Would’ve Been
[Intro:]
Yeah, yeah, Roc town baby
Uh huh, yeah, chyeah

[Verse 1: Emilio Rojas]
I got a lot of complaints, I got a lot on my plate but shit, I'm eatin'
I could've been wet up or drownin' in that deep end
Could've been workin' a job, hurtin' my pride
It could've been worse but I'm determined to thrive
I ain't educated in colleges, financial aid, ain't no scholarships
I did all I could, even though I'm fatherless
I worked for it, so bleedin' for it don't bother us
I'm a masochist, that mean joy and pain is synonymous
I've seen a lot of shit go down in my younger days
People double over from hunger pains and I wasn't phased
I'm from a place where pedophiles fuck the underaged
When a child pregnant, they all runnin' the other way
Could have been my sister, I would've caught a fuckin' case
Cause a body bag the only way to put that scum away
But I'mma motivate my folks to put the drugs away
I ain't judgin', I'm just showin' there's another way

[Hook: Fred The Godson & Emilio Rojas]
Imagine what I could've been
Six feet where you would've been
Could've been lookin' at the pen
But I just took it to the pen, when, when
Imagine what I could've been
But instead, I imagine what they couldn't get
Now every day I live a dream, every day a different scene
If everything is what it seems
[Verse 2:]
Y'all see the way I rap, flow behind them bars
I could've been right behind them bars
Girls in Bahamas in pajamas all livin'
Could've been in back of hoopties, gettin' the car driven
Or ridin' round lookin' for you, on the crib
With a key, your bitch cookin' it too
Imagine that, use my father's gun
Bullets criss-cross, kill you with my daddy mack
I ain't have to rap tracks spittin' pain
Could've kept serving fiends, seen the tracks in they veins
I'm from the grounds raised in hell anyway
Nothing to lose, they said I would fail anyway
I was empty except for the first 3rd and the 15th
But still the odds was against me
What do you do when you the oldest out of six
Know if I wasn't flowin', I be loaing up that clip
I was lucky to put the snob away
Happy god showed me that it was another way
I was lucky to put the snob away
Happy god showed me that it was another way

[Hook: Fred The Godson & Emilio Rojas]
Imagine what I could've been
Six feet where you would've been
Could've been lookin' at the pen
But I just took it to the pen, when, when
Imagine what I could've been
But instead, I imagine what they couldn't get
Now every day I live a dream, every day a different scene
If everything is what it seems
