Hey! I Can Do It Too: Coulda Been

Posted by Chilly | Posted in | Posted on 9:54 PM

I could of been a different story, Coulda been a different color 
Coulda been a different path,Coulda been a different mother 
Raising the young man providing him with her cover 
Giving the helping hand in the absence of her lover 

Coulda been a different school, Coulda been a different college 
Coulda been a different brain...Not absorbing the knowledge 
That is seen by a different pair eyes, On a different set of scene 
With a different set of genes, That never made up me

 Coulda been a different man, With a different set of hands
Not holdin the pen, Totin things that go blam 
Coulda been a different nigga, Or not a nigga at all 
Coulda been a different trigger, Sendin me to my fall 

Coulda been a different girl, Or not a girl at all
 Could there be a different world, Would it differ at all 
From the pain and the smiles of a youngster
 Would I feel the pain of livin in a dumpster 

Pain from the hunger, Pain from the thirst 
A smile for a dime, That I dug up from the dirt 
The pride of my eyes, Existing below the earth 
The cries from the lies, Being told In the church 

A smile for a fortune, A grin at the hurt 
Being caused by the people, Livin life as they were 
Could there be a different skin, For a group of different men
 Livin there lives different, From whats expected of them
