Luyện nghe bài hát You Never Know - Jean Grae

1]
She was on her way to becoming a graduate
Wouldn't even to talk to the average kid
The type of latina I'd sit and contemplate with
Fuck the horse and carriage shit, her love was for hire
Disciplined, intellectual beauty's I desire
Flyer than Salma Hayek or Jennifer
told me, kickin' it to her was hopeless
At first I just thought, she mess with broke kids
The thug niggaz always talking about, how smoke kids
But the kids got no play
"I'm not even interested" is what her body language say
Everyone the way, gave up trying to get in it
It matter how good your game was, she wasn't with it
On the block, bitches was jealous, but wouldn't it
Talk shit, and deny to everyone they did it
'Cause they the long list of niggaz that they let hit it
And no one ever gave them shit McDonald's and did-dick
Smoking weed with of envy, whenever they lit it
She smoked and they bit it, always trying to copy
But when they tried to use her vocab, sounded sloppy
She had a style, all her own, respectful and
I was sick in the head for her, and there wasn't a

[Hook - Grae]
Don't you know that, time for no man
Not fate, all planned
I'm blessed to know you
I've loved and lost 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
tight 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 another nigga trying to get in it
So every now and then we'd stop and for a minute
I have a gimmick so the minutes turned to hours
On her birthday, I gave her a poem flowers
Then I took her out to dinner after her cousin's shower
We talked about, to the people and such
We spent more time together but it was enough
I never tried to sneak a touch, or even cop a
I was too interested, in it real
Perfectly and complete, she would always call me "carino,"
And never Technique, bought me a new book to every 2 or 3 weeks
Forever changing the expression of my thoughts I speak
It was because of her, I even all of my freaks
She convinced me, to stop hangin' out on the
To stop robbin' and stealin', from like you
Instead I her out to the Apollo 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 her my feelings was true
I couldn't live without her so I her, facing my fears
But honey's only response, was a face full of
She could only sob hysterically, me tight
I tried to speak, but she stop until I left sight
I like a moth who got himself too close to the light
I didn't burn, I turned cold after that night

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

She told me that there was a note for me, that was left
She had left it there waiting, for such a long
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 letter was and I thinking the worst
Reversed my position, over and opened the door
And enough 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, probably be dead
But you left in '97 a part of me went to Heaven
I God at least I got to know what love really was
But it me, to see what true love really does
'Cause though we never made love, you were all that there was
It was because I loved you so much that I had to you leave
You me doubt the way I thought, you made me want to believe
And I slipped up, and I let you get close to me
It was hard to not be openly when people to me
was not the way I thought my life was supposed to be
Baby don't you see, I had a blood transfusion left me with HIV
the end exists for me since late in 1993
I died a virgin, I wish I could've myself to you
I cried in the hospital because there was no one but you
Promise that you'll me in paradise inevitably
No matter what, I'll keep your love with me"

happened for the rest of the day is still a blur
But I wishing that I was dead, instead of her
She was buried on 3rd
The story ends a sequel
And now you know why Technique, don't fucking fall in love with
Hold the person you love closely if they're next to you
The one you love, not the person that'll have sex with you
Appreciate them to the extent, and then beyond
'Cause you really know what you got, until it's gone
