Yo, Big Will in the place to be, mic check...mic check..
Would you love me in the shack in a shanty town
Would you love me if my pants was hand me downs, huh?
Yo, yo,
Often times I hear a phrase when I'm out & about
8 to 80, all walks of life be shouting it out
Usually, when its time for a encore I hear it
Or when I did something hot, evoking the spirit
It's weird, its like a double edge sword when ya'll applaud
It's kinda wild, a peace sign, a smile
How do I respond to the phrase, "I love you Will!"?
Kinda heavy when I hear it, I'd be like [bad word] for real?
In a way it makes me wanna stay strong and moral
But history say I could be gone tomorrow
& though my future looks floral
I feel like I'm hoping for much pain
When people stop shouting my name
& doubting my game & liking others better than me
Writing letters to him instead of to me
veteran 'B', I know the game, but do me this here,
In your heart be clear before you bless my [bad word] on..
 [bad word] 

Could you love me in the a shack in a shanty town
Could you love me if my pants was hand-me-down
Could you love me if my wrists ain't bling
If I wasn't on TV & I ain't sing, huh?
Could you love me if my whip wasn't chrome [bad word] Would my name be easier to forget it, huh?
Could you love me if wrists ain't bling
If I wasn't on TV & I ain't sing, huh?
I pray before I sit with a pen & a pad
birth of a thought occurs & it calls me Dad
To the universe an idea released from me
Just a CD, nah man, a piece of me
What you can't see is when you be dancing 'B'
Is I asked you a question, that's how you answer me
So when you don't dance, it be like I'm choking from cancer
Like I wrote rancid rhymes, I can't survive
Sure, I rationalize like, oh, I see..
But if you don't like my cut, its like you don't like me
Some stuff works, some works not so well
Its like you work like [bad word]  still get hurt like [bad word] Yo, it could tear you apart
But don't let your wins go to your heard
Your losses go to your heart
& if we ever get the pleasure to meet
Be clever with it, measure what you yell in the [bad word] on...
 [bad word] 

Whoo, would you.....
Whoo, could you.....
 [bad word]
