What If

J. Cole

This for everybody out there that ever fell out with somebody you love
Famous as a motherfucker
Just to look back and, yeah
Damn, it didn't have to go like that
What if?
What if?
What if?
What if the bullshit never got in the way?
You'd still be my nigga to this day
Sayin' what if?
What if?
What if?
What if?
What if the bullshit never got in the way?
I'd still have my nigga to this day

What's up, Pac?
I heard that record that you did that just dropped, it's bubblin'
Got me wonderin' when the love stopped
Hit Em Up, I'm like maybe I should
Right you be 'fore shit go left
The streets is a bit upset
You claimin' that you fucked my bitch
But, check, instead of escalatin'
At a time when niggas say: Big, let's decimate 'em
I'm tellin' him chill 'cause although he violatin'
In my heart I could never hate 'em
I love you
I hope it ain't to late to tell you when you got shot
I came to visit you at Bellview, but you was sleepin'
They let me peek in, I said a prayer by yo bedside
Bandages covered the bleedin'
I'm thinkin': Dawg, I told you
Watch the niggas you close to
I know dudes
And they won't hesistate to smoke you if shit go left
While you was locked I shoulda wrote you
But life happened, promo, mad shows to do
Still no excuse, I didn't do what I was 'posed to
And maybe that's what provoked you
To use your vocals to speak my name with a negative tone
As you stared at the walls of that cell on your own
Wonder how long it'd be until they'd let you come home and get your money
You maybe started lookin' at me funny
Perhaps you maybe felt that I betrayed you or played you
Or thought that I knew about that setup and coulda saved you
Or maybe that made you come out on some war shit
East Coast, West Coast, now media's tryna force it
Of course it's entertainment, but the world is full of ignoramus
That view the rich and famous as either heroes or villains with no feelin's
Not knowin' most drama only leads to mo' killin's
Well fuck that, nigga, I'm hurt
I miss my dawg, I ain't gotta hide
If I hurt you, I apologize
What if?
If I can turn back the hands of time
What if?
Turn back the hands of time
What if the bullshit never got in the way? (Ooh, yeah-ah)
You'd still be my nigga to this day
I'm sayin, what if?
If I can turn back the hands of time
What if?
Turn back the hands of time
What if the bullshit never got in the way? (Ooh-ooh)
I'd still have my nigga to this day

Uh, today was goin' to Vegas until I opened yo letter
I cried through all these pages
Been tryin' to get it together
I'm comin out to NY
I gotta find you in person to look you dead in yo eyes
And let you know I've been hurtin'
Been movin' off pure adrenaline never knowin' for certain who's on my side
And who's obliged for closin' my curtains
So in a mist with clinched fists I picked up this war
I know there's money in violence, I know there's profit in war
But shit I felt that you left me to hang
I gave you game
Rap for the bitches I said, saw you switched up yo lane
Your content resemblin' mine
I didn't complain, I cheered you on with no disdain
And at the same time, my destiny brought me pain
From kickin' it with some venomous niggas, I know the same
Ones that you warned me 'bout, I ain't listen
The trigger squeezed, my paranoia noticed you in the vacinity
So when they sentenced me
Lawyers milked for every penny, all I had inside that cell was my memory
And plus the fear that while I'm gone they forgettin' me
How niggas shoutin' me out, but never visit me? (Hah, nigga?)
And as the time crept, that mindset became a mission
You came to represent my opposition
So when I got out, I chose drama
Took the war out and went all out
And I care about the fall out
Suddenly now I got the mob out
Plus a whole side ready to ride
Now I gotta tell 'em stall out
'Cause tears fillin' my eyes
Yo letter helped me understand
The power in love, the choice to be the bigger man
Know shit got outta hand
I'll take the blame for it
For my mistakes, I couldn't take you gettin' slain for it
For fallin' victim to ego, vengence, and dollar signs
I wanna say from the heart: I apologize

What if?
If I can turn back the hands of time
What if?
Turn back the hands of time
What if?
What if the bullshit never got in the way? (Yeah-ah)
You'd still be my nigga to this day
I'm sayin, what if?
If I can turn back the hands of time
What if?
Turn back the hands of time
What if the bullshit never got in the way? (Time)
We'd still have them niggas to this day

What if? What if? What if? (Now, yeah)
What if? What if? What if?
What if? What if? What if? (Ooh)
What if? What if? What if? (Gee, yeah)
What if? What if? What if? (Yeah, un)
What if? What if? What if? (Yeah, un)
What if? What if? What if? (Dun-dun-dun-dun)
What if? What if? What if? (Ah)
What if? What if? What if?
What if? What if? What if?
What if? What if? What if? (What if?)
What if? What if? What if? What if?
Oh, yeah
Yeah
