Intro:
Yeah, uh
If only, if only, you know what I'm sayin'?
Chorus:
If only I had the chance, uh,
To do it again, man, I’d take that stance,
If only I wasn’t scared to advance,
All those opportunities, I missed by a glance.
Verse 1 (J. Cole):
Late nights thinkin' 'bout the moves I didn’t make,
Shoulda jumped in the game when I knew it was a stake,
Stumbled on the verge, couldn’t find my voice,
Doubts creeped in, man, I ain’t have a choice.
Hustlin' dreams, I was caught in between,
The fear of failure, yeah, it made me mean,
But now I’m here, and I’m seein' clearly,
All the paths I missed out on, feelin’ eerie.
Chorus:
If only I had the chance, uh,
To do it again, man, I’d take that stance,
If only I wasn’t scared to advance,
All those opportunities, I missed by a glance.
Verse 2 (Denzel Curry):
Made a couple bucks, lost a lot of friends,
Meaning of success, man, it always bends,
Thought I was a king, livin' in a dream,
But when I woke up, realized it ain't what it seems.
Heart full of regret, weighed down with stress,
Had the globe in my palm, but I settled for less,
If only I believed, if only I could see,
The glow of the light that was reaching for me.
Chorus:
If only I had the chance, uh,
To do it again, man, I'd take that stance,
If only I wasn’t scared to advance,
All those opportunities, I missed by a glance.
Bridge:
Time’s a cruel thief, takin' dreams like a bandit,
Foot on the gas, but I couldn’t stand it,
If I could rewind, go back to the start,
I’d face all my fears, yeah, I’d play it smart.
Verse 3 (J. Cole):
So here I stand, with my head held high,
Learned from the pain, ain’t sayin’ goodbye,
If only lessons could pay for my sins,
I’d build an empire, rise up, let it begin.
Final Chorus:
If only I had the chance, uh,
To do it again, man, I’d take that stance,
If only I wasn’t scared to advance,
All those opportunities, I missed by a glance.
Outro:
If only, if only, yeah, I could rewind,
Learn from the losses, leave the doubt behind,
But now I’m movin’ forward, no rearview in sight,
Gonna chase every dream, let 'em shine so bright.
