Luyện nghe bài hát If I

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

If hadn't died when I was young
Would me and sis been so from jump?
If dad lost his mind 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 Flash
It was hands of my that held me back
Yes, without them I'd MJ slidin' backwards

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

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

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

If I hadn't up in the 80's
Experiencing the things that made me
Would I be standing center stage
to innovate new ways to demonstrate?

If hadn't turned off Mork and Mindy
To us divorce was pending
Would him and me have spent 23 years in a frenzy
Moving back and forth such forceful energy?

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

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

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 only 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 the blade was in a loved one's hand
If I had known of the possible
If I had the altar was meant for me

But now I know nobody can predict
And now I there's cracks in the picket fence
Now I know that something exists
And now I know a life can be from this

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

Now I know there's treasure hidden in these
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 would be a 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,
