Lyric If Only
It s all so quiet in here
If only - I got s to do this
If only - yeah
[Rapverse1 (Isam)]
I know I m takin ya for granted as hell
Don t care, never talk, when we do, not well
Come home, all tired and straight to bed
U b like; remember salaat
And I be like; forget that
I missed the first 4
Anyhow can t deny my conscious is broke
Double standard - 100, ask me why and I choke
Sistas stay home while brothas hit the clubs
Tale spinning on fast lanes, drinking all up
I give a damn about u d walk a 1000 miles for me
I won t even go down to the nearest corner shop for ya
Food on the table every time I run home
Praying while the TV is on, my focus all gone
Can t take ya serious when ya blame me for ya misery
Why can t ya be mo like his or her son, I m sick of it
I wish I could turn back the hands of time
If I could, if I could
I would be ya perfect son
Instead of these tears in du a
[Chorus]
Oh my friend
Can t take it anymore
The pain, the rain, the good times missin
Help me sing
If only - we could be down
If only - we d work it out now
If only - we ll be strong, we got s to keep on holdin on
[Rapverse2 (Waqas)]
It wasn t love at first sight, not even the first night
Came later build on mutual respect insight
Ok we argue a lot yaaaaa told u I was leaving
So we say stupid things when we mad but we don t mean em
Come on how did u expect us to connect so fast
We knew zero about each other got hooked up by my mother
U was digging Bollywood while I was in to beats and rhymes
Before it all was about me
Now it s all about us
You see relationship s build on support and trust
And we had cracks in both
We came close to a divorce
Then he came in and things got better we thought
All though diapers for our baby s bootie we could barely afford
For now me and you we scrubbing floors together
But someday inshallah we gonna floss together
It s been a bumpy ride so far we ll face it together
No matter the weather
It s me you and ours forever
[Chorus]
[Rapverse3 (Lenny)]
Si solo yo pudiera
Viajar en el tiempo
Si solo yo pudiera
Volver por un momento
Y sentarme junto a usted
Y hablar de hijo a padre
Sentarme junto a usted
De amigo a compadre
Le diria hay una cosa que no se debe de olvidar
La familia es lo primero, es elemental
Pero supongo que en este punto
Somos diferentes y como reprocharle
Si usted es el ausente
Y ahora que ya no esta de que sirve
No se quien tuvo la culpa pero una cosa quiero decirle
Mi madre me hizo hombre
Ella es fuerte y con orgullo
A ella le debo todo mi pasado mi futuro
[Translation]
If only I could
Travel back in time
If only I could
Go back for a moment
And sit down with you
And talk son to father
Sit down with you
Friend to companion
I would tell you there is a thing you can t forget
The family is number one, is essential
But I guess that in this aspect
We re different and how can I reproach you
If you have always been absent
And now that you re gone it doesn t make a difference
I don t know who s fault it is
But one thing I want to tell you
My mom made me a man
She is strong and proud
To her do I own everything
My past and my future
[Bridge]
Why why so quiet
Baby ya think by now
We d knew any better
Why all this fightin
Maybe we should talk
Instead of all this hidin
[Chorus]
[Ending]
Nobody
Holdin us down
No more
Oh no
If only - I got s to do this
If only - yeah
