[00:21.75]I never knew
[00:22.94]That I'd be here with you
[00:24.27]For as long as I have
[00:25.48]Standing strong on the path
[00:26.89]Where potential and hard work lead to success
[00:29.50]So the longer I last
[00:30.81]Mean the more that I'm blessed
[00:32.24]But through all the test
[00:33.56]I was haunted by doubt
[00:34.89]Sometimes it's like the grim reaper is calling me out
[00:37.46]So you may not fully grasp how truly weird this is
[00:40.57]When my troubled past had so many near misses
[00:43.12]I knew that I could talk but I never knew you listened
[00:45.48]Or that even in the darkest of nights you could glisten
[00:48.38]I never realized
[00:49.53]That I touched real lives
[00:51.23]Nodding to a universal beat and feel vibes
[00:53.69]That give life meaning and unite like minds
[00:56.43]Had no idea that your struggle's like mine
[00:59.15]Now I just go where my flow and light shine
[01:01.81]Never knew all I could do with tight rhymes
[01:04.40]Believe this
[01:05.10]I never knew that I'd see this
[01:06.99]Or that I had the strength to achieve this
[01:09.08]But on the other hand
[01:10.40]I never knew I'd pick up the pieces
[01:12.54]When they didn't live to see this
[01:14.43]I really miss my fan
[01:15.72]I never knew I carry the weight
[01:17.55]From my birth to my burial date
[01:19.57]And though I never knew
[01:22.45]I'm getting through
[01:24.20]Keep on
[01:25.24]
[01:25.77]I never knew when I was at the crib bumping my favorites
[01:28.43]That one day I'd be including in somebody's playlist
[01:31.18]Only right I take this opportunity to show love
[01:33.93]To you people listening in places I don't know of
[01:36.46]But see I didn't grow up in the best of situations
[01:38.98]For thinking out the box you sort of get a reputation
[01:41.76]Of living in a dream world with lots of expectations
[01:44.49]But I refuse to live by another's limitations
[01:47.14]I never knew for sure
[01:48.31]I'd make it in the door
[01:49.57]But where I'm at now leaves room for plenty more
[01:52.54]Moves to be made one day at a time
[01:54.91]And paths to be paved way after I've rhymed
[01:57.58]For the very last time
[01:58.89]And retired my mic
[02:00.13]And truly focus on my fan who require insight
[02:02.85]And guidance with undying alliance
[02:05.61]But I never knew I'd be in the position that I'm in
[02:08.28]Believe this
[02:09.12]I never knew that I'd see this
[02:11.03]Or that I had the strength to achieve this
[02:13.01]But on the other hand
[02:14.39]I never knew I'd pick up the pieces
[02:16.51]When they didn't live to see this
[02:18.41]I really miss my fan
[02:19.71]I never knew I carry the weight
[02:21.46]From my birth to my burial date
[02:23.62]And though I never knew
[02:26.43]I'm getting through
[02:28.29]Keep on
[02:29.54]So much I gotta do
[02:30.72]It don't mean much to you
[02:32.20]Back then I didn't know how
[02:34.60]It's so much I never knew
[02:36.19]So much I gotta do
[02:37.86]Knowing what I know now
[02:39.70]
[02:40.52]You never know how many folk want you to stop
[02:42.90]And that people closest to you can be stumbling blocks
[02:45.47]Who anticipate your faults like they're something to watch
[02:48.18]And hope your foundation turns into crumbling rocks
[02:50.99]I never knew that hate of that level existed
[02:53.73]It can poison your spirit if you never resist it
[02:56.50]Grows stronger with the more attention you give it
[02:58.93]I embrace only love and try to omit the wicked
[03:01.54]But it comes in all shaped and sizes
[03:03.65]Your faith and brightness
[03:04.79]Is no match for their great disguises
[03:07.06]I keep on fighting though the battles are many
[03:09.95]Bet never knew that I had all that in me
[03:12.25]Believe this
[03:13.11]I never knew that I'd see this
[03:14.97]Or that I had the strength to achieve this
[03:17.01]But on the other hand
[03:18.36]I never knew I'd pick up the pieces
[03:20.49]When they didn't live to see this
[03:22.36]I really miss my fan
[03:23.73]I never knew I carry the weight
[03:25.53]From my birth to my burial date
[03:27.62]And though I never knew
[03:30.47]I'm getting through
[03:32.27]Keep on
[03:32.98]I can't believe this
[03:34.48]I never knew that I'd see this
[03:36.40]Or that I had the strength to achieve this
[03:38.42]But on the other hand
[03:39.68]I never knew I'd pick up the pieces
[03:41.89]When they didn't live to see this
[03:43.78]I really miss my fan
[03:45.06]I never knew I carry the weight
[03:46.86]From my birth to my burial date
[03:48.91]And though I never knew
[03:51.76]I'm getting through
[03:53.59]Keep on
