If I Could Songtext
von life

Yeah, I brought a couple cats with me this go round cause′
We are talking man and sometimes we just feel if we have the opportunity to do some things, we would...
I mean, if there is no time, no space, no barriers, no limits, what would you do?

If I could... I'd live sinless and dismiss endless repentance
and pushing the limits of God′s forgiveness
My heart's WishList wouldn't be suspicious
Like excessive expensive gifts for Christmas
I′d freestyle God′s Word like a prophet
Spit it with conviction ill enough to start mosh pits
Sinners at a scribble jam, rowdy as a mob gets
Persecution spreading the gospel through hip-hop quick
I'd write songs beyond the hundred bars
Make it long enough to feel like I really said it all
But, that′s impossible: exhausting the inexhaustible
Making the eternal sound logical
I'd change the world with a rhyme if I could
End the pain and the hurt that resides in the hood
Preach the name, making sure that the style′s really good
Let His fame in the earth spread wide like it should


If I could get y'all to praise him before I go
Before the curtain drops down and I and my show
Before the lights dim low and I end my flow
Y′all could all see the Him I know
If I could...
If I could get y'all to praise him before I go
Before the curtain drops down and I and my show
Before the lights dim low and I end my flow
Y'all could all see the Him I know
If I could...

If I could I′d be half the man of God my Father is
Leave a monumental mark upon the hearts of all who harken it
Grab my sword and sharpen it
Parting all the darkness with the same spark to walk brave-hearted just like the martyrs did
I′d start with this;
Yo I'd pause the lips of those who target kids in the audience with fraudulence and godlessness
Putting a stop to all of the wreckage′n
Pressing mute on many men form Eminem to Benny Hinn
(REWIND) - Naw, I'd fast-forward till the sky cracks
Blasting the doors off your ford taurus
How passive is the Lord when He′s smashin' you for His Glory
In a blood soaked war-torn robe it′s so gory...
It doesn't have to be this way
Y'all know the story: His Passion displayed
He was attached to the tree for me
And you too, how long will you let it be?
If I could pluck out my eye′s;
I′d give em' to you so you could see


If I could get y′all to praise him before I go
Before the curtain drops down and I and my show
Before the lights dim low and I end my flow
Y'all could all see the Him I know
If I could...
If I could get y′all to praise him before I go
Before the curtain drops down and I and my show
Before the lights dim low and I end my flow
Y'all could all see the Him I know
If I could...

I′d tell you what if I could,
I would hit every hood
Cause' I got something much better than "it's all good."
It was made of all wood, except for the spikes
That′s what they used to stretch out the Christ
When He gave up His life
If I could, I would take em′ all back in time
and go through the whole account with em' line for line
As they witness from a distance what He endured
To ensure He existed to those who are impure
I′d take em' to the courtyard and let them see
How they had a chance to set Him free
If I could, I would let them see: how the lies swirl
Bout′ how He never opened His mouth to speak
If I could, I would show them the brutal beat down
The blood covered thorns He wore as a fake crown
and for every child, woman, and man on planet earth
How He would do this over and over again
If I could...

If I could get y'all to praise him before I go
Before the curtain drops down and I and my show
Before the lights dim low and I end my flow
Y′all could all see the Him I know
If I could...
If I could get y'all to praise him before I go
Before the curtain drops down and I and my show
Before the lights dim low and I end my flow
Y'all could all see the Him I know
If I could...
