What If? Songtext

When I 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 it like it is, I ain't pretending in the...
But I tell you that I'm working and I'm getting very strong
It won't be long 'till you hear me on the radio
But in my head I got ways to go
But I'm a take it slow, business is the way to blow
So any place I go, I know my bank can roll
The old heads is schooling me, I'm taking notes
I am hip hop, it replaced my soul
If I sink to the bottom then I'm a make a float
I heard the real world's cold, I'm a take a coat
Be prepared, and be aware
Cause failure ain't really even there

[Chorus:]
What if I'll never make it?
What if I'm never famous?
What if, I'm broke And my whole life has been a joke?
What if nothing never happens?
What if I gotta stop rapping?
What if, what if, what if this is it?

Expectations peaking, they wonder what I'm about to do
Spark interest, music I can count on you, right?
Do I have it all twisted? I went from popular to misfit in an instant
My friends forgot me cause they probably seen me on...
In the lab when I should be out at a party!
It drives me crazy, and money is the fuel
Insomniac, a way to find something I can do
To put the work in and I'm certain I'm flirting with the fame
Failure getting jealous, throwing dirt up on my name
Burning up my brain, 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 chores, trying to get up my allowance more

[Chorus:]
What if I never make it?
What if I'm never famous?
What if, I'm broke
And my whole life has been a joke?
What if nothing never happens?
What if I gotta stop rapping?
What if, what if, what if this is it?
