If I Can Lyrics

If I can give you the world, that's just what I do

Canada, Mexico, Panama, Haiti, Peru

Italy, Finland, Nigeria, Fiji, Liberia

Feel like a swim then I'll get you Lake Superior too

Never knew a truer love, till you threw up on my shoe

Wasn't even mad at all, wiped it off, smiled through it

At that moment, I discovered what was bubbling and been brewing

In my stomach wasn't hunger that was love, and it was you that came along A

Grandma warned me that the bond would be this strong A

Have me wrapped around your pinky writing songs A

Apparently, as you can see, she wasn't wrong A

She wasn't wrong

But there will be times I might be, though highly unlikely

Moments you'll dislike me, cause you're stubborn just like me

We gon' kick and scream, say some things we don't mean, buggin' out

Take em back, apologize

Wipe our eyes and hug it out, that's love

If I can, I will

If I can, I will

I hope you never have to question

You're my baby and my best friend

If I can, I will

If I can, I will

No, I won't never treat you less than

You're my baby and my best friend

I'll never forget when you said Madison's your best friend now

Couldn't believe when I heard that

Don't get me wrong, I mean, she's cool and all

Goes to your school and all

But tell me what she do to deserve that

She rub your tummy when you feelin' yucky, bake mac and cheese when you hungry?

Pomegranate bath bombs, ensuring that your tub is bubbly, huh, does she?

Nah, I'm just playin', baby, friendships are lovely

If I can remove all the ugly that you'll come across

Never subject you to a backstab, double-cross

Bad batch of immature

Boys makin' bad decisions

I'd wave a wand, cast a spell, I would snap a finger

Too bad that this planet isn't, isn't always Strawberry Pockys

It's more, Hot Cheetos and Takis

Spicy, spiky, wobbly, squishy, washy, rocky

If ever you feel you're bout to topple over

Just know that you got me, I'm here

If I can, I will

If I can, I will

I hope you never have to question

You're my baby and my best friend

If I can, I will

If I can, I will

No, I won't never treat you less than

You're my baby and my best friend

If I can freeze the clock, then I would freeze the clock

Keep you the same height forever all your teeth or not

If I could have my way of it, you wouldn't change a bit

Cutie patootie sweet petite, you wouldn't age a lick

But before I know it, you gon' grow up, come home later than expected

Start ignoring all my messages, make my pressure go up

I just hope that you're responsible, reliable

Learn to look for worms in every apple that you bite into

In spite of being frightened, always fight for what feels right to you

If ever stifled, don't forget that you got angels, abuelita somewhere guiding you

Reminding you of the greatness that's inside of you, yeah, it's inside of you

You got that Howard Bison in your blood, no pressure though

If you choose Hampton, I still love you enough to let you go

I hope that scholarship covers all your expenses though

It's only room and board?

Me and your mama gon' have to let you know

If I can, I will

If I can, I will

I hope you never have to question

You're my baby and my best friend

If I can, I will

If I can, I will

No, I won't never treat you less than

You're my baby and my best friend

As you can see these are less like songs and more like diary entries but that's kind of always the way I approach music

If you get it, you get it, if they don't, they don't that's cool too
