lyrics

What if John Lennon never died? What if Kurt Cobain ain't commit suicide? Who am I to decide what's wrong or right? But i can't help thinkin bout Bigs homocide. All about Left Eye, what if she didn't take that ride? What if Aaliyah didnt take that flight and Pac never went to that fight? What if Whitney met Bobby and it didn't feel right? What if I wasnt white? What if we stopped creating wars and found better solutions. What if our leaders used their power instead of abused it. Air, food, and water is filled with pollutants. Shoot them. Every head in the head. Right thru them. Politicians lie. Media disguised. They dont wanna see us live, they just wanna see us die. They dont give us cures, nothin pure. Drugs are a lure, so feed us more, feed us more, feed us morphine. More feed for our dope feins. No cures for your disease. That's something people like us wont see. So get a job where you hate to be and make enough money so you can die like everybody. What if I didn't wake up tomorrow? What if I didn't wake up today? What if didnt wake up tomorrow? Would you remember all the words I say? Should I write em down now or will you just throw em away. Lately I've been thinkin why? When? And if? And what would it be like to be a young kid. Growin up today in a society full shit. Everybody medicated nobody sick. What if we lived in a society filled with love, peace, and being positive? Good deeds without acknowledgement? Without a crooked government and we werent full of astonishment when others helped others in need. And rich families donated part of their greed. What if we rewrote history and we didnt judge on belief, skin color, or his or she? Or if his laid with a he, or her laid with a she, yo we need to let people be. What if Michael Jackson wasnt attacked? And what if Iggy didnt rap with a Brooklyn accent? What if Kendrick and Em never started rapping? What if N.W.A. was never a faction? I never understood a soul when its passing. How a ruler has a plan to control all these actions. And why those that fulfill it all with passion deal with things that nobody else could fathom? What if the world ended in 10 minutes? Would you be satisfied with the time you spent in it? Close your eyes, who do you envision? Is it who you wanna be with in your last breaths livin? What if you didn't wake up tomorrow? What if you didn't wake up today? What if you didnt wake up tomorrow? Would we remember all the words you say? Lately I've been thinkin why? When? And if? And what would it be like to be a young kid? Growin up today in a society full of shit. Everybody medicated nobody sick. What if we never lose? What if we never choose? What if we didn't pursue? Tell me who are you? Are you true? Do you do what you wanna do? Or are you stuck livin under someone else's rules? It seems behind screens, fear will hold us down. The world is underground where no heroes are found. No gods, no legends to make a sound. The cemetaries are the richest parts of all the towns. In them is writers of a song we never heard. Inventors with ideas and babies gone at birth. Motivators,leaders, and all of their works. Creators and innovators to build on this earth. Some much love in the dirt. Love we need each day. Love to deliver us worth. Love we didnt earn to only love an urn. Ya know the fire doesn't bother us until we get burned. What if we didnt wake up tomorrow? What if we didn't wake up today? What if we didn't wake up tomorrow? Would you remember all the words we say? All the words we say. Should we write em down now or you just throw him away. I got questions like first grade students. Really I was tryin to go out and make it big. But the industry is just full of these pricks,they got questions, how to make em rich? And I'm gone.
