[00:41.65]Verse 1
[00:43.49]I never knew
[00:45.44]That I'd be here with you
[00:46.45]For as long as I have
[00:47.54]Standing strong on the path
[00:48.75]Where potential and hard work lead to success
[00:51.27]So the longer I last
[00:52.48]Mean the more that I'm blessed
[00:53.78]But through all the test
[00:55.05]I was haunted by doubt
[00:56.31]Sometimes it's like the grim reaper is calling me out
[00:58.82]So you may not fully grasp how truly weird this is
[01:01.48]When my troubled past had so many near misses
[01:03.93]knew that I could talk but I never knew you listened
[01:06.39]Or that even in the darkest of nights you could glisten
[01:09.02]I never realized
[01:10.77]That I touched real lives
[01:12.14]Nodding to a universal beat and feel vibes
[01:14.19]That give life meaning and unite like minds
[01:16.60]Had no idea that your struggle's like mine
[01:19.20]Now I just go where my flow and light shine
[01:21.71]Never knew all I could do with tight rhymes
[01:23.87]Can't believe this
[01:25.16]I never knew that I'd see this
[01:26.81]Or that I had the strength to achieve this
[01:29.01]But on the other hand
[01:30.41]I never knew I'd pick up the pieces
[01:31.77]When they didn't live to see this
[01:34.06]I really miss my fan
[01:35.17]I never knew I carry the weight
[01:36.87]From my birth to my burial date
[01:39.23]And though I never knew
[01:42.13]I'm getting through (Keep on)
[01:43.66]Verse 2
[01:45.03]Never knew when I was at the crib bumping my favorites
[01:47.40]That one day I'd be including in somebody's playlist
[01:49.96]Only right I take this opportunity to show love
[01:52.52]To you people listening in places I don't know of
[01:55.04]But see I didn't grow up in the best of situations
[01:57.52]For thinking out the box you sort of get a reputation
[02:00.07]Of living in a dream world with lots of expectations
[02:02.62]But I refuse to live by another's limitations
[02:05.21]I never knew for sure
[02:06.47]I'd make it in the door
[02:07.77]But where I'm at now leaves room for plenty more
[02:10.28]Moves to be made one day at a time
[02:12.83]And paths to be paved way after I've rhymed
[02:15.30]For the very last time
[02:16.60]And retired my mic
[02:17.91]And truly focus on my fan who require insight
[02:20.45]And guidance with undying alliance
[02:22.86]But I never knew I'd be in the position that I'm in
[02:25.22]Can't believe this
[02:26.48]I never knew that I'd see this
[02:28.29]Or that I had the strength to achieve this
[02:30.21]But on the other hand
[02:31.66]I never knew I'd pick up the pieces
[02:33.25]When they didn't live to see this
[02:35.25]I really miss my fan
[02:36.91]I never knew I carry the weight
[02:38.32]From my birth to my burial date
[02:40.37]And though I never knew
[02:42.94]I'm getting through (Keep on)

[03:47.26](Repeat x 2)
[04:06.62]Verse 3
[04:07.73]So much I gotta do
[04:09.08]It don't mean much to you
[04:10.48]Back then I didn't know how
[04:12.79]It's so much I never knew
[04:14.20]So much I gotta do
[04:15.60]Knowing what I know now
[04:17.79]So much I gotta do
[04:19.20]It don't mean much to you
[04:20.60]Back then I didn't know how
[04:22.80]It's so much I never knew
[04:24.31]So much I gotta do
[04:25.66]Knowing what I know now
