Aceyalone - I Never Knew lyrics

Pump it up a little bit alright look

See I never really new life could be so hard
I never really new pain til I got scarred
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

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

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)

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
