(Verse 1 - E-Sential)
What if I,
Started smokin' on that weed again?
What if I,
Started snortin' coke and poppin' E again,
What if I,
Never ever picked up on my pad,
Or even my pen?
What if I never met Christ and was freed from sin?
Would everything change drastically and be quick?
Or would it be a slow process and reckless?
I love the message,
But I got some questions,
About this life,
Because it's my faith that I'm addressin',
Like would I ever meet my friends that I'm kickin' it with?
Or would I be in a different click,
Smokin' up on the spliff?
It's such a trip,
God gave me the gift,
And now I use it,
But where in the world would I be if I was usin',
And so I'm choosin',
Christ, he paid my dues and,
Never to refuse him,
Lord you're my conclusion,
There's so much delusion,
And plus I'm only human,
But I'm still gonna look up to The Lord and what he's doin'.

(Chorus - Roderick Jackson)
I'm on my knees,
Praying, "God, deliver me,
Deliver me from all the pain, the strife, and misery,
Show me your will,
My sins, you died up on the hill,
Remember me as I turn from my iniquity,
I need you Lord,
This life has got me questioning,
My past has got me thinkin, 'Where would I be?',
So every time I try to walk the path that's doin' right,
It's like I look back to my past,
And I'm like, What if I?"

(Verse 2 - E-Sential)
What if I,
Never went to the youth group down the street,
Got prayer, got clean, got saved, got a dream?,
What if I never took care of my Grandma,
Would I be the same man,
Or would that be my downfall?,
I got questions like a see-saw,
So I give 'em to God,
Knowin' that he's all G, (come on)
Because up in the world,
Things change just like the wind,
People turn they backs up on they best friend,
Straight sin,
What if this life wasn't hard,
And it was layed back?,
No evictions, no restrictions, no addictions, no crack?,
But what would we learn,
If we neva made a mistake brutha?,
No free will,
Just a robot,
Straight sucka,
I mean God created us to make decisions people,
But why is it that we tend to turn to something evil?,
It doesn't make sense,
And it kinda gets up and on my nerves,
That's fer sure,
But I know that Jesus is the cure,
Gyeah.

(Chorus)

(Verse 3 - E-Sential)
And I be doin' what I can,
To be kickin' it with The Lord,
Because he be the man,
There ain't no doubt this life can have some hard struggles,
But it's up to you what to do up in these troubles,
Because The Lord is comin' back and he be comin' soon,
It could be April,
Could be tomorrow,
Or it could be June,
There ain't no tellin' when he's comin' back,
And that is real,
He's comin' a back like a thief,
But not to come and steal,
So how many questions do you got flowin' through your mind?,
And are you seekin' spiritual council?,
Proverbs 16:9,
I keep it real with my time,
No reason to waste mine,
I be up on the grind for Christ,
He's so divine.

(Chorus)
