IF I WANT by D. TUCKER
[Verse 1:]
From a kid I had BIG dreams
Of being on the screen
Mimicking everything I saw
From big shirts, and baggy jeans
But things change
And now I'm in the world
And things feel strange
Trying to get myself in a Range
For what?
To put my Titleist in the back and kick it by the range?
The only way I see that is bagging up these raps;
I swear to God man it's hard being young and black, but
I feel bless man
And seriously, are you telling me it doesn't look strange
If I pull up to the range in my Range?
They'll probably look and think I'm on the valet team;
f** it, I call it how I see it
You take it how you want it
I speak the truth and nothing but it
But what's even more f**ed up is
The way another black looks at you
But that's a different story
Moving on
It is the way it is right
Let it be
[Hook:]
I woke up one morning and
I looked in the mirror told myself that I can
And then I did it
Crossed my milestones out and set some new goals
And now it's me to the world
Me to the world
And I know
That I can't sing
But I'm going do it if I want
Yeah
But I'm going do it if I want
[Verse 2:]
Word playing
But we are not playing
Records slaying
It's either that or brick laying
No construction
I been had nothing
I rather make something of myself by laying bars on percussion
No discussion
It beats laying behind bars
And I'll fall asleep on the BAR like f** it
There's an exam in that
Examine that, throughly
And I'll go on living my life like a never ending movie, groovy
Let my anchors down there isn't no movie for me
Same thing goes
Let my anchors down there isn't no "move-ey" for me
So who's moving with me
We have a lot to accomplish
Malcolm did it
Obama did it
King did it
James did it
BIG did it
Sean did it
Jay did it
Ye did it
And one thing I can guaranty
Is that D. TUCKER
Yeah that's me
You'll have nothing but personal greatness from me
As well

And now it's me to the world
Me to the world
And I know
That I can't sing
But I'm going do it if I want
Yeah
But I'm going do it if I want
[Verse 3:]
I'll take another second
To say much thanks to my mom
Loosing my dad
It really f**ed with me so much
Eleven years old
Helped me find myself in the world
It didn't seem fair because it's not
No clowns over here
Red nose laughing
Treat black nose like dogs
And that's cold
I'm older
Understand the game
I learned the codes
Steady laying low
Moving product coast to coast
Music
Until my time comes
And when my time comes
The generosity of your investment comes back
And then your house comes
And then your car comes
And then your daughter in-law
And then your grandsons
You worked so f**ing much let me show you that life under the sun's fun mom. I said you worked so f**ing much let me show you that life under the sun's fun; come on, come on

Yeah
But I'm going do it if I want
