Lyrics

What If

[Pos]

This part of the tape is dedicated to my man Dilla

You're gonna be sorely missed my nigga, word

And this is the (WHAT~!) if portion of the tape

And what if... De La would have got, the "Do You" beat

That S.V. used from J.D. first

I mean, we wanted that joint BAD y'all

But - by the time we reached out for it

Jay let us know, my man got it and umm

They did their thing on it y'all but yo

This is our version of it, here it is

It's called "Relax"
