[00:44.00]I never knew that I'd be here with you[00:46.21]For as long as I have[00:47.38]Standing strong on the path[00:48.70]Where potential and hard work lead to success[00:51.20]So the longer I last[00:52.50]Mean the more that I'm blessed[00:53.89]But through all the test[00:55.10]I was haunted by doubt[00:56.38]Sometimes it's like the grim reaper is calling me out[00:58.90]So you may not fully grasp how truly weird this is[01:01.74]When my troubled past had so many near misses[01:04.16]I knew that I could talk but I never knew you listened[01:06.77]Or that even in the darkest of nights you could glisten[01:09.34]I never realized[01:10.47]That I touched real lives[01:11.88]Nodding to a universal beat and feel vibes[01:14.37]That give life meaning and unite like minds[01:16.99]Had no idea that your struggle's like mine[01:19.59][01:22.11]Never knew all I could do with tight rhymes[01:24.27]I can't believe this[01:25.40]I never knew that I'd see this[01:27.32]Or that I had the strength to achieve this[01:29.14]But on the other hand[01:30.35]I never knew I'd pick up the pieces[01:32.34]When they didn't live to see this[01:34.38]I really miss my fan[01:35.53]I never knew I carry the weight[01:37.21]From my birth to my burial date[01:39.27]And though I never knew[01:41.90]I'm getting through Keep on[01:44.44][01:45.10]I never knew when I was at the crib bumping my favorites[01:47.78]That one day I'd be including in somebody's playlist[01:50.25]Only right I take this opportunity to show love[01:52.88]To you people listening in places I don't know of[01:55.42]But see I didn't grow up in the best of situations[01:57.85]For thinking out the box you sort of get a reputation[02:00.34]Of living in a dream world with loft expectations[02:02.87]But I refuse to live by another's limitations[02:05.58]I never knew for sure[02:06.69]I'd make it in the door[02:07.83]But where I'm at now leaves room for plenty more[02:10.57]Moves to be made one day at a time[02:13.07]And paths to be paved way after I've rhymed[02:15.65]For the very last time[02:16.84]And retired my mic[02:18.11]And truly focus on my fan who require insight[02:20.59]And guidance with undying alliance[02:23.15]But I never knew I'd be in the position that I'm in[02:25.70]I can't believe this[02:26.66]I never knew that I'd see this[02:28.47]Or that I had the strength to achieve this[02:30.36]But on the other hand[02:31.60]I never knew I'd pick up the pieces[02:33.64]When they didn't live to see this[02:35.52]I really miss my fan[02:36.77]I never knew I carry the weight[02:38.52]From my birth to my burial date[02:40.60]And though I never knew[02:43.17]I'm getting through Keep on[02:45.73][03:26.47]I can't believe this[03:27.92]I never knew that I'd see this[03:29.73]Or that I had the strength to achieve this[03:31.74]But on the other hand[03:32.93]I never knew I'd pick up the pieces[03:34.98]When they didn't live to see this[03:36.84]I really miss my fan[03:38.13]I never knew I carry the weight[03:39.79]From my birth to my burial date[03:41.79]And though I never knew[03:44.41]I'm getting through Keep on[03:47.00]I can't believe this[03:48.32]I never knew that I'd see this[03:50.12]Or that I had the strength to achieve this[03:52.11]But on the other hand[03:53.30]I never knew I'd pick up the pieces[03:55.28]When they didn't live to see this[03:57.22]I really miss my fan[03:58.47]I never knew I carry the weight[04:00.27]From my birth to my burial date[04:02.24]And though I never knew[04:04.83]I'm getting through Keep on[04:07.74]So much I gotta do[04:09.06]It don't mean much to you[04:10.31]Back then I didn't know how[04:12.63]It's so much I never knew[04:14.21]So much I gotta do[04:15.71]Knowing what I know now[04:17.98]So much I gotta do[04:19.29]It don't mean much to you[04:20.54]Back then I didn't know how[04:22.76]It's so much I never knew[04:24.39]So much I gotta do[04:25.94]Knowing what I know now[04:27.87]
