If Only Life

Worse first greater later

You gotta look into the mirror and see great in the making

You gotta think of everyday as the day that you make it

You gotta dream don't let nobody shape it or change it

Worse first it get greater if you make it to later

You gotta look into the mirror at great in the making

You gotta think of every day as the day that you make it

You gotta dream don't let nobody shape it or change it

I was right every time

If only life was like VHS and I could rewind

If only life was as easy as granny baking pies

I wish I paid more attention I done dove into situations I coulda died

Let opportunities pass by when I shoulda tried

Applaud niggas who keep it real when they coulda lied

Of all things my perseverance what set me apart

I'll never trust nobody else that wasn't there from the start

I'll never love nobody else I need the rest of my heart

I'm investing in thought

Resurrecting my emotions buried deep in my past

Sometimes challenges interfere with my balance

But I keep it intact

Keep a close watch on my mental you can't be too exact

People pick at me to see me react devil bringing me back

Both my hands around my kids with my feet in a trap

I never said it was a steal I never took it for that

I never knew how much it took until I took it for granted

If only life was as simple as what you see in the movies

So I can press fast forward I wanna see what happens

I'm tryna get right in this life

I got a cousin through a cousin been away for like a dozen when he come home it's gone feel like he just did life

It get greater if you make it to later

You gotta look into the mirror and see great in the making

You gotta think of everyday as the day that you make it

You gotta dream don't let nobody shape it or change it

Worse first it get greater if you make it to later

You gotta look into the mirror at great in the making

You gotta think of every day as the day that you make it

You gotta dream don't let nobody shape it or change it
