[Verse 1:] Life ain't fair and sometimes it get black Like the Nike Airs and that's when I go back Back, where to the block, where the dreams never stop Cause it's hard to dream when your dream was being on top And you already there, so you look down into the city and see Life ain't what it used to be Kids fantasize about how a Phantom rides If you attract a star then welcome to the enterprise Hop in a spaceship and fly, fly away Pass the clouds where Marvin Gaye and Tupac stay And never wanna come back like Jam Master Jay Matter fact, close your eyes and just pass away
[Chorus:] If you could see straight through my eyes, If I left this world tomorrow and say goodbye, If you could take one thing with you, what would it be? If you could be with me
[Verse 2:] You wouldn't be hearing this if it was for Lupe He inspired what I wrote bought his album today Then I threw it in my car and let the CD play You are a superstar is what the CD say And on the eve of this morning I'm like Stevie J Making love to the music like when Stevie play When I rap the hood listen ghetto T.D. Jakes And the devil tried hard just to see me break That's when I switch switch cars and I cross my heart Knowing that I'm God's Son like the belly of Nas I used to dream hard about being in 'Belly' with Nas Even the ghetto Mozart couldn't play that part Like the Eli Manning's when they play that hard Everybody ain't a Giant but they play that card And that card is dealt, and then blows are felt Like a Mayweather jab that lands below the belt Yeah
[Chorus:] If you could see straight through my eyes, If I left this world tomorrow and say goodbye, If you could take one thing with you, what would it be? If you could be with me
[Verse 3:] Light a candle in the dark and lead yourself to the light And when you there blow it out so you can sleep through the night The sun rise in the morning and your future get bright Bright as the ice in my ear its like a movie premiere And you can be Denzel heres your Oscar tip If you can memorize your lines without reading the script Then you can walk through the forest while you standing still you might get lucky like Forest 20 million a film And with that, you can buy yourself a football field Build a field of dreams for kids who got that skill Marry a legend like Jada did if you got that will But laugh now cry later if you pop that pill Seemed fun for a moment but it's not that real Cause your life is ice cold and you got that chill So tomorrow when wake and you spin that wheel Just remember what I told you from on top that hill It's real!
[Chorus] If you could see straight through my eyes, If I left this world tomorrow and say goodbye, If you could take one thing with you, what would it be? If you could be with me
