Lyrics - I Never Knew by 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 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
