JAY-Z
If We Had It
Lately ive been in a position
I've been thinking
Making tough decisions
Should i focus on bitches
Spit some songs that i've written
Mix some hits for a living or just..
Wash dishes in a kitchen
In kentucky fried chicken
While wishing that I didn't
Id be fixing on a mission to get myself a million
Fillin my pockets with bills of cocaine covered benjamins
Smokin on some medicine toking in a rolls royce
Roll around like wrestling
Joking about the old days
And how it all changed from empty pockets and no messages
See me performing on david letterman making cheddar better than
Fellas making bets on Mayweathers win and McGregors end
Sell my '06 accord for a corvette, a benz and a bently for the fam
Tell ya what i'd even buy a couple for my friends, im just sayin

Wouldn't it be nice if we could have it all
Wouldn't need much but that was not my goal
I would make it rain at like four in the morning
See a stadium flood at like every performance
Hear my fans chant especially choruses
Imma be like chance if I end up as fortunate
Poverty is a curse theres no remedy for it
The quality of economy s been heavily distorted

My closest bro just told me something of utmost importance
He goes "don't ever stop because you gotta keep going"
You got the dopest flow and your potential still dormant
Don't ever slow you gonna grow and ill be rooting for ya
Thanks bro, il make sho, when ill be taking over
That we're the top two competitors like pepsi and coca cola
Show up outta nowhere look like a high roller
Be the biggest plague in the game like im fuckin ebola
A new strain a new name a new soul controller
Butane in blue veins I'm workin like a motor
Never catch me sober but I never left composure
Straight faced poker see my face stained on a poster
Heat it up like toasters, you bitches melt and smolder
Spit hot fire like a fucking flame thrower
Stand tall, a soldier, immobile like a boulder
But I've been getting closer, cmon homie, we almost there!

Wouldn't it be nice if we could have it all
Wouldn't need much but that was not my goal
I would make it rain at like four in the morning
See a stadium flood at like every performance
Hear my fans chant especially choruses
Imma be like chance if I end up as fortunate
Poverty is a curse theres no remedy for it
The quality of economy has been heavily distorted
