And they say, and they say And they say, and they say they say, they say, they say A lot of stuff, y'know what I mean? Don't know where I coulda been If I wasn't doin' this thing right here, shit, yo If I wasn't rappin' I probably be wrastlin' Hand to hand grapplin' on the corner of Madison Or real-estating, trying to sell you a mansion Or rollerblading doing three-sixty flat spins Or I'd probably be flipping a burger Attempting a murder, paralyzed sippin' on Gerber I could be working at Jewels, chain snatching Jerking your jewels, homeless working for food I might be cleaning your pool, teaching your school, preaching to fools Leeching, smoking weed to be cool At DMV's holding lines up Or wind up in line-ups, the time's up Full of holes in a hole in a fine tux Out on parole, out of control, holding your dime up I could be lazy, sitting on your couch Or I could be crazy, cussing pigeons out I could be hustlin' bags Strugglin' bad If I wasn't up in the lab, shit I just might be cuttin' your grass Walkin' your dog, pumpin' your gas Or nothin' at all I could be hustlin' bags Strugglin' bad If I wasn't up in the lab, shit I just might be cuttin' your grass Walkin' your dog, pumpin' your gas Or nothin' at all I could be thanking the academy A friend of the family, your man delivering bail Or I could be the man that delivers your mail Or I could be taking the stand drinking on L This could be my third life, my third strike Or my third wife, or garbage on my first mic I could've got off easy, that nigga deserved life Or the Orkin man searching for termites I could be sticking up convenience stores Or twisting up what you fiending for Or gettin' bucked with the meanest whores Or been giving up, on top of a building leaning forward, with no wings to soar it They could've kidnapped my daughters Been extorted for a couple of Porsches I might be drunk from the Moe', stumblin' slow Someone you know, running the show, or shoveling snow, shit I could be hustlin' bags Strugglin' bad If I wasn't up in the lab, shit I just might be cuttin' your grass Walkin' your dog, pumpin' your gas Or nothin' at all I could be hustlin' bags Strugglin' bad If I wasn't up in the lab, shit I just might be cuttin' your grass Walkin' your dog, pumpin' your gas Or nothin' at all I could be starting guarding, or planting the garden, or security guarding Or I could be starving and eating out your garbage And found stardom and starring in sitcoms with Martin I could've been marching with Martin Handcuff, nullface, over the face with no comment I might not even be dark-skinned I might not even be conscious, comatose from a overdose A R&B singer blowing the notes A tailor sewing the coat, a sailor rowing the boat I could've boxed a little, fought for the title Lost, and lost my vitals on the way to the hospital I could've lost my business Won the lotto and lost my ticket I could be the last one to cross the finish Shit, I could be you, I could be him, he could be me, we all got a job Shit, I just might be cuttin' your grass Walkin' your dog, pumpin' your gas Or nothin' at all I could be hustlin' bags Strugglin' bad If I wasn't up in the lab, shit I just might be cuttin' your grass Walkin' your dog, pumpin' your gas Or nothin' at all I could be hustlin' bags Strugglin' bad If I wasn't up in the lab, shit I just might be cuttin' your grass Walkin' your dog, pumpin' your gas Or nothin' at all
