Phora - What If lyrics

[Verse 1: Phora] Yeah what if I met God, what would he say? Would he love me like his child? Would he look at me and turn away? Would he be ashamed? Cause I know I have my share of sins I know I have my share of rules that I bent Things that I've done, I'll regret as long as I live I'm not proud of what I did Damn, but lately I'm trying to make it right Lately I'm trying to find myself through the pain I've been looking for answers So I've been praying every night Yeah I'm praying every night, but I feel like I never get a reply Feel like I'm always left asking myself why Like why would my people feeling low, we get high I'm just trying to get by What if I got rich? What would I be? Would I be the type that never break bread And only look out for me? My n***a don't you see? This sh** was never for me It was for the fam, but if I got rich Would people start coming around While plotting to take advantage of who I am I'm learning to be a man, yeah but that really takes time And I ain't really got patience dog Too much sh** up on my mind Damn, but I'm really trying to cope with this sh** Drifting away from family, we ain't spoke in a bit Guess it's cause I'm too proud to ask for help So I just sit in my room and I ask myself, "What if?" [Verse 2: Phora] Yeah what if I blew up? You think I'd change? Would I be faithful to the girl? I wouldn't f** with the groupies cause of the fame There's no one else to blame I know I've done wrong so many times Responsible for all the tears coming from my eyes I'm sick of myself, sick of the games and the lies I just hate to see you cry What if I went broke? Where would they go? Would they all stick around to watch me fall Or just disappear slow, man I don't really know If I lost everything would they forget What if I lost all of my money, all of these whips All of the fame, all the people, all of my chips Would they all just dip? What if I didn't have music? Where would I be? sh** honestly I'd probably be in the streets Trying to hustle a G, G in the white of the green Whatever you need, up in the A.M Running the block with the fiends Rolling around with a nine tucked in my jeans And I'd probably end up like a "Boys in The Hood" scene There's a better way to be What if I met you? What would you think? I just hope that I inspire you with ever single word that I speak If you got to know me Well we probably ain't too different from each other Why the world got to be so distant from each other? What if we just learned to love and listened to each other What if?
