I never knew That I'd be here with you For as long as I have Standing strong on the path Where potential and hard work lead to success So the longer I last Mean the more that I'm blessed But through all the test I was haunted by doubt Sometimes it's like the grim reaper is calling me out So you may not fully grasp how truly weird this is When my troubled past had so many near misses I knew that I could talk but I never knew you listened Or that even in the darkest of nights you could glisten I never realized That I touched real lives Nodding to a universal beat and feel vibes That give life meaning and unite like minds Had no idea that your struggle's like mine Now I just go where my flow and light shine Never knew all I could do with tight rhymes Believe this I never knew that I'd see this Or that I had the strength to achieve this But on the other hand I never knew I'd pick up the pieces When they didn't live to see this I really miss my fan I never knew I carry the weight From my birth to my burial date And though I never knew I'm getting through Keep on
I never knew when I was at the crib bumping my favorites That one day I'd be including in somebody's playlist Only right I take this opportunity to show love To you people listening in places I don't know of But see I didn't grow up in the best of situations For thinking out the box you sort of get a reputation Of living in a dream world with lots of expectations But I refuse to live by another's limitations I never knew for sure I'd make it in the door But where I'm at now leaves room for plenty more Moves to be made one day at a time And paths to be paved way after I've rhymed For the very last time And retired my mic And truly focus on my fan who require insight And guidance with undying alliance But I never knew I'd be in the position that I'm in Believe this I never knew that I'd see this Or that I had the strength to achieve this But on the other hand I never knew I'd pick up the pieces When they didn't live to see this I really miss my fan I never knew I carry the weight From my birth to my burial date And though I never knew I'm getting through Keep on So much I gotta do It don't mean much to you Back then I didn't know how It's so much I never knew So much I gotta do Knowing what I know now
You never know how many folk want you to stop And that people closest to you can be stumbling blocks Who anticipate your faults like they're something to watch And hope your foundation turns into crumbling rocks I never knew that hate of that level existed It can poison your spirit if you never resist it Grows stronger with the more attention you give it I embrace only love and try to omit the wicked But it comes in all shaped and sizes Your faith and brightness Is no match for their great disguises I keep on fighting though the battles are many Bet never knew that I had all that in me Believe this I never knew that I'd see this Or that I had the strength to achieve this But on the other hand I never knew I'd pick up the pieces When they didn't live to see this I really miss my fan I never knew I carry the weight From my birth to my burial date And though I never knew I'm getting through Keep on I can't believe this I never knew that I'd see this Or that I had the strength to achieve this But on the other hand I never knew I'd pick up the pieces When they didn't live to see this I really miss my fan I never knew I carry the weight From my birth to my burial date And though I never knew I'm getting through Keep on
