If I Could Lyrics - Singles - Frankie Vado

I hope you understand I'm not trying to be no preacher. And I'm not looking for no pity either. Alotta things I wish I could change. Been a crazy life so far and I'm still young. Know alotta people can relate. I'll just tell you a little bit about where I'm from. 

I'm from a place where people drink to bury pain 

Chuggin' Mad Dogs and Silver Thunders and Hurricanes 

Puffin' Mary Jane just to try to stay a little sane 

Fiends go insane just tryin' to find that little vein 

I know some people that would die for a little fame 

I know some people taking pride having little shame 

Maybe it's only me; I find that shit a little strange 

Anybody else agree? I think we need a little change 

If I could rule the world things would be a lot different 

Used to be poverty stricken, without a pot to piss in 

I had to piss in the streets whenever we got evicted 

So it's no wonder why I spit with alotta conviction 

If I could rule the world, you better believe 

We'd get everything we'd ever wanted, everything we'd ever need 

Blind lead the blind; it's time to let 'em see 

Set 'em free, let 'em fly, let 'em dream 

If I could rule the world 

Everyone could live their dreams 

No more war with poverty 

So come and fly away with me 

If I...If I...If I could rule the world 

I literally came from nothing, no exaggeration 

Daddy never stuck around, Mommy died young 

I learned to survive young, more motivation 

No excuses, I gotta keep it moving 

I g-g-g-gotta make it 

See I was born in the gutter 

Came out of the rubble 

So I'm rhyming for anyone that ever truly struggled 

Gotta dream big; it's the only way I know how to be 

Daddy never there brought a higher caliber outta me 

Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, ain't you proud of me? 

Don't you kinda sorta regret it for walking out on me? 

Now you gotta witness me watching the world on top of my balcony 

You really wanna talk, it's cool, but try to shout to me 

I ain't listening; I'm on the verge of living my dream 

And I ain't missing it 

I would send my regards but I ain't spending no money shipping it 

I know it's sickening if I could rule the world it would be different 

If I could rule the world 

Everyone could live their dreams 

No more war with poverty 

So come and fly away with me 

If I...If I...If I could rule the world 

If I could rule the world 

Then we could fly away 

Don't gotta feel no pain 

Don't gotta die today 

See we could live a dream 

Don't gotta deal with stress 

Don't gotta be so broke 

Don't gotta deal with debt 

If I could rule the world 

Then we could fly away 

Don't gotta feel no pain 

Don't gotta die today 

See we could live a dream 

Don't gotta deal with stress 

Don't gotta be so broke 

Don't gotta deal with debt 

Look, I'm a product of my environment 

Born in a city that's dying to see me dying 

And trying to sell me hope but I'm broke so I ain't buying it 

Already got a grave but I ain't ready to lie in it 

Sick and tired of being sick and tired of everything 

Sick of bill collectors calling my house, just let it ring 

Wishing for better things, wish I could fly away 

Wish I had a set of wings 

If I could rule the world 

x2 

If I could rule the world 

Everyone could live their dreams 

No more war with poverty 

So come and fly away with me 

If I...If I...If I could rule the world
