Nelly - Nobody Knows (Feat. Anthony Hamilton) |
|
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 |
|
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 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 |
|
Nobody told me that the road would be easy, yeah |
|

|
My whole life, man I've been workin so hard and I know |
