What If

(Verse 1 - Jadakiss)

Take a second, what if we could rewind the hood?

Better yet, what if the

L.O.X. woulda signed with

Suge?What if

Puffy never signed us?

What if Oprah made them comments like

Imus?What if you designed this?

Thought like

I didSaid it like this

What if Peyton was fightin' dogs instead of

Mike Vick?

What if Arnold woulda just let

Tookie give life?

What if B.

I.G. missed the party?

What if 'Pac missed the fight?

What if you was caged in?

What would you change then?

What if there was no

Rocafella law for made men?

What if hate ran through me?

And what if

PortlandWould've drafted

Jordan instead of

Sam Bowie?

What if you really had to be nice to get a deal?

What if all of these rappers' ice was really real?

What if I hit you with the razor from cheek to chin?

What if Mike

Jackson never would have bleached his skin?(Chorus X2 - Jadakiss)

What if you never knew things that you needed to know?

What if you never been places you needed to go?

What if you get there, and learned them as you go?

What if is the question, can

I ask then once more?[Verse 2 - Jadakiss]

What if the pain went away?

What if you changed in a day?

What if you can eliminate all the games people play?

What if Shyne beat the case?

What if Diddy did a dime flat?

What if Nelson

Mandela could give his time back?

What if Malcolm was silent?

What if Martin was violent?

What if you could really sneak a

Uzi on the island?

YeahWhat if

I made you kiss the nina?

What if a brick was only just a misdemeanor?

What if Manhattan was hit by

Hurricane

Katrina?What if a black man was the one controlling

FEMA?What if we ain't never let emotions come between us?

What if the last time we rode, somebody seen us?

What if...(Chorus X2)(Verse 3 - Nas)

I flow calm, but don't push

What if Saddam hung

Bush?What if

One Mic was called

One Hook?What if the bridge never showed me how to hold a weapon?

What if I ran up in that sick chick with no protection?

What if I never wore that army jacket?

Carhartt to match it

Unlaced Timbs, the hood on my first album cover under plastic

What if I was another corny rapper?

What if I went instead of

Notorious, who would tell my story after?

What I loved less and lust more?

If Obama was on

Mount Rushmore?

Would Ali give

Tyson a busted jaw?

What if I never glared out the project window?

Whenever scared for me and the life of my kinfolk?

What if that gun pin broke?

I would have never leaned back in an

EnzoAll red

What if real niggas was all dead?

What if Hiliary and them were reptilian?

And 20-12 was the end of men, and all world civilians?(Chorus X2)
