What If I
by Lyrycyst

Album: Masquerade

What if I never had a chance to be grown
What if I never saw the sun that's lighting up my home
If I was destroyed, would you throw me away
beCuz, this kind of thing happens every day

I know the story
This woman only minimum age
She's pregnant and her child in her
Without an escape
The father didn't want responsibility
So he ran
She was scared
So she turned a diabolical plan
Her child's growing inside her
It's genetical strands that make up
Organs in his body now he's forming his hands
While she's thinking of her choices
For the quickest safety net
People say that it's ok
Because it's not really a baby yet.
She leaves for some worry
she needs to think
She tells her parents and her friends
All think its a mistake
But some people think
That she's doing it wrong
She's only 15,
How could she be a good mom
The fact of it is
It's still a kid in the womb
I can see it as it's forming
Tell me what will he do
This is not just a product
You can't destroy it or sell it
And if he asked you
How he died
What could you possibly tell him
Her pressure was growing
And her conscious was edin'
She decided not to do
Left decisions for pleadin
Let me leave you with this
Before you choose your beliefs
That woman was my mom
And that child was me

Chorus
What if you never knew my name
What if this song could make a change
What if you never lived today
There's got to be a better way
Make our mistakes, undo our wrongs
Never think twice just move along
There is a will there is a way
And there is a better way
What if I

Verse 2
I'd like to take a little time
For some serious rhymes
I congratulate this lady
That has given me life
I know she had a tough decision
She was young and she was scared
But she let it all work out
It was right and it was fair
I can't imagine
Sucking a baby out it's fluid
Although living's a little tough
I am thankful to do it
Cause there are so many growig
That they don't even know
That we're taking out the garbage
While they're forming their toes
This is real what I'm speakin
Have your thrills on the weekend
But when the pill doesn't cease it
YOu better deal with the pieces
I have a feeling you see it
You just don't want to believe it
You get your bill to release it
To someone killing your fetus
And just because its gone
It's vanished without a trace
You think it isn't wrong
Murder, murder was the case
I don't want to sit and listen
To excuses you test
If we're not going to be responsible
Quit having sex

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge
I was young and I was scared
I was young and i was scared
Who could this be
This life, this life inside of me
It could be you
oh, and it could've been me

(Repeat Chorus)

You think you know everyone
