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 marriage
Fuck the horse and carriage shit, her love was for hire
Disciplined, intellectual beauty's I desire
Flyer than Salma Hayek or Jennifer
Everyone told me, kickin' it to her was
At first I just thought, she didn't mess broke kids
The niggaz always talking about, how they smoke kids
But the kids got no play
"I'm not even interested" is what her body language say
Everyone around the way, gave up to get in it
It didn't matter how good 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 regreted the long 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 intelligently and they bit it, always to copy
But when they tried to use her vocab, they sloppy
She had a style, all her own, and pure
I was sick in the head for her, and wasn't a cure

Don't you know that, time for no man
Not fate, it's all
I'm blessed just to you
I've loved and I've lost just to hold you all
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 love, 'cause you never know

Her eyes are brown and beautiful, yet and sad
I used to talk to her occasionally, and she was
That I just another nigga trying to get in it
So now and then we'd stop and talk for a minute
I didn't have a gimmick so the minutes to hours
On her birthday, I gave her a poem with
Then I took her out to dinner her cousin's baby shower
We talked about, power to the people and
We more time together but it was never enough
I tried 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 never Technique, bought me a new book to read 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 hangin' out on the streets
To robbin' and stealin', from people like you
Instead I her out to the Apollo and the Bronxu
We sailed in (?) and the Metropolitan too
Got to the point I was either with her or my crew
So I one day, to tell her my feelings was true
I couldn't without her so I told her, facing my fears
But honey's only response, was a face full of
She could only sob hysterically, holding me
I tried to speak, but she stop until I left sight
I felt a moth who got himself too close to the light
Except I burn, I turned cold after that night

I went on my life, college and my career
Ended up up like 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 night in my cell, I'd my eyes and I'd see her
Hold her in my dreams, but when I woke she disappeared
Just an empty cell the state gave me parole in the summer
came back, in tact and on
But the fact of the matter, is I still felt
Even my mother, hugged me, cryin' at home
My real niggaz would me thinkin', out of my zone
Fuckin' lots of different women, but I still felt
Relatively around the New York underground
But I kept thinking of her and how we to be down
The sound of her voice, and the beautiful 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 the building where she used to live
The world looks a lot different you do a bid
The way your life done
While primitive minds (are) still stuck in the game
Like her cousin who was on the slangin' cocaine
Stepped in the lobby and tapped the next to her last name
Her mom buzzed me up and hugged me up, like a mother
But her facial expression changed, I asked about her daughter

She told me that was a note for me, that was left behind
She had left it there waiting, for such a long
I was inclined to ask about it but she it up first
I saw a tear swelling up in her eye, and she cursed
She told me where the was and I started thinking the worst
Reversed my position, stepped over and opened the
And sure enough there was an with my name on the floor
"Nobody loves you more 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 thank God at least I got to know what love was
But it hurt me, to see true love really does
'Cause even though we never love, you were all that there was
It was because I loved you so much that I had to you leave
You made me 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 when people spoke to me
This was not the way I thought my life was to be
Baby don't you see, I had a transfusion that left me with HIV
Hoped the end exists for me late in 1993
I died a virgin, I wish I could've given to you
I cried in the hospital there was no one else but you
Promise that you'll me in paradise inevitably
No matter what, I'll keep your love forever me"

What for the rest of the day is still a blur
But I remember wishing I was dead, instead of her
She was on August 3rd
The story ends a sequel
And now you know why Technique, fucking fall in love with people
Hold the person that you closely if they're next to you
The one you love, not the person that'll have sex with you
them to the fullest extent, and then beyond
'Cause you never really know you got, until it's gone
