Aceyalone - I Never Knew lyrics

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
