Knowmads - If lyrics

If it wasn't for this and wasn't for
That it could be a better world yeah

If it wasn't for this and wasn't for that
It could be a better world yeah

I hold the mic eagerly like a fat
Kid with a twinkie
Now everyone stand back and I'll crack
It with my pinkie i got a divine sense that
Doesn't even make sense
Until I break pens along with fake
Friends that make me hate them
But, it's an evil cycle and
It never stops spinning
We all think we're making progress but
We're still at the beginning an'
What we don't know is that every
One of us are sinning
We just make up an excuse for
It and all call it living
Well see that's what separates all the
Differences from you and me
I don't ever wanna see my
Pops readin' my eulogy
His son did not have to
Die over some fuckin' jewelry
I know the past is different but
This concept is new to me
The odds of everyone understanding and
Coming to a change is like livin' in Seattle
But never seein' rain
Makin' 10 million a year but
Sayin' fuck the fame
Or hearin' the but not feelin' the pain

If it wasn't for this and wasn't for that
It could be a better world yeah
(it could be a better world)

If it wasn't for this and wasn't for that
It could be a better world yeah
(it could be a better world)

I awoke to the sound of my life fallin' away
These days I'm lookin' out for
Shots planes and hurricanes
My fate rests in the clouds above
When I could crash any night when
My driver is drunk so
Who gon' tell me that my ways aren't healthy
Every couple of seconds a
Kid's eyes needs helping
I'm sick of these bitches who
Blame it on George Bush
Yeah the dude is a problem but
We're the buttons he push
If you took some time to
Think instead of watchin' TV
If you ain't makin' a difference then
You might as well be me
Cause, I preach for equality and
Act like that's enough
But support sweatshops just to rock
Some fresh dunks an'
I walk the globe steady lookin' for the truth
But the truth be hard to
Find like Iraqi nukes
So we all pledge allegiance for
Rape murder and massacre
While we blow up countries who
Be happily ever after us

If it wasn't for this and wasn't for that
It could be a better world yeah
(it could be a better world)

If it wasn't for this and wasn't for that
It could be a better world yeah
(it could be a better world)

Well I rest on the edge of the world confused
These motha' fuckas unaware of
What it might do
Winnin' fights losin' life fools you
Couldn't take the pressure
From the depths to the tippity
Top poppy on the measure
In this cold world frozen feelings
Ice broken no healin'
I drink the pain away an'
Rap about the cap peelin'
I'm not violent but contradictions of silence
So shut the fuck up cause nobody is my tyrant
Hit me with a sack yeah
That's what the devil said
Right after he cracked my angel's
Back and severed her head
Got no morals, I'm broke
Plus most my friends I hate
Not to say I wouldn't kick it
Wit' 'em I'm even fake
Can't speak on the problems I'm
Too scared to solve 'em
And fuck askin' questions my hands
Up they don't call 'em
That's kinda sad I'll only mention it in rap
But, I guess the truth is
Inappropriate so I laugh which is fucked up

If it wasn't for this and wasn't for that
It could be a better world yeah
(it could be a better world)

If it wasn't for this and wasn't for that
It could be a better world yeah
(it could be a better world)

This, that, it could be a (be a) better world

This, this, that world yeah
