What you could’ve been
You could’ve been a philosopher
Bu instead you wasted time
You could have been a history teacher
Instead you toot that line
You should have been a role model
To those that looked to you
Instead you gave them crack
And they almost blew it too
Detect anger and bitterness its real
This taste of disgust savored like a meal
Do you ever think what you could have been
Isolated in your world of imaginary supremacy
Smoking and spending money on a puff of smoke
One more hit from a heart attack 
One more chip from a stroke
I think of what you could have been
The dreams that faded away
The promise lost, fractured family
Let down over and over again
You that about what you could have been
I’ve heard you say before
Man when I was younger
You could have been
Has been
What you could have been
