[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)[03:26.47](Repeat x 1)[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
