“What If” is a chill pop & R&B influenced song with a hiphop beat, which reflects on self doubt and how overthinking and living in the past stops you from moving forward.
[Intro]
It is not death
Most people are afraid of
It is getting to the end of life
Only to realise
They regretted not the things they did
But the things they didn't do
And you never truly live
[Verse]
Shawty gone
Bet she wanna stay
I took way too long
Had no word to say
I feel like a man
Going insane
I feel like a man
Going insane
Oh oh oh oh
[Pre- Chorus]
Grow up
You grow up
You grow up
You show up
Show love
You broke up
I took way too long
Spend the whole day in bed
Listen to music reminisce on the words I wish I’d said
[Chorus]
Death dies
And regret lives
If you kick the bucket
Full of what if’s
Hear the benzo
In the veins pumping
It’s never too late
To get started
Ooooo
The way she move walk away
The way she smooth drive you cray
I can’t handle this no more
[Post-Chorus]
Cuz I know that she going out to the club on the weekend
Gives me another shot to believe in
Say she quiet in my thoughts she willin
And I can’t stop my face from smiling
[Bridge]
See I’ve been going back to places
Where loving her was overrated
And now I got myself complaining
I’m complaining
No oh
[Verse]
Shawty gone
Bet she wanna stay
I took way too long
Had no word to say
I feel like a man
Going insane
I feel like a man
Going insane
No oh oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Grow up
You grow up
You grow up
You show up
Show love
You broke up
I took way too long
Spend the whole day in bed
Listen to music reminisce on the words I wish I’d said
[Chorus]
Death dies
And regret lives
If you kick the bucket
Full of what if’s
Hear the Benzo
In the veins pumping
It’s never too late
To get started
Oh oh oh
The way she move walk away
The way she smooth drive you cray
I can’t handle this no more
No more
No more
Shawty gone
