Coulda been a lawyer or doctor
Way more broke but I'm way more popular
Coulda done accounting or marketing
Gardening, laid down carpeting
Coulda been a hard-hitting journalist
Heard about the latest murder and the murder when it's happening
Cinderella in the tournament, I had to be
Got a chip on my shoulder and it's permanently attached to me
Boy, I do this shit actually, factually
When I'm in the city, it's packed to capacity
When it come to reps, I'm rep city
When it come to raps, y'all rap shitty
Don't be coming to me talking 'bout this and that
"Pack, why don't you diss him back?"
It's not a game to me
Got into it for the love but the boy got bands like 98 degrees, huh
Who'da seen it coming back in '09?
Who did all the math without the cosign?
You was looking back at all the old times
I was cooking in the gold mines
Everytime I flow, it's profit (profit)
Everywhere I go, it's gossip (gossip)
Everyone I know got comments (comments)
But everyone I know got problems too
I stayed out the drama club
Apostrophe, I got my commas up
Y'all pajama'ed up
I was in the lab like Bill Nye
Wiz Khalifa with the volume knob getting real high
Wake your punk asses up, it's time to cut class
And puff, pass the blunt
You coulda been anywhere but you here with us
You fucked up
Coulda been a lawyer or doctor
Way more broke but I'm way more popular
Coulda been, coulda been, coulda been
Coulda been, coulda been, coulda been
Coulda done this, coulda done that
Coulda played safe but I been around the map
Coulda got advance that I coulda gave back
Coulda been, coulda been, coulda been
Coulda been a lawyer or doctor
Way more broke but I'm way more popular
Coulda been, coulda been, coulda been
Coulda been, coulda been, coulda been
Coulda done this, coulda done that
Coulda played safe but I been around the map
Coulda got advance that I coulda gave back
Coulda been, coulda been, coulda been
Damn, I almost send it up like them
Regretting all attempts at something crazy
Now my catalog the climb accident
The commute up in the morning, Ollie really made it (hey!)
Coulda done the corporate ladder stint
Search for ass to kiss, wasting time
But someone else's dream is not how I wanna remember life when I'm old and rich
Looking back at this, 16 Ms worth of streams how I'm cashin' this
If I had to choose, cop the average root
About the bigger picture, they'll laugh at you
But I'm living sweet (hey!), why stress what I coulda been
When it's all of the envy from the outside lookin' in
And they all wanna look at him
It gets lonely when you get on top of your shit
And I been up on mine for a couple of years (a couple of years)
Me and myself a hell of a merger
And teamed up, I got nothing to fear
Coulda done a 15-85
Leave 'em out to dry, sleep on the shelf
But I'm a startup that's projected to blow
I can't find a good reason to sell
I can see a lot of proof of returns
Shit, I could be doing worse
A higher power tuning in when I speak
So I watch how I'm choosing my words (hey!)
Good life 'cause I took a chance
Great energy from good friends
Love the choices I made today
So I don't care to think what I coulda been, oh yeah
Coulda been a lawyer or doctor
Way more broke but I'm way more popular
Coulda been, coulda been, coulda been
Coulda been, coulda been, coulda been
Coulda done this, coulda done that
Coulda played safe but I been around the map
Coulda got advance that I coulda gave back
Coulda been, coulda been, coulda been (hey!)
Coulda been a lawyer or doctor
Way more broke but I'm way more popular (way more popular)
Coulda been, coulda been, coulda been
Coulda been, coulda been, coulda been (woo!)
Coulda done this, coulda done that
Coulda played safe but I been around the map
Coulda got advance that I coulda gave back
Coulda been, coulda been, coulda been
