Rose Speaks
If only I could change the world
and make it a better place.
If only I had money,
And my son didn't have to
worry about poverty,
I wish for nothing
but the best for him.
If only I could make it
big with my raps.
I know I got what it takes.
I can do it and I will do it.
I'll do what it takes for Nathan
I love him
If only I can make
my dream come true

Mahellea C. Austin Speaks
If only...
The life, Lord,
You know me
The light, Lord,
You showed me
In my nights, Lord,
You hold me.
For my rights, Lord
I really pray you hold me.
For my price, Lord, everything I never got
Bless it upon Corey.
I'm just asking for what you owe me.
Life is hard to swallow,
But if it's for my Corey,
Then please, Lord, pour me.
Forever yours,
If only...
