[Intro]

Yeah, I'm fuckin' with this

It's that classic shit, that gangsta shit, yeah

[Chorus]

Man I watched the sun go up but come down - sayin' what if?

Man I watched the tide roll in and roll out - sayin' what if?

Homie I play the block tryin' to get my packs off - sayin' what if?

Man if I get a shot, I could make it to the top - damn what if?

[Verse 1]

If I got on some pretty boy shit like Puffy

Niggas in the hood, man they just wouldn't love me

If I wore a suit every day like Jay-Z

Niggas would think I bump my fuckin' head and went crazy

If I put diamonds in my teeth like Baby

I wouldn't stand a chance of tryin' to sell like Shady

If I put out bullshit joints like AZ

Every chance niggas get, they'd try and play me

But I move around with a little .380

A nigga try to stunt, a nigga get sprayed B

If I smoked weed all day like Snoop do

I'd see the world different through my dilated pupils

If I bust dance moves on you like Usher

Niggas'll say "50 that ain't gangsta, fuck ya"

Man I'ma just keep doin' what I do

Cause niggas can't do me, better than I do, ha ha

[Chorus]

Man I watched the sun go up but come down - sayin' what if?

Man I watched the tide roll in and roll out - sayin' what if?

Homie I play the block tryin' to get my packs off - sayin' what if?

Man if I get a shot, I could make it to the top - damn what if?

[Verse 2]

What if I had blockbuster flicks like Will Smith?

And all the backpack niggas loved me like Mos Def

I'd probably be a cool-ass nigga like Ice Cube

Picture me in this flick right now lookin' so cool

What if I was a low-key nigga, just laid back?

Hustle to keep a homie 'round, somebody to hold the gat

Man what if Halle Berry was my next baby moms?

Shit I'd give that child support up with no problems

If I caught a case and jumped bail I'd get caught

Cause I'm that nigga everybody know from New York

But if I was the new rap nigga you didn't know

You'd be sayin' "Damn that kid got a sick flow"

What if I just cruised through your hood on 22's

Bumpin' Curtis Mayfield or Marvin, somethin' smooth

And if I let the top down on the Azure

Yeah that'd make you sick to your stomach I'm sure, ha ha

[Chorus]

Man I watched the sun go up but come down - sayin' what if?

Man I watched the tide roll in and roll out - sayin' what if?

Homey I play the block tryin' to get my packs off - sayin' what if?

Man if I get a shot, I could make it to the top - damn what if?
