Lyrics

If Only

[Intro: Grynch]

Yeah

Once you get a little age and Experience in you

You start viewing life from a whole other perspective

At least I do haha

Its like

[Hook: Grynch]

Sometimes I sit and think like if only

I had everything I wanted life would be bliss for me but

You gotta be grateful for what you can get homie

Cause somebody don't got nothing at all, Uh yeah

Sometimes I sit and think like if only

I had everything I wanted life would be bliss for me but

You gotta be grateful for what you can get homie

Cause somebody don't got nothing at all

No nothing at all

[Verse 1: C-Nik]

Ayo sometimes I sit and I think if only

I had everything I wanted life would be shit for me

Cause I wouldn't have to strive to survive I'd sit homie

It's the strife, the highlights the high points to life

It's a new today tomorrow so I think that I stand on my own two

Adjacent with the pavement and sand as I go through

My mazes on my path as a man, I can hope to and

Blaze on the mic with my glass hands shit and

I be rocking till' my clocks stop and my block drops

To the center of the earth with the hot rocks

Yo its a long shot, but I got a long time

They said Grynch was a dreamer but he's doing just fine

So why should I, wait for my moment of truth

While I'm still bathing in the fountain of youth

I'm blessed by the lord yes, I thank the skies

Everything's out of the question but, can I try? shit

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Macklemore]

I wanna be signed, I wanna be famous

I wanna gleam in those lights that make us

So bright that we forget what has shaped us and

That's the struggle and the fight for greatness

I check the check we state and whatever we survival

Go into debt and attempts it lookin' just like our idols

Self esteemed marketing, self our self consciously

We measure our self worth by other people's property

You get it, you got it, you want it - that's the summer life

Being in a coffin and waitin' to get my money right

It's not sustainable, if you believe in that dream

Their selling in HD then homie they're playing you

I'm not saying I do get play too

But at the end I paint the picture and I get to choose the hue

To every time that I forget I come back to that truth

And I accumulate it on the pad right to this booth, come on

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Grynch]

Now i'll be honest sometimes I take a lot for granted

With out thinking like, what if these seeds had not been planted

In my life its like I don't appreciate

What I got till its gone I gotta stop for real its wrong

These days I'm trying to do right and be a better person

And keep my love ones close man I would never hurt them

The good things In life they not gon last

It's been a hard lesson learned ever since Bob Dog passed, shit

Sometimes I feel like I'm loosing my fate

So I sit back and twist a cap on a brew to escape

Just tryna find a way out to numb the pain

Lost in the wilderness tryna find shelter from the rain

But, lately I felt that maybe I'm selfish

Sometimes its to the point where I can't even help it

Grew up an only child a spoiled brat

It coulda stayed that way, but sell dignity foiled that

So I'm gonna take this time out to speak for my soul

To everyone I know and love there's something I need you to know

I ain't ashamed or embarrassed to say this under my breath

It be a motherfucking crime y'all I love y'all to death

So when the going gets rough I think it could be worse for me

My mother almost died when she was giving birth to me

So charish every step, and cherish every breath

And maybe one day you'll see one day day that you're very blessed yup

[Hook]
