If Only
Rahn Lyrics

As the world turns
As time passes and things constantly change

And we spinnin' with it's axis
We are moving along with the Earth's rotation

Connecting with the feeling when the rhythm gimme access
Feeling a connection to the music and getting into a rhythm

I'm reeling in a big ass fish out where the bass is
Having success and catching something significant in life

Then I'm back to the city where I mingle with the masses
Returning to a more ordinary life after experiencing something special

Through all the drugs I did permanent damage
Drug use has had lasting negative effects

I fell asleep until the amber started burning the canvas
Waking up when there is danger or something important happening

How'd he plan this can't say I did yo I'm just tryin' to manage
Not knowing how things ended up this way but trying to deal with it

When these blessings read you the message use it to ur advantage
Taking advantage of opportunities and using them to improve oneself

Cuz I can play it cool or be life of the function
Being able to adapt to different social situations

I'm the type to take ya mom maybe or ya wife to a luncheon
Being able to impress important people with one's social skills

Anywhere I lack in rappin' make it back I production
Compensating for any weaknesses in one area by excelling in another

When that ship sailed Later it's sunken
Missing out on opportunities and regretting it later

I put one foot in front of the other and still trip
Despite making progress, still facing challenges and setbacks

I don't hesitate my speech when I stutter I still spit
Not letting insecurities or flaws get in the way of expressing oneself

And when I smoke weed in front of my mother she still flip
Disappointing or angering loved ones despite making progress in life

She prolly still think I'm not on my shit
Feeling misunderstood and underestimated by others

If only you knew
Expressing a desire for others to understand and recognize one's true worth

Cuz some things change
Acknowledging that people and circumstances can change

It must feel strange
Recognizing that others may feel confused or surprised by the changes in oneself

Cuz I was stuck in my ways
Having been resistant to change in the past

And they were counting my days
Others had low expectations for me and my future

I got at least a millions dollars worth of work on my laptop
Having a lot of valuable work and potential stored digitally

No one stopping my goals it's time to serve up a slap shot
Feeling confident and driven to achieve success

Sample something until the uncut turn crack rock
Experimenting with new ideas and techniques until finding success

Three strikes and he's out the balls hittin' the backstop
Facing consequences for mistakes or failures

Aim for the fences but he swing and he miss
Taking big risks but not always succeeding

It's dinner time I scarf it down and then you cleaning my dish
Enjoying the rewards of hard work and having someone else take care of the rest

Feed em dessert don't leave it sweet when they being dismissed
Making sure to end things on a positive note even when things are ending or changing

Water speak when it drip flowing I sleep with the fish
Being in tune with one's surroundings and finding peace

Although my presence underwater know my mind at the surface
Being aware of both internal and external realities

Talk my shit on a beat but ain't no different in person
Being genuine and true to oneself in all situations

But first twisting my messages it's written in cursive
Having to work hard to express oneself clearly and accurately

I'm the topic like my hooks keep complimenting my verses
Being perceived as skilled and talented in one's work
