Aceyalone - I Never Knew Lyrics
Pump it up a little bitAlright look[verse one]See I never really new life could be so hardI never really new pain til I got scaredI never knew people could be so coldI never knew wrong til I was ten years oldI never knew fighten til I got my ass kickedI never knew gettin got til I got trickedI never knew healthy til I got sickAnd I never knew people killed people so quickYo, I never knew mind power could be so deepAnd I never knew hardship was mine to keepAnd I never knew the wolves attack the sheep in their sleepAnd I never knew people played people so cheapYo, I never knew that we was in such bad shapeAnd I never knew what I would have to do for the papesAnd I never knew that I would put my life on tapeAnd I never knew hip hop would be my escapeSee I never knew real folks could be so fewAnd I never knew so many people dont got a clueAnd I never knew beautiful til I met youBut, never say never because it never comes true[verse two]Hey yo, I never knew that some niggas just dont bury beefI never knew that I brought you so much griefI never knew that you was a two time thiefThe way you stole my heart was beyond beliefYo, I never knew my medicine would come in a leafAnd I never knew that life could be so briefAnd I never knew that I would get no reliefI never knew so many indians that wanna be chiefYo, I never knew the wrong move could cost yo lifeAnd I never knew the wrong move could cause yo strifeAnd I never knew money could just buy you funAnd I never knew so much power came with a gunYo, I never knew that I would have such bad luckAnd I never knew the next man could get you stuckAnd I never knew lighting til I got struckAnd I never knew that you would go so low for the buckYo, I never knew real folks could be so fewAnd I never knew so many people dont got a clueAnd I never knew beautiful til I met youBut, never say never because it nver comes true[verse three]See, I never knew the future would be like the pastAnd I never knew a woman could just slang that assYo, I never knew that you were so sassafrasI never knew that you played the game so fastI never knew that there was no time to wasteAnd I never knew no one who could take your placeYo, I never knew reality til you showed me a tasteAnd I never knew how you made my heart beat raceYo, I never knew courage until I got braveAnd I never knew discipline until I behavedAnd I never knew freedom until I became a slaveAnd I never knew that I would take this to the graveYo, I never knew that I had so much to loseAnd I never knew I had so many to chooseAnd I never knew an ego was so easily bruisedAnd I never knew the game until I studied the rulesSee I never knew real folks could be so fewAnd I never knew so many people dont got a clueAnd I never knew beautiful til I met youBut never say never because it never comes true(true, true)[refrain]Never say never because it never comes trueI never knew that I would be about the revenueNever say never because it never comes trueOh, I never knew that you didnt know what they was telling youNever say never because it never comes trueI never knew this about the heaven and the hell in you (ha yeah)Never say never because it never comes trueI never knew
