I never knew

[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
Yo, I 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
Yo, I 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
But, Never Say Never Because It Never Comes True

[verse Two]
Hey Yo, I 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
Yo, I 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
Yo, I 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
Yo, I 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
Yo, 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 Nver Comes True

[verse Three]
See, I Never Knew the Future Would Be Like the Past
And I Never Knew a Woman Could Just Slang That Ass
Yo, I 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
Yo, I Never Knew Reality Til You Showed Me a Taste
And I Never Knew How You Made My Heart Beat Race
Yo, I 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
Yo, I 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
(True, True)

[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
Oh, I 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
