Luyện nghe bài hát If I

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

If momma hadn't died when I was
Would me and sis been so tight jump?
If dad hadn't his mind to a disease
Would I be up here askin' to notice me?

In the dark times, didn't know where the went
I was to the edge like Grand Master Flash said
It was hands of my friends held me back
Yes, without them I'd MJ slidin' backwards

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

If I, if I, if I had only
That I would be a lamb to the
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 various things that me
I still be standing center stage
Trying to innovate new to demonstrate?

If mommy-daddy turned off Mork and Mindy
To inform us was pending
Would him and me spent these 23 years in a frenzy
Moving back and forth with forceful energy?

I remember I was a little baby
there alone on my pillow casing
Upset already I could the aging
The urge to return was

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

If I, if I, if I had only
I would be a lamb to the slaughter
Now I
If I, if I, if I had known
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 had known what was unplanned
If I had known the blade was in a loved 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 know there's in the picket fence
Now I know something else exists
And now I know a life can be built this

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

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

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,
