[Hook: Blu & Aloe Blacc]
Man if
Man if what
What if we can just
Just what
Just blink yourself away
And this
And this what
What if this is just
Just what
Just dreams from yesterday
Man it's
Man it's what
Whatever we make
Make what
Is what we make in the scenes we play
It's kinda crazy I guess, when words become flesh
And brings
Brings life to the things we say
To the things we say
[Verse 1: Aloe Blacc]
To the things we say
Maybe it don't ever happen so simply
Cause sometimes when you be writing a narrative to your life
And somebody will throw a hyphen up in your way
I mean it's cool for me to speak a bunch of "live that life"
When I ain't ever had to sleep under a bridge at night
Food spoiling in the fridge, all alone in the crib with no kids
Now come on, what gives me that right
See I'm tripping if I'm thinking this simply positive thinking
To stop a hooker from hooking to alcoholic from drinking it
Maybe it could be what I know
That it takes more than water for a flower to grow
And a diamond might gleam and glow
But without sunlight, that little shining won't dream and show
So set sail if you catch my drift
No knit, thumbs up, come and catch a lift
You can Plead the Fifth
But a baby who don't cry, don't eat, gotta be careful what you feed em with
And in a way we all babies, still growing up
Sucking down the milk with the guilt, keep us throwing up
And at the same time, it's like we all parents
Let us help each other grow with the dreams that we sharing
Man if
Man if what
What if we could just
Just what, just what, just, just what

To the things we say
[Verse 2: Blu]
To the things we say
I guess I gotta start rapping bout bling today
In order to get a check
Cause if words manifest in the flesh, then I gotta sing for pay
So I'ma scream out C.R.E.A.M til I leave the bank
And keep repeating the hook like a mean delay
Like a mean delay, cause what I mean to say
Is make your dreams reality in the scenes you play
It could be cold as December or spring in May
And yet my hunger to succeed won't leave my veins
Til my jerseys buy worthies or I leave the game early
Cause a birdie said God needs me to stay
Bye, until then I got hope to supply on
I'm like dope, sometimes I gotta smoke to get by and not choke
Cause I wish I could flow through life
And that's why I close my eyes when I'm choking the mic
To block out all the hype like chicks on the jock
They ain't even hear a word, but they'll say your shit's hot when it's not
It's cold hearted and driven by starving
So I talk about love when my heart done hearted
From sleeping on the floors in my homeboy's apartment
And often, I drift off and get lost up in my thoughts
And when I open my eyes, I see coffins
That's why I rap about ballin', dawg
