What If |
The other night I had a vision of |
My whole life, joy, pain, hate and giving love |
Pictured the bad side and I wish that I could change things |
Soon as I did, I went comatose and drifted into a dream |
Soon as I came to, I looked up and seen |
A dope fiend that I grew up with, he was clean and |
Why was I seeing this? |
What could it mean? |
I was living the flashback, reenacting the past scene |
Right back to the day crack took over his mind |
Had the chance to stop my boy before he hit it for the first time |
I called out to him and got his attention |
Viewed my presence as a method of divine intervention |
Told him his wife was looking for him and she needed him quick |
Made up a lie, told him to get home, said his baby was sick |
He went home and never ever put the pipe to his face |
But his little sister came through later and ended up taking his place |
We wonder |
What if you could go back in time |
And relive moments you left behind? |
Would life be better somehow |
Knowing then what you know now? |
What if you could go back again |
And keep so many things from happening? |
What if you could go back in time? |
Now, next thing you know I quantum leap through the dark |
I was mobbing with my OGs, we was back in The Park |
I’m at the club with my homeboy, 1993 |
It was the night he first met his baby-mama to be |
Four children later, homie went from balling to broke |
‘cause she was stangin' him for child support on all of ‘em, loc |
He be saying if he could go back, he never would meet her |
Knew I was flashing back and seen a chance for me to delete her |
Soon as he got ready to step to her, I made up a tale |
Told him her boyfriend was a killer that just raised out of jail |
And he don’t bar busting a cap and going right back in |
That’s when he changed his mind and never thought about her again |
I was happy because I saved him, proud of what I had did |
He can’t miss what he never had but I could picture his kids |
In the end, I still lost something I tried to protect |
Instead of riding with her, he left drunk and died in a wreck |
We wonder |
What if you could go back in time |
And relive moments you left behind? |
Would life be better somehow |
Knowing then what you know now? |
What if you could go back again |
And keep so many things from happening? |
What if you could go back in time? |
I started wondering about the deepness of man |
Do we control our destiny or are the secrets as planned? |
Is it right to try to tap into the mystery source |
And with no remorse attempt to alter history’s course? |
Would it be cool if we could travel back and relive events |
Now we resenting change, a pattern that was possibly meant |
If you could take a negative part of your life and remove it |
Is it guaranteed what you replace it with would improve it? |
How many lives mighta been saved, how many mighta been? |
How many great men and women might not have ever been born? |
If you get rid of all your struggles and all of your strife |
You couldn’t fully appreciate what you accomplish in life |
If you could redo your existence, would it properly suit ya? |
Realize you can’t change the past, but you control the future |
Truth is, once the time pass, ain’t no going back |
So be grateful for what you are, homie, and build on that |
We wonder |
What if you could go back in time |
And relive moments you left behind? |
Would life be better somehow |
Knowing then what you know now? |
Yeah, ay, time is not reversible, man |
You can only look forward |
Live for today and the future, don’t live in the past |
Look to the past to learn from your mistakes |
But build on that, mane, ay |
