Wiley – If I Could lyrics

The life I live is a fast one,
But even if I'm getting whole pies I would half some,
Course I think I'm top of the sport I do bar-none,
Won't change a thing and I can still have a chart run.
Still be a gargon, you grew up as a kid looking up to your older
And then you lose respect because you see what they show ya.
I wish I didn't have to be the one that they look to,
I don't condone the war that the youngers are put through,
Things have changed now,
But I come from the hood, too,
People say that never see me there but I'm hood dude!
Say the word lemon, I'll be there with the good food,
Certain man you see and they are not in the good mood.
I just let the world go by and I'll pace it,
If I draw a good picture, then another can trace it.
Mother dropped me in the world only for me to grace it,
I'm gonna leave my mark on the earth, place it, advanced not basic

If I could then I would change
Life's a battle I'm only one, somebody I can only do
So much and even I ain't worry, but I still stay strong, (I am the only one, oh!)
I tell em no man is a island
We all think they are but I'm breaking the silence

I wanna see us all on one time,
But if I'm on the bill then someone gotta spit one rhyme.
What they trying to do is light the show with me one sign,
Can't help the world Will you only need one mind.
You're only one mind, only got one life,
If you don't reverse and take it serious;
One might, deny you of your legacy,
And they ain't got one right
Well I record a batch of nine tracks in one night,
I work through the hours and then I meet with the sunlight.
I know I've got power, but I'm trying to channel it,
I know the weak can make the music, money and manage it.
Even starting from the floor I'll find the flow and unravel it,
Every time I watch the news blud it's making me sad a bit
I really need to change the channel over to happy vibes,
N-Dubz, Fazer, Tulisa, Dappy vibes.
Whoevers in the lime-light's got a good appetite,
I rate ya,how I'm gonna hate ya? Have it right, huh! (haha)

If I could then I would change
Life's a battle I'm only one, somebody I can only do
So much and even I ain't worry, but I still stay strong, (I am the only one, oh!)
I tell em no man is a island
We all think they are but I'm breaking the silence

If I could then I would change
Life's a battle I'm only one, somebody I can only do
So much and even I ain't worry, but I still stay strong, (I am the only one, oh!)
I tell em no man is a island
We all think they are but I'm breaking the silence
