Luyện nghe bài hát If I

If I hadn't been a introspective kid
If I hadn't been a nerd, have met with him
If we hadn't observed we'd be the of friends
That the spoken word to the toke and binge

If hadn't died when I was young
Would me and sis been so from jump?
If dad lost his mind to a disease
I be up here askin' ya'll to notice me?

In the dark times, didn't know where the went
I was close to the edge like Grand Master Flash
It was hands of my friends that held me
Yes, without them I'd MJ slidin' backwards

Or be a hypocrite like some others been
If that and the other happened
Don't that I'd ever been Brer Rabbit
Askin' how many if's between and has-been?

If I, if I, if I had only
That I would be a lamb to the
Now I
If I, if I, if I had known
I know, I bet it makes me stronger

Now I know, now I
Now I know, know,
Now I know, now I
Now I know, know,

If I hadn't up in the 80's
Experiencing the various that made me
Would I still be standing stage
to innovate new ways to demonstrate?

If mommy-daddy turned off Mork and Mindy
To inform us divorce was
him and me have spent these 23 years in a frenzy
Moving back and forth with forceful energy?

I remember when I was a baby
Lying there alone on my casing
Upset I could feel the aging
The urge to return was

And maybe I'm still afraid and to
Cry a little for the world of play things
Stop looking back on these silly day
Sing with me if you feel the same way

If I, if I, if I had only
I would be a lamb to the slaughter
Now I
If I, if I, if I had known
I know, I bet it makes me stronger

Now I know, now I
Now I know, know,
Now I know, now I
Now I know, know,

If I had known awaited was unplanned
If I had known the blade was in a loved hand
If I had of the possible injury
If I had the altar was meant for me

But now I nobody can predict events
And now I know there's in the picket fence
Now I know that something exists
And now I know a life can be built from

If I had known would still remain
If I had known that wouldn't heal the pain
If I had the intent of the injury
If I had known the altar meant for me

Now I know treasure hidden in these scars
Now I know presence in an empty yard
Now I know what it took for me to
But now I know where to go to become

If I, if I, if I had known
I would be a lamb to the slaughter
Now I
If I, if I, if I had known
I know, I bet it only me stronger

Now I know, now I
Now I know, know,
Now I know, now I
Now I know, know,
