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 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 |
|
[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) |
|
[refrain] |
|
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 |
