I Never Knew Lyrics - Accepted Eclectic - Aceyalone

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 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 

[Verse Two] 

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 want to 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 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)
