If I Don't Make It Songtext
I wasn′t trying to be the one in charge
I only wanted to influence those who lived it hard
We never saw eye to eye 'til we met God
Holding dreams too long, so they fell apart
Used to listen to the essence of a new song
Now I just let the sentences move on
So when I saw the sun rise for the first time, I hoped to die
So in case I didn′t make it, my tears would multiply
So we watched it break down
Thought it never was the same, so we changed sounds
Put another mask on in the shade now
So no one knows it's me, so go ahead and pass the blame around
I spoke a different language, made a different statement
You got a lot to do, son, so why are you waiting?
It's now a different version of what it was before
So I′m sure it can′t be the same
A player of life and these mind games
If I don't make it, I don′t want to cause you sorrow
Please believe me, I'm the promise tomorrow
All we have to build on is yesterday, let′s live for today
If I don't make it, I don′t want it all on me
Trying my hardest not to give you grief
Trying to see the beauty in a fallen leaf
I might not make it, we might not make it
His name is Ox, Quentin Bradford Jr. to the government
These sucker DJs don't really know what they've been up against
Ushering the music, love, and ruggedness of real life
Show you what a night in Atlanta could really feel like
Ill type arranging and painting these people′s memories
Escapists for the ones who stay day to day in their misery
True king, unique, deaf to what these fools speak
Son, father, and friend, truly, so you′ll see
It happened when he finds out in July that something's different
Tuesday trip to stand and listen, whispers in the distance
Our wish list cleared and x′d out
Don't let doubt rule away the answers and tell that cancer to get out
Left out the following week, the one that I found out
Denied the simple fact and kept it locked in manchild′s mouth
Thank God for Quentin, God, thank God for Ox
Thank God he ain't quitting, thank God he won′t stop
Thank God I saw him last week, he looked a little weak
But I saw strength in his eyes and a passion beyond deep
He told me that Christ was healing him right here as we speak
He was past the fear and anger now and enveloped by peace
Please, God, if you see fit, leave him here with me
Whatever happens now, he's healed 'cause he believes, so
DJ Ox, rock, rock on
You the reason for the words that I write in this song
I′m like, DJ Ox, rock, rock on
You a blessing to the people from the level you on
I′m like, DJ Ox, rock, rock on
A changed man, got all the angels singing his song
If I don't make it, I don′t want to cause you sorrow
Please believe me, I'm the promise tomorrow
All we have to build on is yesterday, let′s live for today
If I don't make it, I don′t want it all on me
Trying my hardest not to give you grief
Trying to see the beauty in a fallen leaf
I might not make it, we might not make it
If she don't make it, God, I won't blame it on you
′Cause since she was born, the doctors never had good news
She had the prettiest angel wings to match her dress-up shoes
′Cause she's an angel
Her guardian angel had their hands full
Had her parents looking for the answers
And the doctors checking every angle
Not fair, synonymous with the cancer
"Where does it hurt?" turned to "Let′s dull the pain"
And then numbing it down turned to more of the same
Trying to stop it changed her life to a maybe
And this little girl's face changed to an old lady′s
And she spoke those words far beyond her years
And said, "If I don't make it, I don′t want to see tears
'Cause I'm an angel, I′m an angel
And I love you dearly, you have to believe me
God told me you would, please don′t leave me
I promise I'll be good, ′cause I'm your angel, I′m your angel"
If I don't make it, I don′t want to cause you sorrow
Please believe me, I'm the promise tomorrow
All we have to build on is yesterday, let's live for today
If I don′t make it, I don′t want it all on me
Trying my hardest not to give you grief
Trying to see the beauty in a fallen leaf
I might not make it, we might not make it
I only wanted to influence those who lived it hard
We never saw eye to eye 'til we met God
Holding dreams too long, so they fell apart
