Luyện nghe bài hát You Never Know - Jean Grae

1]
She was on her way to becoming a college
even stop to talk to the average kid
The type of latina I'd sit and marriage with
the horse and carriage shit, her love was never for hire
Disciplined, intellectual what I desire
than Salma Hayek or Jennifer Lopez
Everyone told me, kickin' it to her was
At first I just thought, she didn't with 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 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 deny to everyone they did it
'Cause regreted the long list of niggaz that they let hit it
And no one gave them shit except McDonald's and did-dick
Smoking weed with thoughts of envy, they lit it
She smoked intelligently and they bit it, trying to copy
But when they to use her vocab, they sounded sloppy
She had a style, all her own, and pure
I was in the head for her, and there wasn't a cure

[Hook - Jean
Don't you know that, waits for no man
Not fate, all planned
I'm just to know you
I've and I've 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
Hold tight to your love, you never know

Her are brown and beautiful, yet empty and sad
I used to talk to her occasionally, and she was
That I wasn't just 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 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 but it was never enough
I never tried to sneak a touch, or 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 when I
It was because of her, I deaded all of my freaks
She convinced me, to stop out on the streets
To stop robbin' and stealin', from people you
Instead I took her out to the and the Bronxu
We sailed in (?) and the Metropolitan too
Got to the point when I was either her or my crew
So I one day, to tell her my feelings was true
I couldn't live without her so I told her, my fears
But honey's only response, was a face full of
She could sob hysterically, holding me tight
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 didn't burn, I turned cold that night

I went on with my life, and my career
Ended up locked up like an animal for a
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 when I she disappeared
Just an cell until the state gave me parole in the summer
came back, in and on track
But the fact of the matter, is I felt cold
Even after my mother, hugged me, cryin' at
My niggaz would catch me thinkin', out of my zone
Fuckin' lots of different women, but I 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 gone physically, it was still there
I had to do something, the shit was too much to bear
So I went and visited the building where she to live
The looks a lot different after you do a bid
The way your done changed
While primitive minds (are) still in the same game
her cousin who was on the corner slangin' cocaine
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 note for me, was left behind
She had it there waiting, for such a long time
I was inclined to ask it but she brought it up first
I saw a tear swelling up in her eye, and then she
She told me where the letter was and I thinking the worst
my position, stepped over and opened the door
And sure enough there was an envelope my name on the floor
"Nobody loves you more me carino" is what the letter said

"By the you get to read this, I'll probably be dead
But when you in '97 a part 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 love really
even though we never made love, you were all that there was
It was because I loved you so that I had to make 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 people spoke to me
This was not the way I thought my life was to be
Baby don't you see, I had a blood transfusion left me with HIV
Hoped the end exists for me since in 1993
I died a virgin, I I could've given myself to you
I in the hospital because there was no one else but you
Promise that meet me in paradise inevitably
No matter what, I'll your love forever with me"

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