Luyện nghe bài hát You Never Know - Jean Grae

1]
She was on her way to becoming a graduate
Wouldn't even stop to talk to the kid
The type of latina I'd sit and marriage with
Fuck the horse and carriage shit, her love was never for
Disciplined, intellectual beauty's I desire
Flyer than Salma Hayek or Lopez
Everyone told me, it to her was hopeless
At I just thought, she didn't mess with broke kids
The thug niggaz always talking about, how they kids
But the rich-sniff-coke got no play
"I'm not even interested" is what her body would say
Everyone the way, gave up trying to get in it
It didn't matter how good your was, she wasn't with it
On the block, was jealous, but wouldn't admit it
Talk shit, and to everyone that they did it
'Cause they regreted the list of niggaz that they let hit it
And no one ever gave them shit except McDonald's and
weed with thoughts of envy, whenever they lit it
She smoked intelligently and they bit it, always to copy
But when they tried to use her vocab, they sounded
She had a style, all her own, respectful and
I was sick in the head for her, and wasn't a cure

[Hook - Jean
Don't you know that, time for no man
Not fate, all planned
I'm just to know you
I've loved and I've just to hold you all night
Can't find, a why
God came, to you and I
If I had the again, I'd never let you go
Hold to your love, 'cause you never know

Her eyes are and beautiful, yet empty and sad
I used to talk to her occasionally, and she was
That I wasn't just another nigga to get in it
So every now and we'd stop and talk for a minute
I didn't have a gimmick so the minutes turned to
On her birthday, I gave her a with flowers
Then I took her out to dinner after her baby shower
We about, power to the people and such
We spent more together but it was never enough
I never to sneak a touch, or even cop a feel
I was too interested, in keeping it
Perfectly and complete, she would always call me "carino,"
And Technique, bought me a new book to read every 2 or 3 weeks
changing the expression of my thoughts when I speak
It was because of her, I even deaded all of my
She convinced me, to stop hangin' out on the
To stop robbin' and stealin', people like you
Instead I took her out to the and the Bronxu
We sailed in Barrio (?) and the too
Got to the point when I was with her or my crew
So I decided one day, to tell her my feelings was
I live without her so I told her, facing my fears
But honey's response, was a face full of tears
She only sob hysterically, holding me tight
I tried to speak, but she wouldn't stop until I sight
I felt like a who got himself too close to the light
Except I didn't burn, I turned cold after night

I on with my life, college and my career
Ended up locked up like an for a year
Where the C.O.'s talk to you like they the overseer
Then I got to the hole, when my exit was near
At in my cell, I'd close my eyes and I'd see her
Hold her close in my dreams, but I woke she disappeared
Just an empty cell until the state gave me parole in the
came back, in tact and on
But the of the matter, is I still felt cold
Even after my mother, hugged me, at home
My real niggaz would me thinkin', out of my zone
lots of different women, but I still felt alone
Relatively around the New York underground
But I kept of her and how we used to be down
The sound of her voice, and the smell of her hair
Though gone physically, somehow it was there
I had to do something, because the was too much to bear
So I went and the building where she used to live
The world looks a lot after you do a bid
The way your life changed
While primitive (are) still stuck in the same game
Like her cousin who was on the corner slangin'
Stepped in the lobby and tapped the button next to her last
Her mom buzzed me up and hugged me up, a mother oughta
But her facial expression changed, I asked about her daughter

She told me that there was a for me, that was left behind
She had it there waiting, for such a long time
I was to ask about it but she brought it up first
I saw a tear up in her eye, and then she cursed
She told me where the was and I started thinking the worst
Reversed my position, stepped and opened the door
And sure there was an envelope with my name on the floor
"Nobody you more than me carino" is what the letter said

"By the time you get to read this, I'll be dead
But when you left in '97 a of me went to Heaven
I God at least I got to know what love really was
But it hurt me, to see what true really does
'Cause even though we never made love, you all that there was
It was because I loved you so much I had to make you leave
You me doubt the way I thought, you made me want to believe
And then I slipped up, and I let you get to me
It was hard to not be openly when people to me
This was not the way I my life was supposed to be
Baby don't you see, I had a blood transfusion that left me HIV
Hoped the end for me since late in 1993
I died a virgin, I wish I could've myself to you
I cried in the hospital there was no one else but you
that you'll meet me in paradise inevitably
No matter what, keep your love forever with me"

What happened for the rest of the day is a blur
But I remember that I was dead, instead of her
She was on August 3rd
The ends without a sequel
And now you know why Technique, don't fucking fall in love with
Hold the person that you love closely if they're to you
The one you love, not the that'll simply have sex with you
Appreciate them to the fullest extent, and beyond
'Cause you never know what you got, until it's gone
