WHATCOULDIHAVEDONE Feat Katdawg74
- [KATDAWG74 CHORUS]
- What could I have done to save him?
- "I watched him drown, I watched him drown."
- The chance of him surviving was slim.
- "I watched him drown, I watched him drown."
- Really thought that he could swim.
- "I watched him drown, I watched him drown."
- Guess I got the wrong feelin'
- "I watched him drown, I WATCHED HIM DROWN."
- [VERSE 1]
- Cough syrup and hard candy for my breakfast,
- Mouth hurts eatin' out hoes, yeah might need me a dentist,
- Got me new kicks, and new lyrics, bi*ch I am the freshest,
- Throw away old hoes so much, that you'd call me a sexist,
- These hoes braggin' with the iPhone,
- I don't think that's somethin' to die fo',
- Just a rich bi*ch tryna get a high score,
- Don't think that bi*ch worth dyin' fo'
- Call me Malone cause I'm actin' like a psycho,
- Crash into your bi*ch, betta get some Geico,
- We ain't up in all this gunna flow,
- He wasn't hard to catch, we all know he real slow,
- I hope one day he'll understand,
- Why I pulled up on his band,
- Why I'm makin' hundred grands,
- Got your own blood on your hands,
- Buyin' from luxury brands,
- Love contracts then it expands,
- [LILWRLDPAIN PRE VERSE]
- Could’ve saved him —but I watched him leave,
- Could’ve reached out —I let the silence breathe,
- Ghost on my sleeve, heavy as regret,
- Could’ve saved him —but I ain’t even tryin’ yet,
- [VERSE 2 (RAPID, STACCATO)]
- Knife edge lines in the mirror, cut myself for proof,
- Memories like witnesses, verdicts under tooth,
- You sent one last voice note that still cuts like frost,
- I hit delete on all the reasons, cost was what it cost,
- We argued ’bout nothin’, pockets full of empty truths,
- I was chasin’ petty demons, you was bleed in’ youth,
- Neighborhood sermons couldn’t teach me how to feel,
- Now every alley hums your name —the silence is unreal,
- [PRE CHORUS/BRIDGE (LOW GROWL)]
- If I’d been louder, if I’d been there,
- Maybe you’d still be here, maybe you’d still care,
- [KATDAWG74 CHORUS]
- What could I have done to save him?
- "I watched him drown, I watched him drown."
- Guess he knew the love was grim,
- "I watched him drown, I watched him drown."
- Made it look like he's the victim,
- "I watched him drown, I watched him drown."
- What the f*ck's up with the system?
- "I watched him drown, I WATCHED HIM DROWN."
- [VERSE 3]
- He missin' like an Amber Alert,
- Ripped up jeans and covered in dirt,
- Knew he wouldn't give the effort,
- Just another lyin' b*stard,
- Been through so many losses,
- It don't matter what the cost is,
- I've already made my choices,
- Too late to be actin' cautious,
- Shady guy in an alleyway,
- Cross my heart and hope to pray,
- That I'll live another day,
- But He never listened anyway,
- Remember the Kamikaze?
- Embedded in paparazzi,
- He's the door with the only key,
- With that path that'll make money,
- The irony's really funny,
- He controls his destiny,
- [PRE VERSE]
- I need no witness,
- Prayin' so much you'd think I'm religious,
- Givin' so much you'd think it's Christmas,
- Healin' so much you'd think it's an illness,
- Yeah I got a bad bro, he ain't with the fitness,
- Get 'em on their knees, beggin' for forgiveness,
- [VERSE 4]
- Don't turn around,
- Hell is coming,
- Risin' up from underground,
- The feelin's numbing,
- Betta not hesitate, go shoot your shot,
- Tryna go and do what you cannot,
- Feel my life was conceived in a sweat shop,
- Can't halt a shooting star, I will never drop,
- My homie LilWRLD, we been through it,
- Work so hard to get money in the wallet,
- We been cruisin' down the Las Vegas Strip,
- From Charlotte to LV, we got quite the friendship,
- To the simpletons in the crowd, we make no sense,
- The f*cking horror sub genres, have the dumbest deaths,
- Think f*cking Scream is a slasher,
- They think the phone should be answered,
- The killer's really a b*stard,
- It can't be that f*cking intense,
- I'll be honest, it was in my defense!
