Frankie Vado - If I Could lyrics

I hope you understand I'm not trying to be no preacher. And I'm not looking for no pity either. Alotta things I wish I could change. Been a crazy life so far and I'm still young. Know alotta people can relate. I'll just tell you a little bit about where I'm from. I'm from a place where people drink to bury pain Chuggin' Mad Dogs and Silver Thunders and Hurricanes Puffin' Mary Jane just to try to stay a little sane Fiends go insane just tryin' to find that little vein I know some people that would die for a little fame I know some people taking pride having little shame Maybe it's only me; I find that sh** a little strange Anybody else agree? I think we need a little change If I could rule the world things would be a lot different Used to be poverty stricken, without a pot to piss in I had to piss in the streets whenever we got evicted So it's no wonder why I spit with alotta conviction If I could rule the world, you better believe We'd get everything we'd ever wanted, everything we'd ever need Blind lead the blind; it's time to let 'em see Set 'em free, let 'em fly, let 'em dream If I could rule the world Everyone could live their dreams No more war with poverty So come and fly away with me If I...If I...If I could rule the world I literally came from nothing, no exaggeration Daddy never stuck around, Mommy died young I learned to survive young, more motivation No excuses, I gotta keep it moving I g-g-g-gotta make it See I was born in the gutter Came out of the rubble So I'm rhyming for anyone that ever truly struggled Gotta dream big; it's the only way I know how to be Daddy never there brought a higher caliber outta me Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, ain't you proud of me? Don't you kinda sorta regret it for walking out on me? Now you gotta witness me watching the world on top of my balcony You really wanna talk, it's cool, but try to shout to me I ain't listening; I'm on the verge of living my dream And I ain't missing it I would send my regards but I ain't spending no money shipping it I know it's sickening if I could rule the world it would be different If I could rule the world Everyone could live their dreams No more war with poverty So come and fly away with me If I...If I...If I could rule the world If I could rule the world Then we could fly away Don't gotta feel no pain Don't gotta die today See we could live a dream Don't gotta deal with stress Don't gotta be so broke Don't gotta deal with debt If I could rule the world Then we could fly away Don't gotta feel no pain Don't gotta die today See we could live a dream Don't gotta deal with stress Don't gotta be so broke Don't gotta deal with debt Look, I'm a product of my environment Born in a city that's dying to see me dying And trying to sell me hope but I'm broke so I ain't buying it Already got a grave but I ain't ready to lie in it Sick and tired of being sick and tired of everything Sick of bill collectors calling my house, just let it ring Wishing for better things, wish I could fly away Wish I had a set of wings If I could rule the world x2 If I could rule the world Everyone could live their dreams No more war with poverty So come and fly away with me If I...If I...If I could rule the world
