(feat. Bun B (U.G.K.), Godfather) 



Ah, Ah, Ah, Father live my life (2000) 

Tryin' to do what's right, Ah 



If it was meant to be, I'll store a whole key, and push a Bentley 

Build my own mansion on Mars, go down in history 

If it was meant to be, I'd go platinum in a day 

An If it was meant to be there'd be no po-lice where I stay 



[C-Note] 

Oh well, I live in Hell 

I'm trapped up in this ghetto 

Crack sales, we livin' well 

But still ain't nuttin' to let go 

If it was meant to be, so set yourself free 

If we ever make it out this ghetto I sold my shit to C, that's on me 

I'm jus a G, I'm tryin' to get my life together 

I know through all the sunshine there be some frightning weather 

I ever, you gotta live your life slow 

If ya ass in a rush you might get trapped in the snow 

With, nowhere to go, nowhere to hide 

An if, it was meant to be, I'd be nation wide (nation wide) 

Give me the world an all that's left up in it 

Bump-in nation, ridin' broke while rich an independent 



[Revised Hook] 

If it was meant to be then everybody I know would be a G 

An all the homies doin' time in the pen be set free 

If it was meant to be, I'd go platinum in a day 

An If it was meant to be there'd be no po-lice where I stay 



[Godfather] 

If it was meant to be, I'd be a millionaire the next century 

It's '99, Juelzie's out the penitentiary 

Drug game done crashed, jus like the stock market 

But weed'll never stop sellin, give me the blunt an spark it 

If it was meant to be, God'll let me see tomorrow 

Gotta go work for mine, I never had to borrow 

And as for friends, that's somethin' that I never had 

I love my mother to death, but what about my dad? 

If it was meant to be, none of us would have to struggle 

I pressed my luck with the Sotas to make my money double 

A man of life, no stress no bills 

I know some people that's broke, that wanna go an kill 

If it was meant to be, you would have fame and fortune 

Die a sinner, you'd go to Hell where it's scorchin' 

So when the y2k, I found a new way 

I make my own decisions, Don't care whatchu say... 



[Revised Hook - C-Note] 

If it was meant to be, I'd be known world wide 

Four or five differnt Bentley's, parked outside 

If it was meant to be (meant to be), I'd be locked behind bars 

But still I'd rather ball with young ghetto stars 



[Bun B] 

Say man I'd already be platinum 

An I'd already be rich 

I'd already be in a house on a hill with a bad bitch 

An I'd already be settin' trends in a 2001 Bendz 

Lookin' at super models through a Cardy LN's 

An I'd already be at the top of billboard for a month 

An I'd already be on stage in the Summit with a blunt 

I don't tool wit Lauryn Hill, not even bar an steel 

Man I'd already know how to inside of a foreign field 

An I'd already know how much they love me over seas 

And how to blow a grand in quilla in Amsterdam wit clover G's 

An I'd already know how tight my name in lights would look at night 

While blowin' chocolate mixed with hash mixed with flight 

Man I'd already know who killed Malcolm X and Kennedy 

An who my real fathers was from niggaz who pretend to be 

I'd already be readin on everybody who hate 

If it was meant to be man I wouldn't even have to wait 



If it was meant to be [x3]
