I Never Knew (Feat. Substantial) -Ayumi Remix-
I never knew that I'd be here with you
For as long as I have
Standing strong on the path
Where potential and hard work lead to success
So the longer I last
Mean the more that I'm blessed
But through all the test
I was haunted by doubt
Sometimes it's like the grim reaper is calling me out
So you may not fully grasp how truly weird this is
When my troubled past had so many near misses
I knew that I could talk but I never knew you listened
Or that even in the darkest of nights you could glisten
I never realized
That I touched real lives
Nodding to a universal beat and feel vibes
That give life meaning and unite like minds
Had no idea that your struggle's like mine

Never knew all I could do with tight rhymes
I can't believe this
I never knew that I'd see this
Or that I had the strength to achieve this
But on the other hand
I never knew I'd pick up the pieces
When they didn't live to see this
I really miss my fan
I never knew I carry the weight
From my birth to my burial date
And though I never knew
I'm getting through Keep on

I never knew when I was at the crib bumping my favorites
That one day I'd be including in somebody's playlist
Only right I take this opportunity to show love
To you people listening in places I don't know of
But see I didn't grow up in the best of situations
For thinking out the box you sort of get a reputation
Of living in a dream world with loft expectations
But I refuse to live by another's limitations
I never knew for sure
I'd make it in the door
But where I'm at now leaves room for plenty more
Moves to be made one day at a time
And paths to be paved way after I've rhymed
For the very last time
And retired my mic
And truly focus on my fan who require insight
And guidance with undying alliance
But I never knew I'd be in the position that I'm in
I can't believe this
I never knew that I'd see this
Or that I had the strength to achieve this
But on the other hand
I never knew I'd pick up the pieces
When they didn't live to see this
I really miss my fan
I never knew I carry the weight
From my birth to my burial date
And though I never knew
I'm getting through Keep on

I can't believe this
I never knew that I'd see this
Or that I had the strength to achieve this
But on the other hand
I never knew I'd pick up the pieces
When they didn't live to see this
I really miss my fan
I never knew I carry the weight
From my birth to my burial date
And though I never knew
I'm getting through Keep on
I can't believe this
I never knew that I'd see this
Or that I had the strength to achieve this
But on the other hand
I never knew I'd pick up the pieces
When they didn't live to see this
I really miss my fan
I never knew I carry the weight
From my birth to my burial date
And though I never knew
I'm getting through Keep on
So much I gotta do
It don't mean much to you
Back then I didn't know how
It's so much I never knew
So much I gotta do
Knowing what I know now
So much I gotta do
It don't mean much to you
Back then I didn't know how
It's so much I never knew
So much I gotta do
Knowing what I know now
