Aceyalone - I Never Knew

Pump it up a little bit


Alright look





[verse one]


See I never really new life could be so hard


I never really new pain til I got scared


I never knew people could be so cold


I never knew wrong til I was ten years old


I never knew fighten til I got my ass kicked


I never knew gettin’ got til I got tricked


I never knew healthy til I got sick


And I never knew people killed people so quick


YoI never knew mind power could be so deep


And I never knew hardship was mine to keep


And I never knew the wolves attack the sheep in their sleep


And I never knew people played people so cheap


YoI never knew that we was in such bad shape


And I never knew what I would have to do for the papes


And I never knew that I would put my life on tape


And I never knew hip hop would be my escape


See I never knew real folks could be so few


And I never knew so many people don’t got a clue


And I never knew beautiful til I met you


Butnever say never because it never comes true





[verse two]


Hey yoI never knew that some nigga’s just don’t bury beef


I never knew that I brought you so much grief


I never knew that you was a two time thief


The way you stole my heart was beyond belief


YoI never knew my medicine would come in a leaf


And I never knew that life could be so brief


And I never knew that I would get no relief


I never knew so many indians that wanna be chief


YoI never knew the wrong move could cost yo life


And I never knew the wrong move could cause yo strife


And I never knew money could just buy you fun


And I never knew so much power came with a gun


YoI never knew that I would have such bad luck


And I never knew the next man could get you stuck


And I never knew lighting til I got struck


And I never knew that you would go so low for the buck


YoI never knew real folks could be so few


And I never knew so many people don’t got a clue


And I never knew beautiful til I met you


Butnever say never because it nver comes true





[verse three]


SeeI never knew the future would be like the past


And I never knew a woman could just slang that ass


YoI never knew that you were so sassafras


I never knew that you played the game so fast


I never knew that there was no time to waste


And I never knew no one who could take your place


YoI never knew reality til you showed me a taste


And I never knew how you made my heart beat race


YoI never knew courage until I got brave


And I never knew discipline until I behaved


And I never knew freedom until I became a slave


And I never knew that I would take this to the grave


YoI never knew that I had so much to lose


And I never knew I had so many to choose


And I never knew an ego was so easily bruised


And I never knew the game until I studied the rules


See I never knew real folks could be so few


And I never knew so many people don’t got a clue


And I never knew beautiful til I met you


But never say never because it never comes true


(truetrue)





[refrain]


Never say never because it never comes true


I never knew that I would be about the revenue


Never say never because it never comes true


OhI never knew that you didn’t know what they was telling you


Never say never because it never comes true


I never knew this about the heaven and the hell in you (ha yeah)


Never say never because it never comes true


I never knew
