Luyện nghe bài hát You Never Know - Jean Grae

1]
She was on her way to becoming a graduate
Wouldn't stop to talk to the average kid
The type of latina I'd sit and contemplate marriage
Fuck the horse and carriage shit, her was never for hire
Disciplined, intellectual what 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 they kids
But the kids got no play
"I'm not even interested" is her body language would say
Everyone around the way, gave up to get in it
It matter how good your game was, she wasn't with it
On the block, bitches was jealous, but admit it
Talk shit, and deny to everyone they did it
'Cause regreted the long list of niggaz that they let hit it
And no one ever gave them shit except McDonald's and
Smoking weed thoughts of envy, whenever they lit it
She smoked and they bit it, always trying to copy
But when they tried to use her vocab, they sloppy
She had a style, all her own, respectful and
I was in the head for her, and there wasn't a cure

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

Her eyes are and beautiful, yet empty and sad
I used to to her occasionally, and she was glad
That I wasn't another nigga trying to get in it
So every now and then we'd stop and talk for a
I didn't have a gimmick so the turned to hours
On her birthday, I gave her a poem with
Then I took her out to dinner after her baby shower
We talked about, power to the people and
We spent more time together but it was never
I never to sneak a touch, or even cop a feel
I was too interested, in keeping it
Perfectly honest and complete, she would call me "carino,"
And never Technique, bought me a new book to read every 2 or 3
changing the expression of my thoughts when I speak
It was because of her, I even all of my freaks
She convinced me, to stop out on the streets
To stop robbin' and stealin', from people you
I took her out to the Apollo and the Bronxu
We sailed in (?) and the Metropolitan too
Got to the point when I was either with her or my
So I decided one day, to tell her my was true
I couldn't live her so I told her, facing my fears
But honey's response, was a face full of tears
She could sob hysterically, holding me tight
I to speak, but she wouldn't stop until I left sight
I felt like a moth who got too close to the light
Except I didn't burn, I turned cold after that

I on with my life, college and my career
Ended up locked up an animal for a year
Where the C.O.'s talk to you like were the overseer
Then I got sent to the hole, when my exit was
At in my cell, I'd close my eyes and I'd see her
Hold her close in my dreams, but when I she disappeared
Just an empty until the state gave me parole in the summer
came back, in and on track
But the of the matter, is I still felt cold
Even after my mother, me, cryin' at home
My real niggaz would me thinkin', out of my zone
Fuckin' lots of different women, but I still alone
Relatively well-known around the New York
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 shit was too much to
So I went and visited the building where she to live
The world a lot different after you do a bid
The way life done changed
While primitive minds (are) still stuck in the game
Like her cousin who was on the slangin' cocaine
in the lobby and tapped the button next to her last name
Her mom me up and hugged me up, like a mother oughta
But her facial expression changed, when I about her daughter

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

"By the time you get to this, I'll probably be dead
But you left in '97 a part of me went to Heaven
I thank God at least I got to know love really was
But it hurt me, to see what true love really
even though we never made love, you were all that there was
It was I loved you so much that I had to make you leave
You made me doubt the way I thought, you 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
This was not the way I thought my 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 given to you
I cried in the because there was no one else but you
Promise that you'll meet me in paradise
No matter what, I'll keep your love forever me"

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