If only

It´s all so quiet in here
If only - I got´s to do this
If only - yeah
[Rapverse1 (Isam)]
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
U b like; remember salaat
And I be like; 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 u´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 these tears in du´a
[Chorus]
Oh 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´ll be strong, we got´s to keep on holdin´ on
[Rapverse2 (Waqas)]
It wasn´t love at first sight, not even the first night
Came later build on mutual respect insight
Ok we argue a lot yaaaaa 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 we´ll face it together
No matter the weather
It´s me you and ours forever
[Chorus]
[Rapverse3 (Lenny)]
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 tiene 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
[Translation]
If only I could
Travel back in time
If only I could
Go back for a moment
And sit down with you
And talk son to father
Sit down with you
Friend to companion
I would tell you there is a thing you shouldn´t forget
The family is number one, is essential
But I guess that in this aspect
We´re different and how can I reproach you
If you have always been absent
And now that you´re gone it doesn´t make a difference
I don´t know who´s fault it is
But one thing I want to tell you
My mom made me a man
She is strong and proud
To her do I owe everything
My past and my future
[Bridge]
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´
[Chorus]
[Ending]
Nobody
Holdin´ us down
No more
Oh no
If only - I got´s to do this
If only - yeah
