Yoh ayy…….. It’s Caliboy
If it was up to me, eh
If it was up to me, yeah
If it was up to me, I would turn back the time
Reverse every step n decision, change every sign
I would choose a different road, a different way (so that I don’t get here)
Naku chinja ma faces na vintu that brought me pain today
I would rewind the clock, make it all undo the story naku yambamo futi again
Pantu mmmh this story is not one I would say I wanted nor wish for,
The pain the hustles the betrayals ma pressure na ma failures
But life doesn’t work that way, what I want doesn’t come through
What I don't want is what appears naku chitika
That's the story of my years, but don’t be sorry
Life goes on coz I’m still holding on till comes the new dawn,
It’s the reason I’m still standing, patiently waiting for my season
But time seems too slow though fast…. That’s why I’m saying
If it was up to me (up to me)
I would go back in time naku chinja vintu vambili che
If it was up to me (up to me)
I would go where my story begins naku ilembululamo again
Naku chosamo ma shock na ma pressure ta
I would turn around and walk away from wrong people (walk away)
If it was up to me (up to me)
I would go back in time nakubadwila mu banja yandalama
Pantu mmh there’s no honor in poverty boi
But that's life, that's life, ayy
Va mene ufuna sindiye vamene vichitika (no no no no) but
What you don't want is what comes (what comes)
If it was up to me (up to me)
But that's life, we keep on keeping on, that's life
Mmh elo I ninga chite reverse the meeting, avoid that day
Choose a different destination, find another way
I would dodge the mistakes that cost peace, and make the pain and all the hurt just cease
They say ati we shape our future with the choices that we make
But every road I didn't take just led me to this place
I'm grateful for the lessons but I'm tired of the pain
Wish I could see the future, dodge the falling rain
Mmh I would choose the wisdom that I gained too late
But life doesn’t ask for permission, it just comes and goes
So I hold what I can handle and I let the rest go.
But if it was up to me, I would become a superman with super powers and do it all
Defeat what defeated me and hold tight n safe what slipped off my hands
If it was up to me (up to me)
I would go back in time naku chinja vintu vambili che
If it was up to me (up to me)
I would go where my story begins naku ilembululamo again
Naku chosamo ma shock na ma pressure ta
I would turn around and walk away from wrong people (walk away)
If it was up to me (up to me)
I would go back in time nakubadwila mu banja yandalama
Pantu mmh there’s no honor in poverty boi
But that's life, that's life, ayy
Va mene ufuna sindiye vamene vichitika (no no no no) but
What you don't want is what comes (what comes)
If it was up to me (up to me)
But that's life, we keep on keeping on, that's life
If it was up to me, mmh I would go back in time and choose good words than the ones I said,
(for now I know that words are life)
I would avoid wrong thoughts and control my emotions, I would say the truth where I lied
I would reverse my decision and ask God to show me what to do instead.
I would avoid leaning on my own understanding and trusting in my strength
If it was up to me, I would go back in time and ask God to lead me away from meeting fake friends
I would have asked God to show me the now so I could avoid getting here (if it was up to me)
If it was up to me (up to me)
I would go back in time naku chinja vintu vambili che
If it was up to me (up to me)
I would go where my story begins naku ilembululamo again
Naku chosamo ma shock na ma pressure ta
I would turn around and walk away from wrong people (walk away)
If it was up to me (up to me)
I would go back in time nakubadwila mu banja yandalama
Pantu mmh there’s no honor in poverty boi
But that's life, that's life, ayy
Va mene ufuna sindiye vamene vichitika (no no no no) but
What you don't want is what comes (what comes)
If it was up to me (up to me)
But that's life, we keep on keeping on, that's life
Yeah I did my best
I gave it all my rest
But some things not meant for me
Some roads lead where they lead
Yoh, that's life, ayy
That's life, eh that's life
If it was up to me, I Would if I Could
