[Skittles] In another life, I might be fine with finding what's inside me With something other than timing and rhymes for you guys to vibe with Knocking about in libraries Searching for the biggest book that I could find To put my head inside and try and hide it It might be fine being the quiet guy I haven't tried it I tend to be more surprising to guys that'll keep it private In another life, I might not be impressing you guys In another life, I might have just been destined to die In another time, you might have caught me singing the blues In a smoky room, jamming with a couple of dudes In another life, it might be you [?] my shoes While I'm out grabbing food with your wife and you're you And I'll be asking you for two [?] And you'll be spitting this too, and producing a tune In another life, I might not have been able to speak And I would topping tables seven days of the week [Skittles and JSD] In another time, would I discover rhymes? Or be some other guy, and never do this sh** (and never do this sh**)? In another life, would I touch a mike? We've discovered why we're on a music tip [JSD] In another life, would I be sitting, spitting with Skits? Would I be richer than rich, with six hips in a whip All itching to strip? Would I promote peace to the people? Or would I be evil with six in a clip? Would I be [?] meeting your Royal Highness? Or would I be involved in minors' violence? Or fight under the sirens? Would I still be called J or would my name be Chum? Would I have three kids with no baby mum? Ten cousins and then dozens of aunties? Or would I be homeless with [?] and seven families? All sleeping rough, eating stuff we could find Yo, that song's like an image that's stuck in my mind
This is how I'm living, still stuck in the grind And you can see your future, keep looking, you'll find And in another time, I probably couldn't write What person would I be in another life? [Skittles and JSD] In another time, would I discover rhymes? Or be some other guy, and never do this sh** (and never do this sh**)? In another life, would I touch a mike? We've discovered why we're on a music tip [Skittles] In another life, we might not be expressing our feelings [JSD] We could be sleeping with demons [Skittles] And not revealing our meanings [JSD] I mean, we could be keeping secrets, what we see when we're dreaming [Skittles] You'll judge a book by it's cover when it's looks are deceiving I've even thought of being [?] [JSD] Big house, flash car, private doctors, no national healthcare! [Skittles] I could be up at six, gritting the roads [JSD] Forget that, I was up at five, delivering post [Skittles] In another life I could have been addicted to rock [JSD] In another life, I could be facing six in the dark [?] [Skittles] In another life, I could be making hits in my loft [JSD] And in another time, the same said hits would have flopped [Skittles] In another life I could have been king of the world [JSD] In another life, I could have had a thing with your girl [Skittles] In another life we could have be considered as pricks [JSD] He could have been J [SKittles] And he could have been Skits [Skittles and JSD] In another time, would I discover rhymes? Or be some other guy, and never do this sh** (and never do this sh**)? In another life, would I touch a mike? We've discovered why we're on a music tip
