Maybe

Maybe if I didn't get caught up in the life
Maybe if I didn't run out so fast
Maybe if I'd just slowed down at the light
Maybe you might
Maybe you might just still be here
You might just still be here
But that's just maybe

You never see the picture through
A fools eyes when you know your people you
Ain't gotta choose sides
From the bottom we done came up and
The time they made us wait
We vowed to make them niggas pay up
I swear to god we had a dream
Eventually we'd blow the graceful
Covers of them magazines
Excuse my feelings, I just need a moment
Just some personal shit I need to get on with
You see I try to block it out
But you was bout to kill the game and
Them niggas couldn't do nothing about it
Blow out the smoke then I take a swig
Just reflecting on the things we said as kids
Maybe if I wasn't incarcerated
I'd have been
There with you to fight the devil
And then you'd probably made it
But then you caught a head shot
And now my heart is nothing but a dead spot

Maybe if I didn't get caught up in the life
Maybe if I didn't run out so fast (fast)
Maybe if I'd just slowed down at the light
(light) maybe you might
(might) maybe you might just
Still be here (church)
You might just still be here
(sho' mane) but that's just maybe

Bottom to the top top to the
Bottom see we rolling in
The game if he my nigga then I got em
Certain things in life just go
Unexplained, death's a sure thing
Kids left to hold your name
This' for my homies on the other side
We see you short but try hard
Not to fuck up my stride
Sheisty bitches won't fuck up my
High put the key
In the ignition and jump in the ride
Just tryin to find a peace of mind
This nasty nigga 's trynna take
A piece of mine lifes a sheet of paper just
Stay in the lines
Maybe if I'd read between the
Lines you'd still be alive

Maybe if I didn't get caught up in the life
Maybe if I didn't run out so fast
Maybe if I'd just slowed down at the light
Maybe you might
Maybe you might just still be here
You might just still be here
But that's just maybe
