Nobody Knows |
| IIIIIIIII didn’t know, there’d be troubles along the way |
| Nobody told me nothin, nobody told me nothin, nothin |
| Well, well, ohh, ohhhh, ohhhhhh, oahh-ohhhh |
| Well, ay-heyyy, ay-hey, we-ell |
| Uh-huh, uh-huh-huh, uh-huh-huh, uh-huh-huh |
| I went through, 8 different schools in, 12 different years |
| That’s 30 different teachers, over ten thousand different peers |
| And I done fought in e’ryone, been suspended e’rytime |
| Besides a few a felony, done committed e’ry crime |
| But never braggin on, just want you to see me what I done done |
| I’m never proud of it, so I don’t have to go back there again |
| And uhh, I used to go like house to house (man) |
| Sleepin on couch to couch (you know) |
| Walk around stickin out my hands, lookin for a handout |
| Only thing I handed out was more bills |
| Only thing pulled me out was my will |
| God told me the sun don’t chill |
| Determined to make use of one of these skills |
| Either that or go beat the block |
| Ain’t no way you can beat the cops |
| Ain’t no way I can beat the clock |
| Just a matter of time shut down your shop |
| Ohh, you stay up day and nights, livin this way of life |
| I was Young and Restless |
| All My Children came and then I had a Guiding Light (hey) |
| No more of that sittin mayne (c'mon) sittin and waitin |
| And thinkin somebody comin to take me up off them streets |
| But now I know. |
| Nobody told me that the road would be easy, yeah |
| I don’t believe, I’ve made it this far |
| My whole life, man I’ve been workin so hard and I know |
| Nobody told me that the road would be easy (Whoaaaaaa, that the road) |
| I can’t believe, I’ve made it this far (Whoo, yeahhh) |
| My whole life, man I’ve been workin so hard and I know |
| I can tell you right now, I’m sayin |
| I could sit here and count on one hand |
| How many people seen me graduate |
| I know a few that did but a bunch that ain’t (hey) |
| Same folks showin up in swarms, waitin for me to go on |
| Wantin to see Ali perform, wasn’t so po' before |
| I became this household name |
| I was playin them Little League games |
| Nobody curred if I go 0-for-3 |
| Nobody out hurr rootin for me but my Momma |
| Supported me in e’rything, «Why she get e’rything?» |
| Some people got the nerve to ask |
| Y’all can kiss my ass, and that’s my Momma |
| Got a sister that need my help (hey) and I gave peace all with wealth |
| Give anything that I have, just to see her in perfect health |
| Now we out hurr complainin, «I got work to do» (ohh) |
| How bad you think you got it, somebody else got it worse than you (hey) |
| I done had them down and ups and, don’t plan on comin back down (no) |
| Don’t plan on leavin hurr no time soon, but I got too comfortable now |
| Wouldn’t have no knowledge of wealth, without no knowledge of self |
| And I’ma keep walkin this road — my mind, body and soul |
| I know |
| I didn’t knowwwww |
| There’d be troubles along the way (I didn’t know there’d be troubles) |
| Nobody told me nothin (nobody told me nothin) |
| That would help me to ease my pain (to help ease my pain, yeah) |
| I’ve been walkin this roooooad, for forever and a day (forever and a day) |
| Now I’ve been searchin somethin (whoa-ohhh) |
| For someone to help me find my way (somebody help me, find my way) |
| And now I know |
