Tekster: Outlandish. Bread & Barrels of Water. If Only.

It's all so quiet in here
If only, I got's to do this
If only, yeah

I know I'm takin' ya for granted as hell
Don't care, never talk, when we do, not well
Come home, all tired and straight to bed
You be like, remember salaat?

And I'ma go, forget that I missed the first 4
Anyhow can't deny my conscious is broke
Double standard, 100, ask me why and I choke
Sistas stay home while brothas hit the clubs

Tale spinning on fast lanes, drinking all up
I give a damn about you'd walk a 1000 miles for me
I won't even go down to the nearest corner shop for ya
Food on the table every time I run home
Praying while the TV is on, my focus all gone

Can't take ya serious when ya blame me for ya misery
Why can't ya be mo like his or her son, I'm sick of it?
I wish I could turn back the hands of time if I could
If I could I would be ya perfect son
Instead of dropping the tears in du'a

Ooh my friend, can't take it anymore
The pain, the rain, the good times missin', help me sing
If only we could be down
If only we'd work it out now
If only we'd be strong, we got's to keep on holdin' on

It wasn't love at first sight, not even the first night
Came later build on mutual respect insight
Ok we argue a lot ya told u I was leaving
So we say stupid things when we mad but we don't mean 'em

Come on how did u expect us to connect so fast
We knew zero about each other got hooked up by my mother
U was digging Bollywood while I was in to beats and rhymes
Before it all was about me, now it's all about us

You see relationship's build on support and trust
And we had cracks in both, we came close to a divorce
Then he came in and things got better we thought
All though diapers for our baby's bootie we could barely afford

For now me and you we scrubbing floors together
But someday Inshallah we gonna floss together
It's been a bumpy ride so far but we'll face it together
No matter how the weather, it's me and you and ours forever, forever

Ooh my friend, can't take it anymore
The pain, the rain, the good times missin', help me sing
If only we could be down
If only we'd work it out now
If only we'd be strong, we got's to keep on holdin' on

Si solo yo pudiera
Viajar en el tiempo
Si solo yo pudiera
Volver por un momento

Y sentarme junto a usted
Y hablar de hijo a padre
Sentarme junto a usted
De amigo a compadre

Le diria hay una cosa que no se debe de olvidar
La familia es lo primero, es elemental
Pero supongo que en este punto
Somos diferentes y como reprocharle
Si usted es el ausente

Y ahora que ya no esta de que sirve
No se quien tuvo la culpa pero una cosa quiero decirle
Mi madre me hizo hombre
Ella es fuerte y con orgullo
A ella le debo todo mi pasado mi futuro

Why, why so quiet?
Baby ya think by now we'd knew any better
Why all this fightin'?
Maybe we should talk instead of all this hidin'

Help me sing
If only we could be down
If only we'd work it out now
If only we'd be strong, we got's to keep on holdin' on

If only we could be down
If only we'd work it out now
If only we'll be strong
No matter the rain, the pain, ain't nobody hold us down
Nobody holdin' us down
No more, oh no

Why why why?
