[00:-0.50] Nelly - Nobody Knows (Feat. Anthony Hamilton)
[00:-0.11]
[00:-0.07] IIIIIIIII didn't know, there'd be troubles along the way
[00:05.57] Nobody told me nothin, nobody told me nothin, nothin
[00:10.35] Well, well, ohh, ohhhh, ohhhhhh, oahh-ohhhh
[00:23.05] Well, ay-heyyy, ay-hey, we-ell
[00:30.48] Uh-huh, uh-huh-huh, uh-huh-huh, uh-huh-huh
[00:35.75]
[00:36.00] I went through, 8 different schools in, 12 different years
[00:39.31] That's 30 different teachers, over ten thousand different peers
[00:42.54] And I done fought in e'ryone, been suspended e'rytime
[00:45.67] Besides a few a felony, done committed e'ry crime
[00:49.08] But never braggin on, just want you to see me what I done done
[00:52.43] I'm never proud of it, so I don't have to go back there again
[00:55.95] And uhh, I used to go like house to house (man)
[00:57.82] Sleepin on couch to couch (you know)
[00:59.80] Walk around stickin out my hands, lookin for a handout
[01:02.77] Only thing I handed out was more bills
[01:04.61] Only thing pulled me out was my will
[01:06.15] God told me the sun don't chill
[01:07.76] Determined to make use of one of these skills
[01:09.44] Either that or go beat the block
[01:11.04] Ain't no way you can beat the cops
[01:12.62] Ain't no way I can beat the clock
[01:14.33] Just a matter of time shut down your shop
[01:15.98] Ohh, you stay up day and nights, livin this way of life
[01:19.33] I was +Young and Restless+
[01:20.76] +All My Children+ came and then I had a +Guiding Light+ (hey)
[01:22.89] No more of that sittin mayne (c'mon) sittin and waitin
[01:25.90] and thinkin somebody comin to take me up off them streets
[01:28.83] But now I know..
[01:29.56]
[01:30.33] Nobody told me that the road would be easy, yeah
[01:36.21] I don't believe, I've made it this far
[01:39.23] My whole life, man I've been workin so hard and I know
[01:43.47] Nobody told me that the road would be easy (Whoaaaaaa, that the road)
[01:49.22] I can't believe, I've made it this far (Whoo, yeahhh)
[01:52.54] My whole life, man I've been workin so hard and I know
[01:56.22]
[01:56.43] I can tell you right now, I'm sayin
[01:57.78] I could sit here and count on one hand
[01:59.42] How many people seen me graduate
[02:00.74] I know a few that did but a bunch that ain't (hey)
[02:02.75] Same folks showin up in swarms, waitin for me to go on
[02:06.15] Wantin to see Ali perform, wasn't so po' before
[02:09.25] I became this household name
[02:11.07] I was playin them Little League games
[02:12.76] Nobody curred if I go 0-for-3
[02:13.95] Nobody out hurr rootin for me but my Momma
[02:16.17] Supported me in e'rything, "Why she get e'rything?"
[02:19.37] Some people got the nerve to ask
[02:20.73] Y'all can kiss my ass, and that's my Momma
[02:22.79] Got a sister that need my help (hey) and I gave peace all with wealth
[02:25.92] Give anything that I have, just to see her in perfect health
[02:29.29] Now we out hurr complainin, "I got work to do" (ohh)
[02:32.52] How bad you think you got it, somebody else got it worse than you (hey)
[02:35.87] I done had them down and ups and, don't plan on comin back down (no)
[02:39.33] Don't plan on leavin hurr no time soon, but I got too comfortable now
[02:42.58] Wouldn't have no knowledge of wealth, without no knowledge of self
[02:45.82] And I'ma keep walkin this road - my mind, body and soul
[02:48.88] I know
[02:49.98]
[02:50.22] Nobody told me that the road would be easy, yeah
[02:55.73] I don't believe, I've made it this far
[02:58.90] My whole life, man I've been workin so hard and I know
[03:03.12] Nobody told me that the road would be easy (Whoaaaaaa, that the road)
[03:09.65] I can't believe, I've made it this far (Whoo, yeahhh)
[03:12.24] My whole life, man I've been workin so hard and I know
[03:15.82]
[03:16.19] I didn't knowwwww
[03:18.53] There'd be troubles along the way (I didn't know there'd be troubles)
[03:22.75] Nobody told me nothin (nobody told me nothin)
[03:25.27] That would help me to ease my pain (to help ease my pain, yeah)
[03:29.00] I've been walkin this roooooad, for forever and a day (forever and a day)
[03:35.46] Now I've been searchin somethin (whoa-ohhh)
[03:38.51] For someone to help me find my way (somebody help me, find my way)
[03:41.84] And now I know
[03:42.71]
[03:43.15] Nobody told me that the road would be easy, yeah
[03:48.89] I don't believe, I've made it this far
