Luyện nghe bài hát If I

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

If hadn't died when I was young
me and sis been so tight 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 where the went
I was to the edge like Grand Master Flash said
It was hands of my that held me back
Yes, them I'd MJ keep slidin' backwards

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

If I, if I, if I had known
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 grown up in the 80's
Experiencing the various that made me
Would I still be center stage
Trying to new ways to demonstrate?

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

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

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

If I, if I, if I had known
That I would be a lamb to the
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 had known awaited was unplanned
If I had known the blade was in a loved hand
If I had known of the possible
If I had known the altar was for me

But now I know nobody can predict
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 would still
If I had known that time wouldn't the pain
If I had the intent of the injury
If I had known the altar wasn't for me

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

If I, if I, if I had known
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,
