If I Was Lyrics by Downtown Science

Downtown Science

1991

[1 Verse]
I ain`t no politician but if I was
I would go home with my own of freshest duds
Get up on a podium and raise my right hand
And promise to do a better job than the next man
Running, I definitely be cunning
Change the laws so the folks won`t get done in
By taxes, inflation and all the aggravation
Caused by racial tension
I ain`t no cop but if I was
I be the baddest DT to ever was
Down with the fuzz, go undercover
Buy and bust to put away the drug runners
That peddle the stuff to children
Puff, sniff and shoot
Spending all their loot on that Get High
I`m getting sick of this stuff
I would take the bite outta crime like McGruff
[Hook]
If I was
If I was
If I was
Heh, if I was
[2 Verse]
I ain`t no millionaire, at least not yet
But if I was, I would call my butler, tell him: "Gas my Jet"
And be out, plus the whole shebang
Spending money like it ain`t no thang
Castle on the countryside, building estate
22 pit bulls guarding the gate
I would lift weight and stay in good health
I be that mysterious character who`s stacking wealth
I ain`t no astronaut but if I was
I would be out there, exploring the planets and stars
Grab some protein bars
Pop my rocket and check out Mars
Radio NASA, tell `em: "Good looking out"
For giving me a chance to ease my doubt
About space, the final frontier
Then limber off into the atmosphere
[Hook]
If I was
If I was
If I was
Heh, if I was
[Break]
Alright, y`all
[3 Verse]
I ain`t no pimp but if I was dig it
I would get a pink 18-wheeler and rig it
With Spoke mag white walls and red lights for headlights
And I would pay low to fillies with fishnet tights
They got us hard as a rock
I would hold down my stable down to the dock
And clock dumb dollars of lonely sailors
Then I`d buy a few more tractor trailers
I ain`t no barber but if I was i`d be dope
Hook up your image and give you new hope
I`d do the flat top, the fade, the wave, the windmill and cue ball
I`d have a haircut for all
Who came to my shop for razor`s edge
While I could be found shaving a bush or trimming a hedge
Clipping and snipping from dawn to dusk
And when I finish, i`d spray you down with musk
[Hook]
If I was
If I was
If I was
If I was
Check it out
If I was
If I was
If I was
Hey, if I was
