Lyrics
If only you knew how the world came about you would not allow yourself a second in doubt
If only you knew the evil deeds of your forefathers you would not defend them blindly publicly
If only you knew the number of ladies I have impregnated in my head, you would not call me a saint and buy the picture I pain
If only you knew my pain you would respect my gain
If only you could reach my height, then you would know my might
If only you knew my story you would not blame me but rather say sorry
If only you knew the intensity of your action you would think twice and move in the right direction
If only you knew how tight my shoes were, you would not laugh at the pair I wear
If only you could travel back into history, you would appreciate all the stories that still remain a mystery
If only you knew life was no race, you would have slowed down your pace
If only you knew life cannot be saved by wealth, you will pay a bit more attention to your health
If only you knew my ambition you will respect my decision
If only you knew the distance, I have covered to get here you would understand why I don't live in fear
If only you knew what you now know, there is no way you would have made all those silly mistakes and asked yourself how
Now bask on the path of knowledge and hold your head up high than take a bow
Let all admirers incredibly say, "Wow!"
I'm a wordsmith, with the potential to create the worst myth
My alphabets drawn from the furnace makes me a wordsmith
Incubation fostered growth, who are your words with
Spew nonsense only to regret, measure your words width
A gruesome murder can't be appeased by the best wreath
My scribbling knows no joy until my words breathe (Pause and Exhale)
I'm sailing through the storms of life in a fire sea
With grace and poise, no noise not a Pharisee
My limit knows no impediments until I get it
After that I strive relentlessly to exceed it
Is that not all effort is about?
Like throwing blunt vague punches in a bout or
A triangular movement in a roundabout
What at all is life worth without account
If only you knew the truth behind your existence
What will you trivialize and what will you pursue with persistence
Will you continue your ways or start anew
If only you knew!
Our lives are only a manifestation of what we know, which is limiting
The fact being we do not know everything, which I'm earnestly admitting
What's true, what's false? It is up to you. But that's if only you knew!
