A song which wonders What If

lyrics

Verse 1

If sleep was the cousin of death, could you marry it still?
Is Harry over the Hill, is he jealous of Will?
I'm Fresh Prince when I come with the skill
I never kill, they still checking the till
Well check this gonna shine like a neckless
Drinking boos with the hecklers, I'm letting lose on these settlers
Police never protect us, all they do is detect us
Screw face pretend it never effect us
Woo woo it's the sound of the Met cuz
Collect us like we points on they Nectars
Caged up these are animal sectors
Rage up black pride giving Hannibal lectures
I spit fire this is flammable text bruv
If ignorance is bliss, fuck living in this
Just cos I didn't like your teachings called me ignorant Miss
A genius if shutting all the questioning down
Blind obedience don't mean your profession is sound

Hook

If you had one wish, what would you wish for mama?
I never thought we'd be this poor mama
If you had one word, which would you choose?
If you had one day and nothing to lose
If you had one night would you light one spliff?
Or would you fight for your rights said we ain't shit
I bin a plaintiff ever since the slave ship
What if what if, what if what if


Verse 2

If you knew you would die in a day, where would you lay?
Where would you stay, what songs would you play?
Would you pray for real, would you believe?
Or would you kneel in the hope that you get a reprieve?
I would go to the barbers get a fresh cut
So when I'm laid in my casket look my best chuck
If could turn back the hands of time, where would you go bruv?
Before we know bad, they always said we no good
I show love to he thugs with a fist spud
Making fast money look at what you missed blud
You missed the sports days at the school you paid for
Picturing your son run staring at a cage door
You missed your daughter bringing back her first date
The awkward home run, but nothing more than first base
She got her first taste of coke from the rich school
Where were you as she was bullied? Now the bitch cool

HOOK REPEAT

Verse 3

If the meek shall inherit the earth, what is it worth?
If the caps melt, guess it's why they called us the serfs
If all people created equal, how did this happen?
I'm not shining, tapping, I'm grinding, rapping
You yap yap yapping and your tail's still wagging dog
Don't believe these leaders cos they never even had a job
If God would kill the devil would you give him a gun?
Or would you take the dirty money and tell the devil and run?
1.30 in the morning honey I'm horny and I finished my rum
Head back to mine then we'll really have fun
I guarantee we both drinker than when the drinking begun
And if you come back to mine at least one of us cum
What if we talked about things until we sobered up?
What if you were born with a crown, would you hold it up?
Uneasy lies the head that be under it
What if you around when your crown they plundered it, shit


HOOK REPEAT
