[Verse 1 Matt Andujo] Uhh, What if I never made it this far? far What if I gave up on my dreams cause man it was just too hard? Accepted average over lavish, never started rapping Saw every excuse as a distraction What if my mother took that choice and just aborted? What if my family and friends werent interested and supportive? Listening and sharing every single song that I recorded, buy the ticket to every show I performed in And what if I was born in a different time? time A different place where I was executed for saying whatever is on my mind A bullet to my dome to tell me that Im out of line Instead of people waiting in these lines to hear whats on my mind But me? Im living just fine What if was living wrong? Too blind to see the light, too dumb to see the right despite knowing that Im mistaken But what if Im rewarded for all these risks Im taking? [Hook Matt Andujo] What if I fall? What if I never made it this far? What if I fly? What if I just accepted average? What if I live?, what if I die? All of these what ifs keep me up at night, but i know But what if I fly? That Imma be alright, yeah Imma be alright What if I reach the sky? What if I, I fall? What if I fly? What if I live? What if I die? See what if I... [Verse 2 Matt Andujo] What if I never packed my shit and went to college Say I never work hard? Ooh boy you better stop it Cause Im all about my business and this studio is my office Promoters giving me shows and these shows giving me profit And fuck a 95 fuck it I rather get nine bitches and take them around the world like 5 times New night, new city, new fans who will be fucking with me And I play this game until Im an old man like Ken Griffey Uhh, but what if just fall short? All these metaphors that Im relating back to sports If I strike out in the 9th, or miss the buzzer on the court Will the people that are here tonight still show the same support? Probably not! They only love the winners, they only want to eat when theres Fillet Mignonette for dinner fuck em What if I can feed them all the food that they desire? See, all of these what ifs are the reason why Im inspired [Hook] [Any Given Sunday Quote] ...we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch We claw with our fingernails for that inch Because we know when we add up all those inches, thats gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing! [Verse 3 Matt Andujo All these what ifs just running through my mind If only you can feel exactly what I feel inside Its outrageous how I went from nearly nameless to rocking stages With people chanting my name like Im somebody whos famous But Im not... yet! Im just paying my dues with this blood... sweat Go ahead collect, cause I come correct on every song Most of these rappers lie about [?], Pinocchio ass noses getting real long But i never lie, unless its with a bad woman in my bed dressed with nothing looking real fly No need to deny that now my life is looking positive I came from having nothing to blowing up like a hollow tip And fuck the politics I do this for the love I do this for everyone who believed just who I was, who I am And here I stand, never shall I fall And fuck the what ifs never cared about them at all! [Hook]
