daniel rizzo - what if i ain't turned lyrics

[intro]
every story got a choice in it
a second that ain’t loud, but it echoes for life
this one right here?
was quiet… but it shifted everything

[verse]
2019, corner store buzzin’
loose change in my jeans, thoughts full of nothin’
mama said, “don’t linger where the cycles spin,”
but i was knee+deep in pride and original sin

had a walkman on with a pac cassette
no fear in my chest, just a half+lit threat
homie texted like “pull up, we playin’ dice,”
but my gut said “nah,” while my ego said “twice.”

turned on maple, saw marcus and lou
two heads from the past, both known to shoot
but instеad of the heat, i got a nod and grin
what i didn’t know then… was thе weight that held in

see, marcus? he once robbed my cousin
years back, mask on, made nothin’ of it
pops caught wind, almost aired him out
but grace stepped in when his mama found out
[verse 2]
three months later, i rocked a school stage
spoke truth in bars, wrote pain in a cage
princ+p+l said, “you got light in your pen,”
but i still walked past the place i could’ve met my end
found out later from my brother’s friend’s cousin

marcus had the strap — had it c+cked, no bluffin’
said he only chilled ‘cause i smiled first
if i mugged or stepped wrong, it would’ve been a he+rs+
lou told him, “chill, he cool — he one of ours”
that line alone? shifted every star
that day, that second — just a glance and breath
turned a maybe moment into cheated death

[bridge]
see…
the hood doesn’t always explode — sometimes it whispers
sometimes, it’s one look… one word…
that keeps you from being a mural on your mother’s wall

[verse 3 – reflection]
now i pen verses with ghosts in the margins
blessed and burdened by a fate still sharpenin’
they ask how i made it, i just say, “i learned…”
but deep down i wonder…
what if i ain’t turn?
[hook]
what if i ain’t turn… what if i stayed home?
what if my name got carved in
