Coulda Been

Lupe Fiasco · Other Songs - Lupe Fiasco

If i wasn't rappin'.

I'd probably be wrestling

Hand to hand grappling on the corner of Madison

Or real a stating trying to sell you a mansion

Or rollerblading doing 360 flat-spins

Or I'll probably be flipping a burger

Attempting a murder

Paralyzed, sipping on Gerber

I could be working at jewels

Chain snatching jerking ya jewels

Homeless working for food

I might be

Cleaning your pool

Teaching your school

Preaching to fool

Leaching, smoking weed to be cool

At DMV?s holding lines up

Or wind up in line ups, ya times up

Full of holes & holes ina fine tux

Out on parole

Out of control, holdin ya dime up

I could be last sitting on ya couch

Or I could be crazy cussing pigeons out

I could be hustling bags

Struggling bad, if I wasn't up in the lab

(shit)

I just might be cutting your grass walking your dog

Pumping your gas

Or nothing at all

I could be hustling bags

Struggling bad, if I wasn't up in the lab

(shit)

I just might be cutting your grass walking your dog

Pumping your gas

Or nothing at all
