Bun B - If it Was Meant to Be lyrics

Ah, Ah, Ah, Father live my life (2000) Tryin' to do what's right, Ah If it was meant to be, I'll store a whole key, and push a Bentley Build my own mansion on Mars, go down in history If it was meant to be, I'd go platinum in a day An If it was meant to be there'd be no po-lice where I stay [C-Note] Oh well, I live in Hell I'm trapped up in this ghetto Crack sales, we livin' well But still ain't nuttin' to let go If it was meant to be, so set yourself free If we ever make it out this ghetto I sold my sh** to C, that's on me I'm jus a G, I'm tryin' to get my life together I know through all the sunshine there be some frightning weather I ever, you gotta live your life slow If ya a** in a rush you might get trapped in the snow With, nowhere to go, nowhere to hide An if, it was meant to be, I'd be nation wide (nation wide) Give me the world an all that's left up in it Bump-in nation, ridin' broke while rich an independent [Revised Hook] If it was meant to be then everybody I know would be a G An all the homies doin' time in the pen be set free If it was meant to be, I'd go platinum in a day An If it was meant to be there'd be no po-lice where I stay [Godfather] If it was meant to be, I'd be a millionaire the next century It's '99, Juelzie's out the penitentiary Drug game done crashed, jus like the stock market But weed'll never stop sellin, give me the blunt an spark it If it was meant to be, God'll let me see tomorrow Gotta go work for mine, I never had to borrow And as for friends, that's somethin' that I never had I love my mother to d**h, but what about my dad? If it was meant to be, none of us would have to struggle I pressed my luck with the Sotas to make my money double A man of life, no stress no bills I know some people that's broke, that wanna go an k** If it was meant to be, you would have fame and fortune Die a sinner, you'd go to Hell where it's scorchin' So when the y2k, I found a new way I make my own decisions, Don't care whatchu say... [Revised Hook - C-Note] If it was meant to be, I'd be known world wide Four or five differnt Bentley's, parked outside If it was meant to be (meant to be), I'd be locked behind bars But still I'd rather ball with young ghetto stars [Bun B] Say man I'd already be platinum An I'd already be rich I'd already be in a house on a hill with a bad b**h An I'd already be settin' trends in a 2001 Bendz Lookin' at super models through a Cardy LN's An I'd already be at the top of billboard for a month An I'd already be on stage in the Summit with a blunt I don't tool wit Lauryn Hill, not even bar an steel Man I'd already know how to inside of a foreign field An I'd already know how much they love me over seas And how to blow a grand in quilla in Amsterdam wit clover G's An I'd already know how tight my name in lights would look at night While blowin' chocolate mixed with hash mixed with flight Man I'd already know who k**ed Malcolm X and Kennedy An who my real fathers was from n***as who pretend to be I'd already be readin on everybody who hate If it was meant to be man I wouldn't even have to wait If it was meant to be (x3) (Music Fades) (Talking)
