Lyrics
Now I feel like I'm the greatest
What if I'm the one
Always been my raining days
I'm coming like the sun

They put me on their shoulder
See I'm talking like the drum
Before everything began
They knew the what if I'd become

When I started a lot of people promised to put me on
But when they get to meet me they just ask me where do you belong
Moments I knew nothing was for me I had to do it all
For every time I feel alone I'm sure to put my hoodies on

So it's like what if I stop being negative and start being positive
What if I get to meet them and show them all these qualities
What if I later get to make my mum proud and my bro proud
And I tell them say na music I wan do cos I love this thing

And some of the things I call delay might just be my growth process
It's always sad when I see the success that my flows don't get
See the things that happens behind the scenes that they don't notice
Na only me know wetin I dey think when I dey closet

End up like 2pac or you end up like Jay Z nah
Get yourself a suit or you mess up like a simp
Told me not to do this you know this fame can deceive
At the end of the day I just want to end up like a me

This might take me 10 years Imma get to where I wanna be
This shit is coming from the I'm different from these wannabes
Nah I really messed with hip hop, dancehall, bounced on R & B
So if you ever doubted me I demand some apologies

Many things I tried to quit and many things they stopped me from
Some times I'm just alone in my room no one to cheer me up
Many tried to break me down I told them I will not give up
They be like what If I don't blow then I be like

What if not
They be like what If I don't blow then I be like
What if not

Then they be like I be talking now with so much confidence
I named myself Emaxee then I grew him to become the best
Shit they called me narcissist I dey wait who go talk me less
And if no be this love many people for dey pour me dirt

Message to my fans, to my family and friends
Thank y'all for saying keep believing in yourself
I will do you proud, you won't be settling for less
And in years to come, people will be calling me the best

And just in case you ever find yourself in my shoes
Then you keep doubting cos of fear that you might lose
Never stop the fun, just relax and keep going
Cos the people that you look up to are exactly like you

Some times I want to say these words but I need to bottle up
They told me be a man so these hustle has to double up
I lost a couple friends before here so I have to play rightly
RIP to BlessingTino, RIP to H-Ranking

But what if blow now then I die after
I feel like these are some of the questions that I can't answer
But if life kicks me down I promise to bounce right back
After I bounce right back I will make you proud after

Oh now I'm living fine, I can clearly see the signs
I see a bright future looking at me through the eyes
If you ever want to give up remember where I was coming from
And see the transition from what if to becoming what if not

Now all they wanna do is to get bitches and get money
I get to boost their ego like oh I'm really scared of them
Big shout out to God for making me see what he's been telling me
So when life gave me lemons I made Oranges and Lemonade
