Ok now picture this
I could've been gangsta
My birthplace opa locka
Could've been the place I came up
I could've hung with kids who ain't have dads and bagged the cane up
And wonder how the f*ck we all be down but yet they stay up
I could've asked the questions yea I could've
Learned the secrets
I could've started movin work
Like I delivered pizzas
I could've been ruthless nigga
The type of nigga when i fight i leave you toothless nigga
And if I lose the fight I'll come back and start shootin niggas
Cause ion lose my nigga
I could've been ridiculous
I could've been convicted
Caught up in all the systems, struggling for a pot to piss in
In and out the local prison
Livin life with supervision
I could've had a son
And let his momma raise him
See him on school vacations
Or when he misbehavin
This the life I could've lived, and not the one I'm in
This the shit I could've done, the things I could've been
O the things I could've been
The things I could've been
The things I could've been
The things I could've
O the things I could've been
The things I could've been
The things I could've been
The things I could've
I been wonderin all my life
If I been livin right
So hard to walk the straight line
And keep my goals in sight
So now I'm right here thinkin bout the shit I could've did
Or all, the things I could've been
I been a hooper all my life, this music new to me
I use to ball from day to night, I was a hoopin feen
I could've been in the big ten, and went to school for free
Or prolly skip the college route and just go overseas
I could've hit the league
I could've pick the heat
I could've hit em with the hessi then a killer tween
Shit I'll prolly do it now, I'm still chasin dreams
Bradda still be throwin down, i can flush it clean
I could've played in Tyler Perry's , got the invitation
Could've been the actor known for all his imitations
Always hangin with the stars for stardom preparation
Goin after bigger roles to show my separation
From the garbage, showin homage to the late and greatest
I'll be honest, I'd go on the are no limitations
Just know I'm happy bout the life that I live in
It's just so crazy when I think about the things I could've been
O the things I could've been
The things I could've been
The things I could've been
The things I could've
O the things I could've been
The things I could've been
The things I could've been
The things I could've
I been wonderin all my life
If I been livin right
So hard to walk the straight line
And keep my goals in sight
So now I'm right here thinkin bout the shit I could've did
Or all, the things I could've been
