 Where would I be? Look, sometimes I feel like I don't know where I'd be at If it just ain't for rap Would I be outside on a corner trying to make some scratch? Would I be flippin' on some burgers at a McDonald's branch? Would I be pippin' on some bitches call me Big Mac? Give me some books, I'm headin' right off to a private school It would be hard cause fuck it that skin, I don't follow rules Now, I've probably been the teacher over, yeah I might as well But if the Dean found out then my ass would get expelled Followin' my father, yeah I think I'd be a jeweler My ice would be so fuckin' cold, I think I'd need a cooler Or maybe with my mother, importing all the fashion I'd probably dress up in the clothes and then I get to dancin' I really love people, always see how the strangers Maybe an architect, buildin' on skyscrapers I have a green thumb, maybe a landscaper I pick me a rose and plant some hydrangeas I'm too fuckin' dumb to become an astronaut I smoke myself a charter with all this hash and pot Maybe just a chronic, chillin' out and blowin' big smoke Maybe an accountant takin' money from the rich folks Where would I be if it just ain't for rap? Where would I be if it just ain't for rap? Where would I be if it just ain't for rap? If it just ain't for rap? God forbid I'd be comin' alcoholic Drinkin' all my pain away, no other way to solve it Without my poetry, shit, my life would be in shambles Withdrawing my inheritance so I can go and gamble Without my music, I was slippin' to depression Nobody at the club, ain't nobody on my guest list I'm feelin' stressed out, vexed out my chest now My one and only, my homie, yeah, that's my best pal Music and me, like I was Nate Dogg grip I love my fans, it's really I wanna thank y'all The moral of the story, I'm in love with tunes I get a certain high, look like I was bite in shrooms I love the way at the stage, there's always groupie hoes Forbid the day that I never hit the studio And that's real talk I love this rap shit Where would I be if it just ain't for rap? See if it just ain't for rap
