If I Could

The life I live is a fast one

But even if I'm getting home-pies, I would have some

Course I think I'm top of the sport I do bar-none

Won't change a thing and I can still have a chart run, still be a gargon

You grow up as a kid; you're looking up to your older

And then you lose respect because you see what they show ya

I wish I didn't have to be the one that they looked to

I don't condone the war that the young ones are put through

Things have changed now but I come from the hood too

People say they never see me there but I'm hood dude

Say the word lemon, I'll be there with the good food

Certain man you see and they are not in a good mood

I just let the world go by and I'll pace it

If I draw a good picture then another can trace it

Mother dropped me in the world only for me to grace it

I'm gona leave my mark on this earth place it, advanced not basic

If I could, I would change

Life's a battle I'm only one somebody I can only do so much

And even I ain't worry but I still stay strong

I am the only one, ohh

I tell them no man is an island, well you will think we are but I'm breaking the silence

I wanna see us all on one time

But if I'm on the bill then someone gotta spit one rhyme

What they tryna do is light the show with me one sign

Can't help the world will your only one mind, only got one life

If you don't reverse and take it serious; one mic

Deny you of your legacy and they ain't got one right

Well I record a batch of nine tracks in one night

I work through the hours and then I meet with the sunlight

I know I got power but I'm tryin to channel it

I know that we can make the music, money, and manage it

Even starting from the floor I'll find the flow and unravel it

Every time I watch the news blud it's making me sad a bit

I really need to change the channel over to happy vibes

N-dubz, fazer, tulisa, dappy vibes

Whoevers in the lime-light's got a good apetite

I rate ya, how am I gona hate ya? Harry right, huh

If I could, I would change

Life's a battle I'm only one somebody I can only do so much

And even I ain't worry but I still stay strong

I am the only one, ohh

I tell them no man is an island, well you will think we are but I'm breaking the silence

If I could, I would change

Life's a battle I'm only one somebody I can only do so much

And even I ain't worry but I still stay strong

I am the only one, ohh

I tell them no man is an island, well you will think we are but I'm breaking the silence
