If - Intellectual

[Intro: Jackie Moore]

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

[Verse 1: Tom Wilson]

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 its 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

[Hook: Jackie Moore & Tom Wilson]

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

[Verse 2: Tom Pepe]

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

[Hook: Jackie Moore & Tom Wilson]

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

[Verse 3: Jester]

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

[Hook: Jackie Moore & Tom Wilson]

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

[Outro: Jackie Moore]

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

This, this, that world yeah
