(What) If.

What if everybody knew their purpose? And nothing's hidden cuz it's on the surface And morals didn't shift just from a purchase I swear that shit'll leave you feelin' worthless Now, what if nobody discovered fire? And it was proven that there wasn't anybody higher? What if life was always guaranteed? Then, maybe none of this is meant to be... What if? What if it's all a simulation A higher-powered operation Take a couple hundred nations and break 'em And toss advantages to each and base it off their location Press start - wait (Mute beat) It takes time but let 'em procreate Overtime you'll find that naturally they immigrate A new place Some from here, some from there Different races, different hair Who cares what we look like? It's our differences that make us unique, you heard the hook right? Imagine life - no spite No crime, no more people tellin' bold lies We'd still fight but it's alright Good night, then start it over with the new light What if everybody knew their purpose? And nothing's hidden cuz it's on the surface And morals didn't shift just from a purchase I swear that shit'll leave you feelin' worthless Now, what if nobody discovered fire? And it was proven that there wasn't anybody higher? What if life was always guaranteed? Then, maybe none of this is meant to be... What if? Imagine there's a world where we can say what we feel Ain't gotta worry 'bout the fake because we know that they're real What if not a single person was out here starvin' for a meal? Feelin' hopeless so your last resort is go out there and steal You can't escape what's eating you alive while tryna heal You're feelin' lonely and you isolate yourself You're too uncomfortable You know the judgment's comin' right as soon As you reveal whatever's goin' on inside us people really need to peel Layers, there's no other way to say this We really need to care less and address the situation We ain't nameless, be more shameless Take more chances, and put to use imagination Be more gracious, it's contagious I mean we can't always be nice and when we aren't, just separate it Avoid the energy, it's not worth it And be the bigger person, then go earn what you deserve What if everybody knew their purpose? And nothing's hidden cuz it's on the surface And morals didn't shift just from a purchase I swear that shit'll leave you feelin' worthless Now, what if nobody discovered fire? And it was proven that there wasn't anybody higher? What if life was always guaranteed? Then, maybe none of this is meant to be... What if? What if not a single person's up there; this is it? You gon' drop down to the ground, or still be livin' it? What if we worked our very best at everything and all the time? I wonder what we could find Maybe we'd have already found our creator Or we took it too far and split up at the equator That'd be the end of the human race We can't save us, we could've left a better trace Erase all that we've done and start it over like a game We're basically the SIMS but we're the ones that get to play At least it seems that way but really who's to say? Who made hate? It needs to go away Our life's a race And there's a finish line but we ain't got a clue 'bout where it is or which day
