What if......

One of my favorite rap songs ever is a song called "What If" by Fredro Star.  It inspired me to write this:

What if I was born 100 years ago?
Would I have lived this long?
Would there have been medicine to save me?
Would the doctors have diagnosed me wrong?
What if Twitter existed in 1991?
How would the athletes be?
Would Magic still announce on television he had HIV?
What if Amy Winehouse never overdosed?
She may never have been the best singer in the world but she'd be close.
What if Axel never had Slash?
What if Paris never had cash?
What if no one ever found Bernie's 9 billion dollar stash?
What if George Clooney stayed in TV and never left ER?
What if Whitney never did cocaine?
Would she still be a star?
What if Mike Vick never got busted?
Would he still be in Atlanta?
What if Christmas was more about Jesus-would kids believe in Santa?
What if Kanye never interrupted Taylor on stage?
What if inflation considered minimum wage?
What if Tim Tebow was black?
Would he get this many shots?
Or would he be buried on the depth chart and left to rot?
What if Facebook was down?
for 11 months a year?
Could you imagine all the voices you actually might hear?
What if steroids were allowed in the 4 major sports?
Records would be shattered.
No athletes at the Supreme court.
What if cancer didn't exist?
No more chemo. No more drugs.
What if marijuana was legal?
No more buying from street corner thugs.

What if Ron Paul became president?
Would we find a reason to hate?
Would all the young one's supporting him
stick by his side when policies are late?
What if I never bought that first cell phone?
Would I be alone?
Would people still want to be around me if the shirt on my back was all I owned?
What if Jesus didn't rise from the dead?
Would people believe in him then?
What if skinheads grew their hair out?
What if Stimpy didn't have Ren?
What if we didn't have a Revolution?
Still under English rule.
What if Ohio State merged with Michigan and became one school?
What if JFK didn't get shot, no matter who it was by?
What if Bill Clinton never had his affair
and told his stupid lie?
What if David Tyree dropped it,
instead of pinning it to his head?
The Pats would've been the champs,
but it was their only loss instead.
What if I never read Silverstein?
Would I ever want to write?
What if  Tiger never cheated?
He and Elin would still be tight.
What if Charlie didn't go crazy?
No more winning, no more insane.
What if there is no God?
You couldn't use his name in vain.
It's a crazy would we live in,
I think about it sometimes,
when I sit here out of boredom
my questions turn into rhymes.
