What if I never make it? What if I’m never famous? What if, I’m broke And my whole life been a joke? What if nothin’ ever happen? What if I gotta stop rappin’? What if, what if, what if this is it?
What if I never get the chance tell the world what I gotta say? And when I die, all I do is just ride away I try and talk about my life in every song So you have a little somethin’ to remember when I’m gone I tell it like it is, I ain’t pretendin’ that I’m on But I tell you that I’m workin’ and I’m gettin’ very strong It won’t be long ’til you hear me on the radio But in my head, I got ways to go But I’ma take it slow, businesses is the way to blow So any place I go, I know my bank can roll The old heads are schoolin’ me, I’m takin’ notes I am hip-hop, it replaced my soul If I sink to the bottom, then I’ma make a float I heard the real world’s cold, I’ma take a coat Be prepared, and be aware ’cause failure ain’t really even there
What if I never make it? What if I’m never famous? What if, I’m broke And my whole life been a joke? What if nothin’ ever happen? What if I gotta stop rappin’? What if, what if, what if this is it?
Expectations peakin’, they wonder what I’m ’bout to do Spark interest, music, I can count on you, right? But do I have it all twisted? I went from popular to misfit in an instant My friends forgot me ’cause they probably seen me hardly In the lab when I should be out at a party It drive me crazy, and money is the fuel Insomniac, awake, findin’ somethin’ I can do to put the work in And I’m certain that I’m flirtin’ with the fame Failure gettin’ jealous, throwin’ dirt upon my name Burnin’ up my brain, but I’m workin’ through my pain ‘Cause life’s hard ’til you learn it’s just a game Play your cards, use your letters on your Scrabble board If you small, put your heart into your rappin’ more No money? Why the fuck you countin’ for? A thousand truants tryin’ to get up my allowance more
