If Only
Metro Boomin feat. JID & Saba

Intro:
Yeah, yeah
Ayy, Metro

Verse 1 (JID):
Missed calls, I was scared to answer,
Life’s a game, but I’m just a bystander,
Had dreams of stages, but I was stuck in the bleachers,
If only I had the heart of a preacher,

Verse 2 (JID):
Doubts creeping in, like shadows on my wall,
Hesitation got me feeling so small,
Should’ve made moves, but I froze in the moment,
Now I’m chasing ghosts, man, I can’t own it,

Chorus:
If only, if only, I could be brave,
If only, if only, I could pave my wave,
Lost in the thoughts of what could've been,
Now I’m lookin’ back, wonderin’ where to begin,

Verse 3 (Saba):
Missed opportunities like a game of chess,
Made moves too late, now I second guess,
Wishing I could rewrite the script of my life,
But the past is a ghost, cuts sharper than a knife,

Verse 4 (Saba):
Facing my fears, maybe put it in a verse,
Turn my pain into art, let the beat disperse,
Jazz in the back, let it breathe for a minute,
If only I had known, I could’ve seen the infinite,

Chorus:
If only, if only, I could be brave,
If only, if only, I could pave my wave,
Lost in the thoughts of what could've been,
Now I’m lookin’ back, wonderin’ where to begin,

Bridge:
But every fall's a lesson, every tear drops gold,
Turn the ink to my story, and let the truth unfold,
So I’ll stand tall, no more hiding in the crowd,
Gonna speak my truth, let it ring out loud,

Outro:
If only, if only, now I know the game,
Life’s a dance, man, and I’m learning the same,
So here’s to the missed, and here's to the lost,
I’ll take my shot, no matter the cost.
