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 a** kicked I never knew gettin' got til i got tricked I never knew healthy til i got sick And i never knew people k**ed 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 n***a'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 a** Yo, i never knew that you were so sa**afras 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
