Tell me what would happen
If I stopped making music for myself
And I started making music for the wealth
Dawg, I'm really wondering what would happen
Would I lose my edge with those loose rhymes?
New times, counting all them old dimes
Tell me what would happen if I wasn't just a rapper
Maybe just a singer?
Would you put me through the ringer?
Tell me what would happen if I didn't have the passion that I do now
Would I be another addict?
Just another tick added to a sick list?
Would you treat me like I'm viscious?
Tell me what would happen if my skin wasn't this color
Would you treat me like a little brother?
Would you let me suffer?
Tell me what would happen if I died in a tragic way
Would old friends come back around on my final days?
Say we were tight before they put me in the dirt?
Tell me what would happen I would really like to know
