lyrics

Hook 1
what i-i-if (4x)

verse 1

what if our system wasn't based on debt
what if we turned on the news and just saw the basic facts
all sides of the medal, stop to meddle and we stop to rebel
we forgot to nettle
we rather stuck together

what if we locked away the racist chat
- lost the keys
neatly treated by police - face was black
enough with the fossils
what if we put people over profit
enjoyed our time being at the office

what if we started laughing
and stopped to gossip
instead - focused on being a better person myself
our purse wasn't our wealth
and we stopped smoking
'cause its just a chronic curse for our health

what if
the hearts of the women i meet
wasn't
full of darts from the pain they received
in their past
relationships
so many things to fix yo

Hook 2 - 1
what i-i-if (4)

verse 2
what if on mankinds motorway was a greedlimit
"differ from the majority? no need to be timid!"
we spoke to each other, listen and learn
so we grow together and our frictions disperse
the young respected the old, the old respected the young
we made cash differently from manufacturing guns
all my folks worldwide had shelter and food
no need for coming-outs, love who you choose
the wealth of some wasn't made on the backs of the most
your passport didn't determine where your travels can go
what if the world was led by mostly women
god was universal love and not just for the ones of your religion
bridge

let me see your hands
it's just a vision
peace and love thanks for listenin
what if we found a better system
that doesn't force us to
exploit everything, we need another mission

we exploit our people, animals, the planet
being bandits with the cannon,
we take it all for granted
becoming villains out for billions
leavin' a mess for our children

verse 3

this is my land, nah it's my land
debate about who stole it first
its just a part of earth,
this might hurt: it's for everybody
borders should be blurred

what if we loved for the love, no expectations
the good you do came back to you - feel the vibration
our family and friends didn't have to die
i helped you reachin' your goals - I ain't after mine


hook 2 - 2
what i-i-if
the ego died
but still
we be alive
what i-i-if
we realized
that we are one, that we is I
