What If?
[Intro]
Woi
Uh
Uh, uh, uh
Unnu run, run

[Verse 1]
All mi love is mommy and granny
I do it for di gang, that's every step
What if there was no more left?
What if di red ting in mi chest nah bless
Mi need more time just fi go conquer di quest
Testing, testing, lawd, mi ah bawl fi yuh answer mi question
Conversations an convos teach me a lesson fi talk to mi bredren
Pon a big man ting mi done stress tings
I'm different, we dey pon a mission
Holy moly, Skiifall, di magician
Dem say mi couldn't win this game
But di pain in mommy's eyes really rained
Super drained, this fucked up lane
Man who we ah go blamе fi dis shit
Man who we ah go blame fi dis shit

[Interlude]
Haffi build a foundation
An just don't and wander in any light
You can go еxplore
But go an spread yuh roots and yuh culture
Because di only roots and culture
Teach di youth dem something
[Verse 2]
Channel mi ancestors, no slave pon e ship
Funnel mi energy, buss a round out e clip
All of mi enemies dem silence e lip
Mi know say some of mi teachers
Ah dem woulda waan see I-man stay pon e bottom
I-man been pon e ride since 2020 autumn
All who coulda never did stop 'em
What if Virgil never showed mi love?
What if I was still in di street wid di thugs?
Never woulda mek no funds fi mi mom
Never woulda mek no bread, just crumbs
Shatter mi truth pon dem blasted gum
All weight pon mi back, dis ah big mountain
Carry this one and I hold it, I chose this one

[Interlude]
At dis point him music, I'm not against it
But it need guidance
If I didn't get any guidance from the 80s
In the 90s, would just be everybody own way
I am not here right now to guide certain tings
Everything run half bore

[Outro]
Answer di question, answer di question
What is yuh blasted intentions with I-man?
Answer di question, answer di question
What is yuh blasted intentions with I-man?
Man, who we ah go blame fi dis shit
