NOBODY KNOWS featuring ANTHONY HAMILTON

I did know. (way) There'd be troubles along the way. Nobody told me nothing Nobody told me nothing Nothing. (Well) Oh… I went through 8 different schools And 12 different years That's 30 teachers over 10 thousand different peers. And not in fault in every one That spend over time The size of fewer fell in me And committed dirty crimes And they were braggin' on me I just want you to see me and what I've done I'm never proud of it, so I don't have to go back there again And go like house to house, and man Sleeping on couch to couch, you know Walk around stickin' out my hands, lookin' for a hand out Only thing I handed out was more bills Only thing that pulled me out was my will God told me the sun don't chill Determined to make you use one of these skills We gotta go to the heat the blocks Ain't no way you can heat the cops Ain't no way I can heat the clocks Just a matter of time, shut down your shot You stay up day and night Livin' this way of life I was young and restless, all my children came And then I had a guiding light. No more dat sittin' man, Sittin' and waitin' and thinkin' somebody comin' to take me up off the streets But now I know. Nobody told me that the road would be easy Look at me I 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 I can't believe I've made it this far My whole life, man I've been workin' so hard. And I know. I can tell you right now I'm stayin' I be call one“Heyin'” How many people see me graduate I'm know a few that did but a bunch that ain't, hey Seein' folks showin' up in swarms Waitin' for me to go on Want to see Nelly perform. What was this before I became this household name I was playin' a million games No one cared if I went 0 for 3 Nobody out here rooting for me, my mama Supporting me in everythin' Why she get everythin' Some people got the nerve to ask, Why don't you kiss my ass Man, that's my mama Got a sister that need my help In a game we'd sell our wealth Give anything I have just to see her improvin' health Now we out here complainin' we got work to do How bad you think you got it somebody else got it worse than you Thought I had those ups things Don't plannin' on comin' back down Don't plan on leavin' her no times 4 Why I got too comfortable right now Without no knowledge no wealth Without no knowledge yourself I gonna keep walkin' this road, my mind, body and soul.
