Yo, Big Will in the place to be, mic check...mic check..
Would you love me in the shack in a shanty town
Would you love me if my pants was hand me downs, huh?
Yo, yo,
Often times I hear a phrase when I m out & about
8 to 80, all walks of life be shouting it out
Usually, when its time for a encore I hear it
Or when I did something hot, evoking the spirit
It s weird, its like a double edge sword when ya ll applaud
It s kinda wild, a peace sign, a smile
How do I respond to the phrase, "I love you Will!"?
Kinda heavy when I hear it, I d be like damn for real?
In a way it makes me wanna stay strong and moral
But history say I could be gone tomorrow
& though my future looks floral
I feel like I m hoping for much pain
When people stop shouting my name
& doubting my game & liking others better than me
Writing letters to him instead of to me
A veteran B , I know the game, but do me this here,
In your heart be clear before you bless my ear
Come on..
[CHORUS]
Could you love me if I lived in a shanty town
Could you love me if my pants was hanging down
Could you love me if my wrist ain t bling
If I wasn t on TV & I ain t sing, huh?
Could you love me if my whip wasn t chrome fitted
Would my name be easier to forget it, huh?
Could you love me if wrist ain t bling
If I wasn t on TV & I ain t sing, huh?
I pray before I sit with a pen & a pad
A birth of a thought occurs & it calls me Dad
To the universe an idea released from me
Just a CD, nah man, a piece of me
What you can t see is when you be dancing B
Is I asked you a question, that s how you answer me
So when you don t dance, it be like I m choking from cancer
Like I wrote rancid rhymes, I can t survive
Sure, I rationalize like, oh, I see..
But if you don t like my cut, its like you don t like me
Some stuff works, some works not so well
Its like you work so hard, still get hurt like hell
Yo, it could tear you apart
But don t let your wins go to your heard
Your losses go to your heart
& if we ever get the pleasure to meet
Be clever with it, measure what you yell in the street
Come on...
[CHORUS]
Whoo, would you.....
Whoo, could you.....
[CHORUS]
