Mac Miller - What If lyrics

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

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?
