Peezy - What If lyrics

What if I ain't pick up the mic? Would my family live this life?
What if I was in the car with bro when they caught him at the light?
What if I catch that case? What if they ain't snatch me off my flight?
What if I go broke just chasing hoes and die without no wife?
What if I couldn't take care my kid? How could a nigga sleep at night?
What if that night them niggas hit my crib and I ain't fight for my life?
I'm just sayin', what if?

I got a lot of questions, but the main one is what if?
Even though you know you ain't 'posed to question God
And we ain't really got time to dwell in the past
But sometimes, I just sit and think like how the fuck I get so lucky?
Lot of my homeboys locked up
A lot of my homeboys dead and a couple of the bros
We ain't seein' eye-to-eye right now 'cause of personal shit
But sometimes, I sit and think like why the fuck God chose me?

What if I walked Soda to the car that night he took them shots?
Probably still be here today or we'd both be laid out on that block
Think about that every day, I can't lie, that shit a lot
But then I think about it, shit, he the reason I'm on top


I tried to tell Smerf you ain't from 'round here, this ain't your block
Tried to convince my boy to move, but he ain't listen, two weeks later, he got dropped
I was with Nef that night when we went to 00, sittin' in the lot
I seen it with my own eyes, when he got hit, jumped out the car
Ran up to my nigga and tried to pick him up like, "You alright?"
His stomach hangin' inside out, that broke me down, this shit ain't right
Fast forward a couple years later, my baby lost his life
Died hangin' out that window, guess he died doin' what he liked
What if they ain't catch Flay?
One of the flyest, most hustlin' niggas hands down
They picked my baby up from out the alley with his pants down
Still fucked up 'bout Riq, know ain't no love inside this damn town
That's why I moved away, 'cause if you try me, I won't stand down
What if I never left and switched the state?
Or said fuck it and just stayed? Would I still have all this pape'?
What if I ain't never do time with Wuan? What if I did a song with Blade?
What if I ain't get beats from Dame? What if I ain't get cool with Pay?
What if Tizzle was out of town with me? He'd probably still be livin'
Hate to say it, my nigga fell victim 'cause he love the trenches
What if I ain't fall out with lil' bro? What if he stood on business?
'Posed to be with me up least a half a ticket, I'm just sayin', what if?

Shit hurt me to my heart when we act like we don't fuck with each other, man
You can't be mad at me if I put the work in and you sittin' back watchin' me work
And you feel like we deserve equal success, my nigga
That ain't how the game go
It's like a nigga suffering in silence 'cause my rules gotta stay under the hat
It ain't nobody to kick it with
It ain't nobody to talk to
You know what you signed up for, nigga

Circumstances got us distant, I can't lie, it got me hurt
But you gotta stand on business, that's the only way it work
What if you did what you was 'posed to do and helped me put in work?
What if you booked your own ticket? What if you went and sold some merch?
I be stayin' away from niggas, most these niggas be on Percs
'Til they do some gangster shit, then be in some paperwork
What if Pesh and them ain't go to trial? What if Ski had took the plea?
What if Apple ain't get life? Let's not talk about MD
I seen the video myself, it hurt me when he told on Riq
It hurt me when Lil DJ lost his foot that day they chased his Jeep
What if Melray wasn't in that whip
Even though he ain't pull the trigger, they still gave him thirty years 'cause he ain't snitch
Thought my dog was rootin' for me, then he turned into a bitch
Tried to say he caught a pistol case because they heard my lyrics
When I heard it through the grapevine, that shit done broke my spirit
I been standin' on this shit so fuckin' long, I hurt my heel
Bond killers out of jail, even paid niggas' bail
What if you boys was built like me? Then you probably'd be real
What if your bitch wasn't cheatin' on you? What if them niggas wasn't stealin' from you?
What if you never broke the code? What if you really stayed a hundred?
You know this shit 'bout havin' pride, you know this shit ain't 'bout the money
You know it's law to cut the ties when niggas start movin' funny
What if my Auntie Paula never passed and wasn't my guardian angel?
What if a ghetto boy never was famous? What if?

I ain't ask for this shit
I ain't ask for this shit

What if I ain't pick up the mic? Would my family live this life? (Know what I'm sayin'?)
What if I was in the car with bro when they caught him at the light? (God gave me this shit, man)
What if I catch that case? What if they ain't snatch me off my flight?
What if I go broke just chasing hoes and die without no wife?
What if I couldn't take care my kid? How could a nigga sleep at night?
What if that night them niggas hit my crib and I ain't fight for my life?
I'm just sayin', what if?

What if?
I'm just sayin', what if?
I'm sayin', what if?
