away
But what if
When tommorow comes
We could be the ones
Who make miracles
What if
Saw you on the news today, crying
I just wanna turn you off, keep denying
Waiting for a wind to change to pull me right in
And while I'm waiting you're under my skin
We can't change today
Undo yesterday
Make it go away
But what if
When tommorow comes
We could be the ones
Who make miracles
What if
There's a devil inside us all
I still believe in the beautiful
(what if)
(what if)
We can't change today
Undo yesterday
Make it go away
But what if
When tommorow comes
We could be the ones
Who make miracles
What if
(2x)
We can't change today
Undo yesterday
Make it go away
But what if
Couldn't save the world today...
what if I'll touch you
what if you like the way it feels
what if I'll tell you
what should never be revealed
And imagination start running wild
like the innocence of a little child
and my lips are pourtered in a necker smile
like a water
pouring down upon my face
and I'm drown more with every taste
and there is no escape
I can't catch my breath
what if it happens
what if we both loose our control
what if we taste it
to a place we loose our souls
what if, what if, what if ...
what if we do it
what if we go and cross that line
what if we choose it
we don't once we have behind
And our mind connect and our bodies swiss
and we're giving to walk we can resist
and our passion screams for every kiss
like a fire
running through our basing cray
the danger of choising brain
that we can earase
that's no journey back
what if it happens
what if we both loose our control
what if we taste it
to a place we loose our souls
what if we make it
what if we're walking through that place
what if it happens
and we ever, ever, ever be the same
And imagination start running wild
like the innocence of a little child
and my lips are pourtered in a necker smile
like a water
pouring down upon my face
and I'm drown more with every taste
and there is no escape
I can't catch my breath
what if it happens
what if we both loose our control
what if we taste this
to a place we loose our souls
what if we make it
what if we're walking through that place
what if it happens
and we ever, ever, ever, ever be the same, yeah
how we will ever be the same
whatever play your game
what if
Everything we have
Is exactly what it seems
No use to add it up
Arms won't reach for it
Legs won't run to it
What if, and much to much
Now that you've sold the prize
What's left to compromise again
Bold words on a megaphone
Barbed wire everywhere we turn
Vampire at a one alarm fire
She takes a seat right beside you
If it's in your heart
Eyes not imagery
What we use to view the world
How we choose to view ourselves
Arms won't reach for it
Legs won't run to it
What if you've lost the touch,
What if I don't wanna move on
If I like it as it is
Wanna keep it like this, for a while... forever
Just let me lie close to you
Don't wanna let you go, don't wanna let you go
If I said I want you, if I said I need you
If I said I love you, what would you do
If I said I want you, if I said I need you
If I said I love you, what would you do
What if I don't wanna forget
Don't want anyone but you
Believe me, it's true, for a while... forever
Just let me stay here with you
I don't wanna leave, I don't wanna leave
If I said I want you, if I said I need you
If I said I love you, what would you do
If I said I want you, if I said I need you
If I said I love you, what would you do
And I thought I could, let this go
I thought I would, but now I know
Now I know...
If I said I want you, if I said I need you
If I said I love you, what would you do
If I said I want you, if I said I need you
Verse I
Life would be unsafe, probably be erased
Joy would be refrained and more would be unchanged
If He said no to favor if He said no to grace
For my eyes would know no happiness to show
Refrain
What if He said no, my life wouldn't have a chance
What if He said no, and took away His hand
What if He said no to healings and blessings and miracles, so I'm grateful, He didn't say no
Verse II
Peace would be a mystery, pain would go on for eternity
Hope would fade away, storms wouldn't pass they'd stay
If He said no to protection, if He said no to compassion
For my heart wouldn't know no happiness to show
Refrain
What if He said no, my life wouldn't have a chance
What if He said no, and took away His hand
What if He said no to healings and blessings and miracles, so I'm grateful, He didn't say no
Vamp
Many times we take for granted the little things, the air we breathe, but say what you want it's mercy that's renewed every morning,I never would have made it through some nights or days if You didn't make a way
When You say yes when I waver oh my Saviour, I couldn't go if You said no to saving my Soul oh oh oh;
Ending
What if He said no, my life wouldn't have a chance
What if He said no, and took away His hand
Merlin, Joan of Ark, Joe D'maggio
don't know where'd that horse and carriage go?
In the castle I'll build for you
on an island meant just for two
would it be best luck around
what if all that's lost was found
what if I could be, the only one that she'd ever dream of
If I were some movie star
with some big expensive car
at some big first night premiere
with Ben Affleck and Richard Gere
would you give me just one look
if I wrote some obscure book
would you give me just one chance
in some other circumstance
Someone like me, deserves someone like you
lalalalalalalala
Merlin, Joan of Ark, Joe D'maggio
don't know where'd that horse and carriage go?
In the castle I'll build for you
on an island meant just for two
would it be just stuck around
what if all that's lost was found
what if I could be, the only one that she'd ever dream of
If I was the great Houdini
granting wishes like a geni
If I were some big tough guy
who went to Mars and made you cry
told you lies cause they say
nice guys will lose anyway
In some other circumstance
would you give me just one chance?
Someone like me, deserves someone like you
lalalalalalalala
Merlin, Joan of Ark, Joe D'maggio
don't know where that horse and carriage go?
Or the castle I'll build for you
on an island meant just for two
would it be just stuck around
what if all that's lost was found
what if I could be, the only one that she'd ever dream of
What if I (What if I was the only one)
what if I was the only one
If I were a super hero
a good fella like De'niro
if I could face all my fears
and dated girls like Britney Spears
wore black leather on a Harley
from Jamaica like Bob Marley
in some other circumstance
would you give me just one chance?
Merlin, Joan of Ark, Joe D'maggio
don't know where that horse and carriage go?
Or the castle I'll build for you
on an island meant just for two
would it be just stuck around
what if all that's lost was found
what if I could be, the only one that she'd ever dream of
Merlin, Joan of Ark, Joe D'maggio
don't know where that horse and carriage go?
Or the castle I'll build for you
on an island meant just for two
would it be just stuck around
what if all that's lost was found
what if I could be, the only one that she'd ever dream of
What if I climbed that mountain, what if I swam to that shore
What if every battle was victorious then would you love me more
Would you love me more
What if I were everyone's first choice, what if I went farther than before
What if I stood high above the rest than would you love me more
Would you love me more
You say I belong to you apart from the things I do
You say I belong to you I'm in awe of why you do
Why you do, why you do, I'm in awe of you, ooh
What if I ignored the hand that fed me, what if I forgot to confess
What if I stumbled down that mountain then would you love me less
Lord would you love me less
What if I were everyones last choice what if I mixed in with the rest
What if I failed what I passed before then would you love me less
Lord would you would you love me less, oh no oh no oh no
You say I belong to you apart from the things I do
You say I belong to you I'm in awe of why you do
You do you do you do
What have I done to deserve your son sent to die for me
What can I give I want to live give me eyes to see
In a world that keeps changin' there's one thing that I know is true
Your love is stayin' there's nothing else I'll hold onto
You say I belong to you apart from the things I do
You say I belong to you I'm in awe of why you do
Why you do
You say I belong to you apart from the things I do
You say I belong to you I'm in awe of why you do
I'm in awe of you I'm in awe of you
The way you love me, the way you do
The way you do , the way you love me, you love me , you love me
The way you do the way you do the way you love me,
Can you open minds
Start revolutions,
Break new ground?
Can you change the world,
Do you believe in something profound?
Is it naive to visualize,
Utopia before our eyes?
What if we could turn the tide,
Flip the planet on its side,
Move a mountain if we tried
What if we could do
Whatever we believed,
What if we could?
Will you fight the power,
Look in the eyes
Of hate and suppression?
Will you stand-alone
For your convictions
And your obsessions?
Is it too much to ask for more,
Isn't that what we came for?
What if there was no disease,
No addictions, no enemies
What if everyone was free,
What if we could have
Whatever we believed
What if we could?
It's all a lie
The reasons why
It's do or die
This time
[Solo]
Is it naive to visualize,
Utopia before our eyes?
What if we could turn the tide,
Flip the planet on its side,
Move a mountain if we tried
What if we
Could do whatever we believed?
Oh yeah!
What if there was peace tonight,
Not a bomb within our sight,
Just a sea of candlelight
What if we could have
Whatever we believed,
La la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la ooh...

What I feel, what I feel, is not supposed to feel this way, hey
And your kiss it sends me high
That temptation's hard to fight
I feel the lost, you feel it too?
Now can you please explain
[Chorus]
What if, I'd dare and look at you that way?
Id't still feel the way,
Would you, would you say hello to me
Or was this just meant to be, your love, whoa,
To be your love, whoa, to be your love, whoa
Or was this just meant to be, your love, whoa,
To be your love, whoa, to be your love, whoa
To be, to be, to be
People say I'm insane, it's the way that we play
, games,
What if things change
What if you never cross my way?
And your kiss it sends me high
That temptation's hard to fight
I feel the lost, you feel it too?
Now can you please explain
[Chorus]
What if, I'd dare and look at you that way?
Id't still feel the way,
Would you, would you say hello to me
Or was this just meant to be, your love, whoa,
To be your love, whoa, to be your love, whoa
Or was this just meant to be, your love, whoa,
To be your love, whoa, to be your love, whoa
To be, to be, to be
I know, I know , you never like
I know, I know that something feels so right
Is it,these things that I feel
Is it dream that becomes so real
And I like that, let's go with it from now
How far you wanna go?
Now can you please explain
[Chorus]
What if, I'd dare and look at you that way?
Id't still feel the way,
Would you, would you say hello to me
Or was this just meant to be, your love, whoa,
To be your love, whoa, to be your love, whoa
Or was this just meant to be, your love, whoa,
To be your love, whoa, to be your love, whoa
What if Hip Hop was never born, yo?
No Herc, No Flash, No Band, No Change, yo (?)
No DJ's, No grab, No breakers, No MC
What would the state of dope world truly be?
No throw your hands, no screaming, no noise no DJ's cutting
No B-Boys, no B-Girls, No Grafitti, No nothing
If Hip Hop was never born? let me make this clear
just a thought if it (?)
It's not about a salery it's all about reality,
And Hip Hop is the reality that creates all these saleries.
HIP HOP, HIP HOP, HIP HOP
It's in the academies,
hauled from the streets of the hood every family
But what if Hip Hop didn't exist?
There wouldn't be this, there wouldn't be Chris,
Or a Public Enemy with a black power fist.
No Queen Latifa, no Will Smith either,
There would only be tight jeans, tight suits and black sneakers.
No Tango hats either, no bandana headdress, no TV's in the headrest
Who would be a big mess, trust me
drew it, without rap I'd be saying this here in country music.
We be no stars, imagine B-Boying over acoustic guitars,
Not the sixteen bars.
FEEL ME!
The art of sampling as well as cutting and scratching.
It's all ours.
But really think about it.
FEEL ME!
What if Hip Hop was never born, yo?
No Herc, No Flash, No Band, No Change, yo (?)
No DJ's, No grab, No breakers, No MC
What would the state of dope world truly be?
No throw your hands, no screaming, no noise no DJ's cutting
No B-Boys, no B-Girls, No Grafitti, No nothing
What if Hip Hop was never born? let me make this clear
just a thought if it (?)
So what if Hip Hop was never born?
Never (?)
Never forever wrong,
Never criticing our songs?
What if Hip Hop was never here?
Never that flavour in your ear,
Never that thing that make you want to say OH YEAH!
No street millionaires, no billionaires.
No Russell, No Diddy, No Wayne, No Chamillionaire
Let me get this clear, today you have a real choice,
Because of Hip Hops existance you have a real voice.
But what if Hip Hop never came around to the boogie down,
Never touched Herc and it touched another sound.
You wouldn't know about James Brown, Pull in the Funkdelic, the radio and still have a play in the sound. (?)
It's like wearing the same gown as a model,
stepping off the runway and go eat out at McDonalds.
We was the models, and society was McDonalds
Comnplete with a presidential clown, McRonald.
But really...
What if Hip Hop was never born, yo?
No Herc, No Flash, No Band, No Change, yo (?)
No DJ's, No grab, No breakers, No MC
What would the state of dope world truly be?
No throw your hands, no screaming, no noise no DJ's cutting
No B-Boys, no B-Girls, No Grafitti, No nothing
What if Hip Hop was never born?
Let me make this clear,
just a thoughtif it(?)
Now that would be something
No scratching, no cutting
Now Listen,
No cars driving by with the boomin' systems,
No prison coz non of us would be in 'em,
No one would be advertisng that rap to our children.
Sure there be murder, and thugs and drugs
But they be on the low, and hardly heard of,
except if you watch the news.
See,
If there was no Hip Hop in society,
then there would be fewer alternative views.
See we not about to lose.
Real Hip Hop, is like real estate,
It's never going to move.
I'd be singing the Blues literally,
If I didn't acknowledge and cultivate the Hip Hop living in ME!
So what's It going to be I ask!
Hip Hop wasn't even supposed to last
So I gotta laugh when I look at Flash!
Yeah Grandmaster Flash is on the tracks,
But where would we be without the cut and the scratch?
SO I ask!
What if Hip Hop was never born, yo?
No Herc, No Flash, No Band, No Change, yo (?)
No DJ's, No grab, No breakers, No MC
What would the state of dope world truly be?
No throw your hands, no screaming, no noise no DJ's cutting
No B-Boys, no B-Girls, No Grafitti, No nothing
What if Hip Hop was never born? let me make this clear
Would a black man let you hunger?
Would a muslim even plunder?
Would all indians kill my trees?
Would polar bears make my land smaller?
Would a child mortcage my future?
Would a lake refuse my right to breathe?
If we exchanged the roles and turned the whole
What if we cared?
What if we were prepared?
Wouldn't al the pain vanish into thin air?
What if we strained. We could part from every chain?
Would a paradise be a guide of life?
Would a fish go angling mankind?
Would spider tread us down?
Would a coral bank drill for oil?
Would a whale eat you for sex drive?
Would a pig fatten you?
Would elephants and tigers cage you up?
What if I were a liar with the most amazing stories ever heard?
What if I was a robber taking things that I did not earn?
What if I was a killer that thought nothing of taking another life?
What if I was suicidal and the only life I wanna take is mine
Would he love me, and would he forgive me, would he save me, and dare to
Use me?
What if I had a baby that I didn't allow to come into the world?
And what if I'm confused about whether I'm a boy or a girl
What if I took a husband away from his wife and his child?
What if I said before I didn't believe in God anyhow?
Would he love me, would he forgive me, would he save me oh yea, and dare to
Use me?
Oh Ooo Oh Ooo Oh Ooo Ooo Ooo
: Chorus:
I don't know everything
But this one thing I'm sure of
The blood of Jesus can make any sinner pure
Yes he loves you, yes he'll forgive you, yes he'll save you, he'll even use
Oh ooo Oh ooo oh Hooo
Yes he loves you (With unconditional love)
He will forgive you (No matter where you've been or what you've done Oh)
He will save you (My God is mighty to save)
He'll even use you (I'm a living witness yea)
Oooohh Oooo
(What can wash)
(Away my sins)
He will forgive you
(Nothing but the blood of Jesus)
(Hey)
(What can make)
(Me whole again)
And he will save you
(Nothing but the blood- nothing but the Blood of Jesus)
I can't find the rhyme in all my reason
I've lost sense of time and all seasons
I feel I've been beaten down
By the words of men who have no grounds
I can't sleep beneath the trees of wisdom
When your ax has cut the roots that feed them
Forked tongues in bitter mouths
Can drive a man to bleed from inside out
What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?
I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine
Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind
Human pride sings a vengeful song
Inspired by the times you've been walked on
My stage is shared by many millions
Who lift their hands up high because they feel this
We are one We are strong
The more you hold us down the more we press on
What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?
I know I can't hold the hate inside my mind
'Cause what consumes your thoughts controls your life
So I'll just ask a question
What if?
What if your words could be judged like a crime?
What if i was a cheerleader
What if i was the girl next door
What if i was a rock star
What if i was something more
What if i was an astronaut
What if i was stuck on the ground
What if i was the president
What if what if
What if what if doesn't matter
What if what if doesn't matter
With your love i can be anything
What if what if doesn't matter
What if what if doesn't matter
With your love i can be anything
What if i was a big time flim star
What if i ran a restaurant
What if i found a cure for cancer
What if i got everything i want
What if i was a fashion model
What if i was a scientist
What if i was a super bowl quarterback
What if i had none of this
What if what if doesn't matter
What if what if doesn't matter
With your love i can be anything
What if what if doesn't matter
What if what if doesn't matter
With your love i can be anything
I think there's too many questions
Of how what we're supposed to be
I think there's just too much pressure
What if somehow everyone could see
What if what if doesn't matter oh oh
What if what if doesn't matter
What if what if doesn't matter
What if we could let the whole world see that
What if what if doesn't matter
What if what if doesn't matter
With your love i can be anything
What if what if doesn't matter
What if what if doesn't matter
With your love i can be anything
What if what if doesn't matter
What if what if doesn't matter
With your love i can be anything
What if what if doesn't matter
What if what if doesn't matter
Water is getting into my arch diming out lights - until dark
thought my construction was tight thought what I built up might stand the flood
stand the flood phrases bearing a questionmark are trying to board my barque
again I start thinking what could have been what might have been
if I made up my mind in a different way what could have been
if I made you stay again I start thinking what do they mean
what do they mean all these words like "but" and "if" haunting my brain
what does it mean when all the doubts come up again
remembering me: what should have been what could have been
what if I've followed my vision what if I've sat on the fence
if I took a different decision if I felt a change of sense
too many things I can't change too many setups I can't rearrange
too many unknown lamentos I'm singing of key should I've thought of myself
or of the pain inside climbing up the ladder I was put out of the stride
should I've tried harder banish my doubts! What do they mean
these words like "faith" and "love" bereft of their meaning
when push comes to shove what might have been
if I made up my mind in a different way what might have been
See, I knew from the jump that
I was rotten to the core so
Naturally I knew you'd pull back
You made it clear that you wanted more
So I attempted to please ya
But my feelings go deeper
Then it all came to a stop
Because of a few heartless words we said
It's like me and you didn't even try
We just said goodbye
We let this love here die
And never looked back
In my mind, I'm still questioning why
Promises turn to lies
Feelings bottled inside
When the truth be told I
I'm still wondering
What if, what if, what if we would've worked out?
I believe we could've worked out
If we worked a little harder
Still imagining
What if, what if, what if we would've worked out?
I believe we could've worked out
Worked a little harder
Yeah, if we worked a little harder
See, I was looking for a reason
To believe that love could work
So I hope that you would be there
That's the reason why it still hurts
Now it's for you that I'm yearning
Wish I could reverse our season turning
It's this lesson I'm tired of learning
Girl, it's killing me to know
It's like me and you didn't even try
We just said goodbye
We let this love here die
And never we looked back
In my mind, I'm still questioning why
Promises turn to lies
Feelings bottled inside
When the truth be told I
I'm still wondering
What if, what if, what if we would've worked out?
I believe we could've worked out, baby
If we worked a little harder
Still imagining
What if, what if, what if we would've worked out?
I believe we could've worked out, baby
Worked a little harder
I believe that we share the blame
For things being this way
If mutually we wanna change
I know, we've got the potential
And we can work out our issues
I'm still wondering
What if, what if, what if we would've worked out?
I believe we could've worked out
If we worked a little harder
Still imagining
What if, what if, what if we would've worked out?
I believe we could've worked out
If we worked a little harder
I'm still wondering
What if, what if, what if we would've worked out?
I believe we could've worked out
If we worked a little harder
Still imagining
What if, what if, what if we would've worked out?
I believe we could've worked out
A little more time, a little more patience
A little more respect
That's all it would've taken for us
You're telling me a lie
A little more effort will make the world
A little more time, a little more patience
A little more respect
You're telling me a lie
A little more effort will make the world
What if, what if, what if?
Just imagine how you feel
If you would be the one they're picking on
Would you would you be the who's gonna stand up strong
Honestly
Would you let us lie break down and cry, oh
Would you would you would you
Never let nobody step on your right
What if it was your brother sister mother father child
Then would it still be cool
Why can't you see your words are hurting
Everybody deserves to be themselves and no one else
So think before you move
What about if that was you
That would the victim (victim)
Of the critisism and they treated you that cruel
What about if that was you
That would be bullied (bullied)
How would you feel if they were doing it to you
What about if that was you
How would you would you would you feel
Honestly
How would you would you would you feel
If they were doing it to you
Just imagine how you would feel
If everybody always laughed at you
Would you would you would you
They think it's okey with me and you
If you were me
And the people 'round you were having you down now
Would you would you would you
It looks like this is gonna be the day and age what all the blind shall see
Because there will come a day when all this will happen finally
But I will need a hand to understand my place in this
And yes it´ll take some time to understand what place this is
What if I´m right and you´re wrong and GOD speaks to us right through this song
What if heaven is near, heaven is here, heaven is clear
What if GOD is alive and he can arrive right in your life
What if, what if, what if
It looks like this is gonna be the day and age what all the blind shall see
Because there will come a day when all this will happen finally
But I will need a hand to understand my place in this
And yes it´ll take some time to understand what place this is
What if I´m right and you´re wrong and GOD speaks to us right through this song
What if heaven is near, heaven is here, heaven is clear
What if GOD is alive and he can arrive right in your life
What if, what if, what if
Now look at the plan from the master man
If you don´t understand he can
If you only believe and expect what is meant to be
What is incredible, receive what is impossible
Move the unmoveable cause love can conquer anything
What if I´m right and you´re wrong and GOD speaks to us right through this song
What if heaven is near, heaven is here, heaven is clear
What if GOD is alive and he can arrive right in your life
What if, what if, what if
Was is wenn jedes Wort auf der Platte stimmt, zutrifft, jeder einzelne Buchstabe im Heiligen Buch
stimmt nuttin'but the truth is, wär dein Leben nicht totally useless? Du findest die truth nicht es sei
denn du suchst sie. was ist wenn wir dir sagen was die Wut stillt, was ist wenn wir dir verraten daß
Jesus für dich sein Blut gibt. Wer brauch Beweise wir sind new christs on the block unser proof bist
du Christ, wenn die augen zu sind
What if I´m right and you´re wrong and GOD speaks to us right through this song
What if heaven is near, heaven is here, heaven is clear
What if GOD is alive and he can arrive right in your life
What if, what if, what if
Yes you are free to believe what you can see
Can you see love, can you see air
How would it be to live without love
Could you live easily
In perfect harmony
What if I´m right and you´re wrong and GOD speaks to us right through this song
What if heaven is near, heaven is here, heaven is clear
What if GOD is alive and he can arrive right in your life
What if, what if, what if

CHORUS
What if it's you that I want
You that I need
Just tell me what I shoud do
So I can finally get my hands on you
I know you have just what it takes
To satisfy my crave
When your eyes meet mine
Something happens I can't explain
A sudden feeling of desire coming over me
This physical attraction knocks me off my feet
You seduce me
You confuse me
I'm waiting 'till you'll make your move
Don't you need me like I need you
I don't know what to do
CHORUS (3x)
What if it's you that I want
You that I need
Just tell me what I shoud do
So I can finally get my hands on you
Your lips touched mine and the ground disappeared
From underneath my feet
I never imagined our hands would fit so perfectly
I'm feeling kind of strange
Like nothing I've ever felt before
Could I be that much in love
It makes my body soar
You seduce me you
Confuse me
I'm waiting 'till you make your move
Don't you need me
Like I need you
I don't know what to do
CHORUS (3x)
What if it's youthat I want
You that I need
Just tell me what I should do
You say you’ve heard this all before
And you can’t take the lies anymore
But baby before you walk out the door
I won’t make you cry, make you cry anymore(Chorus)
What if I’m right, what if I’m really gonna love you all my life
What if a brand new me is standing here tonight
Would you take my hand and give me one more chance
What if you’re wrong
Baby this ain’t just the same ole sad love song
And I just wanna hold you all night long
Oh baby, what if I’m right and you’re wrong
My jealousy is no longer
This time I’m much stronger
Then the man I used to be
Don’t turn your back on me
I just wanna kiss your face
I swear I’ve changed my ways
Oh baby, please please stay
(Chorus)
What if I’m right, what if I’m really gonna love you all my life
What if a brand new me is standing here tonight
Would you take my hand and give me one more chance
What if you’re wrong
Baby this ain’t just the same ole sad love song
And I just wanna hold you all night long
Oh baby, what if I’m right and you’re wrong
What if I were a liar with the most amazing stories ever heard?
What if I was a robber taking things that I did not earn?
What if I was a killer that thought nothing of taking another life?
What if I was suicidal and the only life I wanna take is mine
Would he love me, and would he forgive me, would he save me, and dare to
Use me?
What if I had a baby that I didn't allow to come into the world?
And what if I'm confused about whether I'm a boy or a girl
What if I took a husband away from his wife and his child?
What if I said before I didn't believe in God anyhow?
Would he love me, would he forgive me, would he save me oh yea, and dare to
Use me?
Oh Ooo Oh Ooo Oh Ooo Ooo Ooo
::Chorus::
I don't know everything
But this one thing I'm sure of
The blood of Jesus can make any sinner pure
Yes he loves you, yes he'll forgive you, yes he'll save you, he'll even use
Oh ooo Oh ooo oh Hooo
Yes he loves you (With unconditional love)
He will forgive you (No matter where you've been or what you've done Oh)
He will save you (My God is mighty to save)
He'll even use you (I'm a living witness yea)
Oooohh Oooo
(What can wash)
(Away my sins)
He will forgive you
(Nothing but the blood of Jesus)
(Hey)
(What can make)
(Me whole again)
And he will save you
(Nothing but the blood- nothing but the Blood of Jesus)
What if the sun never rose again
What if the sky turn from blue to red
What if the love we once had was never there
What if you told me you loved me but you didn't really care
I'll be missing the long walks with you in the rain
Until I remember all the pain
There's nothing to live for with you anyway
I couldn't take another day
But what if I'm wrong
There won't be anyone, not anyone
Won't be anyone's lips to kiss good night
I'll be wishing I was there to hear you cry
But what if I'm wrong
There won't be anyone, not anyone
I'll be left all alone to wonder why
I'll be wishing that I never said goodbye
What if
What if I knew what could have bee
What if you said you were sorry, then
Would it make a difference
'Cause you don't change you keep blowing all your chances
And if I left would you come to your senses
'Cause I'm gonna turn and walk away
I'll be missing the long walks with you in the rain
Until I remember all the pain
There's nothing to live for with you anyway
I couldn't take another day
But what if I'm wrong
There won't be anyone, not anyone
Won't be anyone's lips to kiss good night
I'll be wishing I was there to hear you cry
But what if I'm wrong
There won't be anyone, not anyone
I'll be left all alone to wonder why
I'll be wishing that I never said goodbye
What if
What if
What if
What
I'll be missing the long walks with you in the rain
Until I remember all the pain
There is nothing to live for with you anyway
But what if I'm wrong
What if I'm wrong
But what if I'm wrong
There won't be anyone, not anyone
Won't be anyone's lips to kiss good night
I'll be wishing I was there to hear you cry
But what if I'm wrong
There won't be anyone, not anyone
I'll be left all alone to wonder why
I'll be wishing that I never said goodbye
Maybe this was meant to be.
Maybe now it should be me.
Been dreaming of this forever.
But I'm feeling so confused.
Yeah, It's hard to see who's right.
Is it you or I.
And I don't know what to do.
[Chorus:]
Oooh. We'll stay together always thats the promise we made.
But suddenly it's not so clear.
And I'm being pulled both ways.
And it's breaking my heart, tearing me apart.
It's impossible to choose.
What if I don't try,
What if I do.
Everything that I've dreamed right in front of me.
If I win I'm going to lose.
How could I learn to live wondering what if.
Ooooh ooh. Things will never be the same.
Noo noo, maybe thats the price of fame.
Been waiting for this forever.
It's close enough for me to touch.
But if I don't go for it, I might always regret.
But is it worth us breaking up.
[Chorus:]
Oooh. We'll stay together always is the promise we made.
But suddenly it's not so clear.
And I'm being pulled both ways.
And it's breaking my heart, tearing me apart.
It's impossible to choose.
What if I don't try,
What if I do.
Everything that I've dreamed right in front of me.
If I win I'm going to loose.
How can I learn to live with wondering,
What if I would have tried, I could shine even fly
I don't want to realize after its too late nooo ooh, and see it all pass
Me by, If I could, if I don't, will I ever really know, what the future could hold, before it slips away.
Could be the chance of a lifetime.
And it's breaking my heart, tearing me apart, its impossible to choose, what if I don't try, what if I do.
Every dream that I dream, right in front of me.
If I win, I'm going to lose.
How could I learn to, live wondering what if.
What if we wouldn't do those primary choices?
What if we wouldn't do those things we do right now?
Life can take a different way so easily
Every choice we make
Every step we take
A constant fear of doing wrong
But I know two mistakes doesn't make it right
I wanna lay myself down and close my eyes
But I can't escape from what the future holds
What if the scientist doesn't know what his work of art
will be used for
What he made was harmless
But used in the name of terror
So many broken promises
So many lives at stake
You could always wonder "what if...?" but there's nothing
you can do
So sit down and enjoy there's nothing you can do
A constant fear of doing wrong
But I know two mistakes doesn't make it right
I wanna lay myself down and close my eyes
Here I stand alone
With this weight upon my heart
And it will not go away
In my head I keep on looking back
Right back to the start
Wondering what it was that made you change
Well I tried
But I had to draw the line
And still this question keeps on spinning in my mind
What if I had never let you go
Would you be the one I used to know
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know
Many roads to take
Some to joy
Some to heartache
Anyone can lose their way
And if I said that we could turn it back
Right back to the start
Would you take the chance and make the change
Do you think how it would have been sometimes
Do you pray that I'd never left your side
What if I had never let you go
Would you be the one I used to know
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know
Oh, we'll never know
I guess we'll never know
If only we could turn the hands of time
If I could take you back would you still be mine
'Cos I tried
But I had to draw the line
And still this question keep on spinning in my mind
What if I had never let you go
Would you be the one I used to know
What if I had never walked away
'Cos I still love you more than I can say
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know
So there they stood
On a mountain, revealing their wisdom
While taking in all that earth had to give to them
And what it hid, secrets that shadows of time concealed
What if when they saw burning stars
They thought it was a gift from beyond far
Look close between the lines
Beyond what you believe to be real
Are they just theories of time
Behold the tooth of yesterday
It holds the truth to set you free
From history some live their lives
Not long ago we looked at power as just a vision
To shatter dark with just a beam of light
Eight and a half years of confusion turns into a lifetime
of torment.
Of replacing the unreplaceable. Of questioning the
unquestionable.
My life without you will exhausted by the burden of this
question and this question alone. (x2)
And I lay tortured by regret . Naked without your
security. I reach out and grab hold of nothing but the
delusion that maybe, one day, youll give me the awnsers
that i search for. Naked without your touch, Smile,
Here I stand alone
With this weight upon my heart
And it will not go away
In my head I keep on looking back
Right back to the start
Wondering what it was that made you change
Well I tried
But I had to draw the line
And still this question keeps on spinning in my mind
What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know
Many roads to take
Some to joy
Some to heart-ache
Anyone can lose their way
And if I said that we could turn it back
Right back to the start
Would you take the chance and make the change
Do you think how it would have been sometimes
Do you pray that I'd never left your side
What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know
If only we could turn the hands of time
If I could take you back would you still be mine
'Cos I tried
But I had to draw the line
And still this question keep on spinning in my mind
What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
What if I had never walked away
'Cos I still love you more than I can say
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know
Every day I try to see the closeness that you promised me that fades away, fades away
Every night I try to dream of what you wanted me to be in your life, in your life
Every dawn of light that wakes you up will remind you of my touch, that youll miss so much
What if die tomorrow, would you miss me here
And what if I cry tomorrow, would you shed your tears
Every time you think about the things you said remind yourself how Im gone
I hope you take the signs Of listen learn tomorrow isnt promised, nothings promised
Every hour of every day that Im by, youll cry for me, youll cry for me
What if die tomorrow, would you miss me here
And what if I cry tomorrow, would you shed your tears
A story has just been told that hasnt happen yet
Just a tragic foreshadowing of what could happen to you
Think before you speak, it could be the last time
The last time, the last time
What if die tomorrow, would you miss me here
And what if I cry tomorrow, would you shed your tears
A story has just been told that hasnt happen yet
What if I touch you
What if you like the way you feels
What if I tell you
What should never be reviewed
An imagination starts running while
Like the inner sense of a little child that my lips pull the young nicks smile
Like water pulling down upon my face
And I'm running over every taste
And there's no way escape
I can't catch my breath
What if it happens
What if we go through soul control
What if it takes us
To the case we lose our souls
What if, what if ~
What if we do it
What if we go and cross deadline
What if we choose it
If you want we have be high
And I'm want to know that nobody is twist
The way given The world we can't resist
And I'll passes scream for every kiss
Like fire
Running through a vans with crane
The danger rope Just wanna to braze the weekend a race
There's no turning back
What if we happen
What if we go through soul control
What if it takes us
To the case we lose our souls
What If we make love
What if we walking through the frames
What if it happens, happens
We ever ever, ever be the same
Imagination starts running while
Like the inner sense of a little child that my lips pull the young nicks smile
Like water pulling down upon my face
Then I'm running over every taste
There's no way escape
I can't catch my breath
What if it happens
What if we go though soul control
What if it takes us
To the case we lose our souls
What if we make love
What if we walking through the frames

What if I plains your games
Darling, it's so likely to be that you'd fall for me again,
but only time will tell.
Come on, don't fool yourself.
Don't be ridiculous, because I'm digging my own grave.
There's only one way in this case..
One way in this case.
We all need a reason to believe,
because I know that you never believed in me.
Woah-oh, oh, oh, oh!
What if I? What if I?
Woah-oh, oh, oh, oh!
What if I never knew your name?
You can't help but feel the way that you feel
and your addiction to yourself
'Cause you don't know a thing about,
don't know a thing about love.
'Cause I wouldn't buy a word that you spoke,
unless you end up dead.
We all need a reason to believe,
because I know that you never believed in me.
Woah-oh, oh, oh, oh!
What if I? What if I?
Woah-oh, oh, oh, oh!
What if I never knew your name?
I never knew your name.
Woah-oh, oh, oh, oh!
What if I never knew your name?
Woah-oh, oh, oh, oh!
What if I never knew your name?
(Woah-oh, oh, oh, oh!)
(Woah-oh, oh, oh, oh!)
We all need a reason to believe,
because I know that you never believed in me.
Woah-oh, oh, oh, oh
what if I, what if I?
Woah-oh, oh, oh, oh!
What if I never knew your name?
(Woah-oh, oh, oh, oh!)
(Woah-oh, oh, oh, oh!)
I never knew your name.
Woah-oh, oh, oh, oh!
What if I were to lose my way?
What if the winds were to suddenly blow me away?
What if a tree were to fall on me?
A shadow swallow me?
What if the corner store is gone
and I disappear into a crazy song?
What if they got no chocolate ice cream?
Or will the grocer say is he going to laugh at me?
Will they think I'm not big enough?
Or say I'm not tough enough
to make my own way?
Little boy make your own way in the big, big world.
What if the price went up overnight
and momma said that it often does,
wouldn't that be a sight?
And what if daddy didn't know it,
and the money were counterfeit?
Would they send me off to jail?
Will I have to take my tail between my legs and run?
What if? What if?
So many what ifs.
What if? What if?
Don't know about anything.
What if? What if?
Gotta know about everything.
whoa whoa What if?
What if? What if?
So many what ifs.
What if? What if?
Don't know about anything.
What if? What if?
Gotta know about everything.
What if I really do have a friend?
and could I take his hand anytime?
Start back again?
Or is it just believing ______
my brother says Jacob's superheroes
could save me now like _____ again
come to me now but no more lullabies.
Little bo peep lost her mother ____
valley of the shadow little lamb
Sister too they love Peter Pan
When will love be an only
Ooh la la la la la lullaby
Ooh la la la la lullaby
Ooh la la la la lullaby
What if everything turns out alright?
What if there are no orcs or goblins in the night?
What if I wake because my father squeezes
momma on the butt she sneezes, ah-choo!
Go to sleep god bless you
breezes gently
little darling he's a lullaby
Ooh la la la la la lullaby
Ooh la la la la la lullaby
Ooh la la la la la lullaby
Jacob, Jacob

I could have sweared that I was right
But you played with my mind
I don't want this to be something easy for me
You always tease me with your look
You're nothing like an open book
I just want you to say, call on my name
What if the sky were alone
No stars there will be
What if you were on your own
That's not meant to be
I don't wanna se you with someone
I just wanna be that special one
Why don't you let me into your life
I could be one big surprise
I set your fire, I make your wish
I just want one more kiss
They always say that you try to hard
If I only had the one right card
What if the sky were alone
No stars there will be
What if you were on your own
That's not meant to be
You gotta wait, hear what I say
No I can't, leave you alone like that
I wanna burn like fire
I wanna burn like fire
I could have sweared that I was right
But you played with my mind
What if the sky were alone
No stars there will be
What if you were on your own
What if it makes you sad at me
And what if it makes you laugh now but you cry as you fall asleep
And what if it takes your breath and you can't hardly breathe
And what if it makes the last sound be the very best sound
What if what I want makes you sad at me
Is it all my fault or can I fix it please
Cause you know that I'm always all for you
Cause you know that I'm always all for you
What if it makes you lose faith in me
And what if makes you question every moment you cannot see
And what if it makes you crash, and you can't find the key
And what if it makes you ask how you could let it all go
What if what I want makes you sad at me
Is it all my fault or can I fix it please
Cause you know that I'm always all for you
Cause you know that I'm always all for you
And if this be our last conversation
If this be the last time that we speak for awhile
Don't lose hope and don't let go
Cause you should know
If it makes you sad
If it makes you sad at me
Then it's all my fault and let me fix it please
Cause you know that I'm always all for you
Cause you know that I'm always all for you
What if what I want makes you sad at me
And if it's all my fault then let me fix it please
Cause you know that I'm always all for you
Here it goes
don't walk away
please listen to what i have to say
you and i maybe baby
we're meant to be
but we'll see
so let's go
just walk with me
ya got to talk to me
hear me out
what if we decided to be more
than friends
what would happen
and why are you laughin'
i ain't playin'
and what if we fell in love
and what if we fell in love
next question
next question
so apparantly you don't feel the same way for me
you see as a brother
there is no other
but if you give me a chance and just one dance
you'll see
there's something you can find to love about me
there's something you can find to love about me
so take the chance
give me your hand
and what if we fell in love
and what if we fell in love
it would be
so unexpected
you and me
so unexpected
you and me(x4)
it's 2 o'clock
hang up the phone
and play the talk we had in your head and
what i say and what you said is on your mind
before you go to bed so
you're walkin' and pacin'
your heart is racin'
you know that
if you give me your hand and a chance
we could grow into
something so beautiful
and something incredible
and what if we fell in love
and what if we fell in love
it would be so unexpected
you and me
so unexpected
(Hans York)
What if I had met you first,
Would you be my baby?
What if I had kissed your lips
Would that have changed my fate?
What if you were right for me
Would I turn back the wheel of time?
Two last sunny days in Rome,
I was out strolling on my own
No destination just a pleasure walk,
my friends already gone, nobody there to talk
Made a stop on my way,
everything felt different that day
A stranger, you were, caught my attention,
all things I saw there is a lot to mention
What if I had met you first,
Would you be my baby?
What if I had kissed your lips
Would that have changed my fate?
What if you were right for me
Would I turn back the wheel of time?
The beach was quite empty today,
just her and me and her friend from far away.
She hadn't seen her for the longest time,
now it became a problem of mine.
Wasn't looking for anything,
saw the confusion it would bring.
I love my girl, and it is true,
hidden behind I could see me and you
What if I had met you first,
Would you be my life mate?
What if I had kissed your lips
Would that have changed my fate?
What if you were right for me
Would I turn back the wheel of time?
What if I had met you first,
Would you be my life mate?
What if I had kissed your lips
Would that have changed my fate?
What if I lead the way
What if I make mistakes
(Will you be there)
What if I change the world
What if I take the blame
(Will you be there)
I remember going back to the place we used to lay
But I keep losing track
And now the days, they all turn black
And our dreams all start to fade
But there's no turning back
'Cause the world keeps turning
(So why do you tell me you care if you're not gonna stay?)
And my heart's still burning
(Why do you tell me you care?)
(refrão)
What if I change the world
If I lead the way
What if I'm the one that takes the blame
What if I can't go on without you
What if I graduate
What if I don't
What if I don't
And I'm slowly giving up
As the world keeps losing faith
And you still turn your back
Another path I follow takes a toll on me, on you
But there's no turning back
Cause the world keeps turning
(So why do you tell me you care if you're not gonna stay?)
And my heart's still burning
(Why do you tell me you care?)
(refrão)
What if I change the world
If I lead the way
What if I'm the one that takes the blame
What if I can't go on without you
What if I graduate
What if I don't
What if I don't
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
For you to call me
Ohh.
What if I lead the way
What if I graduate
What if I change the world
Would you still remember me?
What if I lead the way
What if I graduate
What if I change the world
Will I find the words to tell you what you mean to me?
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
For you to call me
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
Lying to myself again
Searching for some answers
Crying just for your forgiveness
Getting into danger
Angels turning into dust
Dust turning into pain
Shadows playing in my mind
How could I just stand?
What is your goal?
Can't say no
Not again - Embracing the dark
Leave me be
Take my sins
Just for you - Ending my trust
What should I do
Just to stand by your side
Loving someone
That could never be mine
Trying to breathe in
Hearing your heartbeat into the dark
Learn to forgive
Remember me
Stay here with me again
Ignore the past
What if you tried
What can it take
What if is not the end
Take those good emotions
Place them in your heart
There's no devotion
Stronger than the love
I'll always be with you
Dream always higher
Don't lie to yourself
Release me from your spell
Trying to breathe in
Hearing your heartbeat into the dark
Learn to forgive
Remember me
Stay here with me again
Ignore the past
What if you tried
What can it take
I can remember all the times I tried to tell you
Just what was on my mind
But I couldn't find the words to say
I'm so confused by the thought
Of you and me together
And I'm afraid you might not feel the same
Even if you did, would it change everything?
And we could try but maybe it's not meant to be
Oh, what if we fail?
What if, what if it doesn't work out?
What if, what if thinking about?
What if, what if? What if, what if? What if, what if?
What if we fail?
What if, what if it doesn't work out?
What if, what if thinking about
What do we do when all breaks down?
Now I don't know where to go and who to turn to
It has always been you
But I don't wanna lose you, not this way
I'm not even sure if it's real what I feel
But I know that I need you
But I'm afraid you might not feel the same
Even if you did, would it change everything?
And we could try but maybe it's not meant to be
Oh, what if we fail?
What if, what if it doesn't work out?
What if, what if thinking about?
What if, what if? What if, what if? What if, what if?
What if we fail?
What if, what if it doesn't work out?
What if, what if thinking about
What do we do when all breaks down?
What if you feel the way I feel?
We could try
But it could all go wrong in the end
And I don't want us to fall apart
Maybe it's better to stay friends
What if we fail?
What if, what if it doesn't work out?
What if, what if thinking about?
What if, what if? What if, what if? What if, what if?
What if we fail?
What if, what if it doesn't work out?
What if, what if thinking about
What do we do when all breaks down?
What if we fail?
What if, what if it doesn't work out?
What if, what if thinking about?
What if, what if? What if, what if? What if, what if?
What if we fail?
What if, what if it doesn't work out?
What if, what if thinking about
(Feat. Kanye West & Rihanna)
Rihanna:
Feel it coming in the air
Hear the screams from everywhere
I'm addicted to the the thrill (I'm Ready)
It's a dangerous love affair (C'mon)
Can't be scaring nickels down
Got a problem, tell me now
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who gon' run this town tonight
Is who gon' run this town tonight
We gon' run this town
Jay-Z:
We are, yeah, I said it, we are
This is Roc Nation, pledge your allegiance
Get y'all fatigues on, all black everything
Black cards, black cars, all black everything
And our girls are blackbirds, riding with they Dillingers
I get more in-depth if you boys really real enough
This is La Familia, I'll explain later
But for now, let me get back to this paper
I'm a couple bands down and I'm tryna get back
I gave Doug a grip, I lost a flip for five stacks
Yeah, I'm talking five comma six zeroes dot zero?
Back to running circles 'round niggas, now we squared up
Hold up
Rihanna:
Life's a game but it's not fair
I break the rules so I don't care
So I keep doing my own thing
Walking tall against the rain
Victory's within the mile
Almost there, don't give up now
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who gon' run this town tonight
Heeeeeeeeey heeeeeeay Heeeeeeeeey heeeeeeay
Who gon' run this town tonight?
Jay-Z:
We are, yeah, I said it, we are
You can call me Caesar, in a dark Caesar
Please follow the leader, so Eric B we are
Microphone fiend, it's the return of the God, peace God
And ain't nobody fresher
I'm in Maison, uh, Martin Margiela
On the table, screaming f@#k the other side, they jealous
We got a bankhead full of broads, they got a table full of fellas
And they ain't spendin' no cake
They should throw they hand in, 'cause they ain't got no spades
My whole team got dough
So my bankhead is lookin' like Millionaires' Row
Rihanna:
Life's a game but it's not fair
I break the rules so I don't care
So I keep doing my own thing
Walking tall against the rain
Victory's within the mile
Almost there, don't give up now
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who gon' run this town tonight
Heeeeeeeeey heeeeeeay Heeeeeeeeey heeeeeeay
Who gon' run this town tonight?
Kanye West:
It's crazy how you can go from being Joe Blow
To everybody on your dick, no homo
I bought my whole family whips, no Volvos
Next time I'm in church, please no photos
Police escorts, everybody passports
This the life that everybody ask for
This a fast life, we are on a crash course
What you think I rap for? To push a f@#kin' Rav 4?
But I know that if I stay stunting
All these girls only gon' want one thing
I could spend my whole life good will hunting
Only good gon' come is it's good when I'm coming
She got an ass that'll swallow up her G-string
And up top, uh, two bee stings
And I'm beasting, off the re-sling
And my nigga just made it out the precinct
We give a damn about the drama that you do bring
I'm just tryna change the color on your mood ring
Reebok, baby, you need to try some new things
Have you ever had shoes without shoestrings?
What's that, Ye? Baby, these heels
Is that a May-what? Baby, these wheels
You trippin' when you ain't sippin', have a refill
You feelin' like you run it, huh?
Now you know how we feel
Jay-Z:
Wha'sup?
Rihanna:
Heeeeeeeeey heeeeeeay Heeeeeeeeey heeeeeeay
Jay-Z:
Wha'sup?
Rihanna:
Heeeeeeeeey heeeeeeay Heeeeeeeeey heeeeeeay
Who gon' run this town tonight?
Jay-Z:
What if you let me love, you?
What if you let me love, you?
What if you could read my dirty mind?
What if I could keep you for the night?
What if we don't fight the fire?
We just let it burn, give into desire even if it's all a blur
You got me wishin' we'd stop what if'n
And just do it all
All that I'm missin', is your permission, to take it off
What if you let me love, you?
Yeah you should let me love, you
What if you let me do all the things that I want to?
Cause I got to, have you
What if you let me love?
What if we took it to the back seat?
What if I'm exactly what you need?
What if we don't care at all, let'em stare if they want to
I don't mind their eyes on us, long as your eyes are on me
You got me wishin' we'd stop what if'n
And just do it all
All that I'm missin', is your permission, to take it off
What if you let me love, you?
Yeah you should let me love, you
What if you let me do all the things that I want to?
Cause I got to, have you
What if you let me?
You're such a good girl, you got a love that's outta this world
I know you've been waiting for the right one
Well here I am, you don't have to keep it locked up
What if you let me love, you?
Yeah you should let me, love you
What if you let me do all the things that I want to?
Cause I got to, have you
What if you let me love?
What if you let me love?
What if you let me love?
What if you let me love?
There's a riot in my backyard
But I can hear what they say
Why is everybody shouting?
I hope I'm only dreaming
Can you hear the sirens?
I think they coming for me
I hope I'm only dreaming, baby
I hope that we can dream the night away
If you knew the end is nigh
Would you still be here tonight?
If you knew the end is nigh
Would you still be here tonight?
Don't you worry about your TV
This is never gonna happen
Because we are only dreaming
You will always dreaming
And if I say: I HATE YOU!
Would you still be here?
And if I say: I LOVE YOU!
IK HATE YOU! I LOVE YOU!
AND I DON'T KNOW WHY!
If you knew the end is nigh
Would you still be here tonight?
If you knew the end is nigh
Would you still be here tonight?
Would you still be here tonight?
If you knew the end is nigh
Would you still be here tonight?
If you knew the end is nigh
Would you still be here tonight?
Don't you worry about the thing grow
(Maybe if some type of possibility could become a theory, be part of something)
What if in the future
People just decided
No more leaders fighting
To control us
(Maybe if some type of possibility could become a theory, be part of something)
Freedom
What if
I know you want it
Well we've come to start it
With you
You all
What if in the future
People just united
(Maybe if some type of possibility could become a theory, be part of something)
What if
Life was
Just an illusion
Made up
By you
Some things don't seem right
Change is in sight
Some things are so wrong
Life last too long
I know you want it
Well we've come to start it
With you
I know you want it
Well we've come to start it
With you
Let's say,
I fell into place, I feel much better,
I don't remember a thing.
Would it make you think of me as normal again?
Let's say,
I found a way to climb up this ladder,
Won't stay down here for long.
Would it make me worthy in your eyes?
You act as if you have no weaknesses,
I'm sorry I'm not perfect like you.
What if,
I went and told everyone my story,
And how you treated me?
Would it make you feel ashamed?
No, I'm not being sarcastic,
Who I am, where I came from,
What you did to me?
You act as if you have no weaknesses,
I'm sorry I'm not perfect like you.
Don't you get tired of wearing your mask?
I'm sorry I'm not careless like you.
No, I'm not being revengeful,
Just trying to find out
Who you are, where you came from,
What I did to you.
You act as if you have no weaknesses,
I'm sorry I'm not perfect like you.
Don't you get tired of wearing your mask?
[L-Fudge]
The likes of me, F-U-D-G-E brains compete
Wit CP0-3's intelligence
Accompanied by Mike Z-double-O-T
Shabaam Sahdeeq, Skam, Kweli, and Spinna permanently
Deadin the neglegence
[Mike Zoot]
I buy trees all the time, twenties and dimes
You see it in my rhymes frequently, when every other line
There's the reference, the understood preference is that I'm biased
To black shh, black shh to keep me more hype
Seasoned trees get minus disposed right there
Mixed it the ten piece, divide my share
Amongst niggas to overrun it, it's a long climb to the summit
On the lazy afternoon, on the boom oh how I love it
So I does it but imagine if I wasn't, fascinated
Wit the sense of heat that stressin me, fled to frustrated
Ticked off, pissed off, tried to get my dick off
I'm savin a little money, twenty dollars ain't shit
I'm still hungry, and thirsty
You haven't seen the worst of me yet
Since we met it's back to back cigarettes
All my breath hurt, my chest nervous wreckin the session
Imagine Mike Zoot, my brain off drugs, any questions? (yes, yes)
"What" [x25]
[Talib Kweli]
We bring it back to science, wit the finest of Medina
Imagine all the people livin in, maybe I'm just a dreamer
Non-believers microscopic like ameobas
Runnin out of phony acts, be at the underground spots when you need us
Defeat the purpose of the circus, guess who the animals (guess who)
They over-work us and jerk us till we ain't thinkin clearly (come one)
Cuz the history we stay weary of various theories
Question evolution and use to pass this lesson through revolution
Ask what not to do (yes), without firepower how is you militant? (yes)
That type shit we don't forget like elephants (never forget)
We stompin black holes in space
If you tore this wicked system down, what would you build in its place?
You gotta plan then we rollin (come on), don't waste my time (please)
There is land that is stolen which is rightfully mine
What if slavery never happened and we was never colonized?
What if governments never lied and white folks apologized?
Or if the environment didn't create the context for the art
When niggas celebrate the death and breakin black mommas hearts
What part, would a MC like me play wit my positive talents play
If there was no negativity to keep the balance?
[Shabaam Sahdeeq]
What if '87 never happened?
No innovative hip-hop, no crack kingpin, no park hand-clappin
Damn, one to his chest, the tool jam
He tried to flash a black casket, his son's a bastard
What if the guns was gone soon as your sons was born?
Back to the fisticuffs, only the snakes get bust
>From greed to lust, I seen em all fall face first
Rapidly tappin the frequency and get dissed by chemist
I be exposin the scandalous
Sahdeeq, maniscription is the beef shit
What if the sky fell into the sea?, apocalypse now
Crushin the globe on a quest for your long lost souls
What if I catch the red-eye flight to J-A
And build wit the knotty's on the hill all day?
What if I smacked the grin off your chin
When you say, that the cats on this track don't have nuttin to spray?
"What" [x17]
[L-Fudge]
What if all world sort of didn't straight up exist?
You wouldn't witness the diabolicness that'll twist
Your head off, and suck the juice out your neck like a sports bottle
Rip a rhyme full throttle, and put the sun in a clutch
If you confused you can use your bad luck for a crutch
So what you if tried to spit my brain's a pit, throw em in
Shake a watchness up and stitch his lips to the opening
I'm hoping above average becomes the new average
Some mediocre rappers are flipped to sub-standard
Demanded, the day da county dazzlely degenerate
Three-oh-five representative the slang that scam
Deep thought wit Shadow Man in Miami we do things
Like sellin rap nigga's hoes to y'all for weddin rings
Wit more mysteries than conspiracies wit change links
We're strangely spittin thoughts by my lonely
After all this close contact you still don't know me
[Skam]
What if? to me is the same question I've asked myself
Exactly twenty years I just blew the penitentiary
Imagine if disease, prejudice didn't exist
Materialistic dreams of purchasing that Lexus would be deaded
What if we remained primative depended on natural resources?
To live and didn't have technology to abort our kids
How about if there was no rated-R flicks to corrupt our minds?
Or if world wars ain't take place and didn't interrupt our times?
What if this free world shit didn't have us hypnotized?
Or cannibalism was a permanent state of mind?
The death rate, grows faster than we can produce yellow tape
The main suspect is society for committing this mistake
Categorizing everything, I sit back and dig up some more "what if's"
Hand em the drama that any bring
Black and blues ain't results to some of em being mad at you
Egos are devils sittin on shoulders, trickin em to blast at you word
What if you had to try?
For all eternity not cry
What if you had to feel?
That’s nothing around you is for real
What if you had to see?
Something you would never be
What if you had to choose?
When there is nothing to loose
What if you had to lie?
For someone you love don’t die
What if you had to run?
At some war without a gun
What if you had to hurt?
Me on myself birth
What if you had to say?
Something you’ve been ashamed
What if you had to buy?
Your home instead o’ mine
What if you had no time?
What if there's
No one who I would put up with
What if there's
No one who'd put up with me
What if I'm destined
To always remain alone
What if this question's
As selfish as it seems
Chorus:
And I scream to myself
Like a thunder clapping cloud
And it rains in my heart
Until my goddess built an ark
And she fills it with all
The animals
That she can possibly find
Still she's bleeding
Still she's bleeding inside
What if there's
No one who recognizes
Me in their mirror
Me in their past
In their glass
What if I'm destined
To only see myself
In my own reflection
Instead of loves eyelash
(Chorus)
Still she's bleeding inside
So much bleeding inside
Oh, bleeding inside
Still she's
What if there's
No one who I would put up with
What if there's
No one who'd put up with me
What if I'm destined
To always remain alone
What if this question's
As stupid as it seems
And I scream to myself
Like a thunder clapping cloud
And it rains in my heart
Until my goddess built an ark
And she fills it with all
Tthe animals
What if she reads it wrong
What if she thinks I'm boring
Each line more convincingly snoring
What if she reads it right
What if she thinks I'm crazy
Cause I'm Canadian maybe
What if she doesn't read it at all
What if it all falls in on me
(Chorus)
What if's got no room
What if's got no rhyme
What if's worry's tune
And worry can't be a friend of mine
Peace rest inside
And know its all in God's time
What if my car evaporates
How will I get her this letter,
Got no wheels got no feathers
What if the post office is closed
How will I ever send it
These state holidays have wrecked it
What if she moves this afternoon,
What if my letter and I are doomed
Chorus
Someday soon I'll look back and smile
At the things I did to try and catch her
But my hopes inside are still strong
These days
Lord guard my heart from me worrying
It away
