Luyện nghe bài hát If I

If I hadn't been a introspective kid
If I hadn't been a nerd, have met with him
If we hadn't observed we'd be the of friends
preferred the spoken word to the toke and binge

If momma hadn't died I was young
Would me and sis been so from jump?
If dad hadn't lost his to a disease
I be up here askin' ya'll to notice me?

In the dark times, didn't know the path went
I was close to the edge like Grand Master said
It was hands of my friends that me back
Yes, without them I'd MJ keep slidin'

Or be a hypocrite like others have been
If that and the other hadn't
Don't know that I'd ever Brer Rabbit
how many if's between hero and has-been?

If I, if I, if I had known
That I be a lamb to the slaughter
Now I
If I, if I, if I had only
I know, I bet it makes me stronger

Now I know, now I
Now I know, know,
Now I know, now I
Now I know, know,

If I grown up in the 80's
Experiencing the things that made me
I still be standing center stage
Trying to innovate new to demonstrate?

If mommy-daddy hadn't turned off and Mindy
To us divorce was pending
Would him and me have these 23 years in a frenzy
back and forth with such forceful energy?

I remember I was a little baby
Lying there alone on my casing
Upset already I could feel the
The urge to was debilitating

And I'm still afraid and need to
Cry a little for the world of play things
Stop looking back on these silly day
along with me if you feel the same way

If I, if I, if I had known
That I be a lamb to the slaughter
Now I
If I, if I, if I had known
I know, I bet it only me stronger

Now I know, now I
Now I know, know,
Now I know, now I
Now I know, know,

If I had what awaited was unplanned
If I had known the blade was in a one's hand
If I had known of the injury
If I had known the was meant for me

But now I know nobody can events
And now I there's cracks in the picket fence
Now I know that something else
And now I know a life can be built this

If I had known emotions still remain
If I had that time wouldn't heal the pain
If I had known the intent of the
If I had the altar wasn't meant for me

Now I there's treasure hidden in these scars
Now I know presence in an empty yard
Now I what it took for me to survive
But now I know where to go to alive

If I, if I, if I had only
That I be a lamb to the slaughter
Now I
If I, if I, if I had only
I know, I bet it only me stronger

Now I know, now I
Now I know, know,
Now I know, now I
Now I know, know,
