Lyrics
0:00IIIIIIIII didn't know' there'd be troubles along the way
0:06Nobody told me nothin' nobody told me nothin' nothin
0:10Well' well' ohh' ohhhh' ohhhhhh' oahh-ohhhh
0:23Well' ay-heyyy' ay-hey' we-ell
0:31Uh-huh' uh-huh-huh' uh-huh-huh' uh-huh-huh
0:36I went through' 8 different schools in' 12 different years
0:40That's 30 different teachers' over ten thousand different peers
0:43And I done fought in e'ryone' been suspended e'rytime
0:46Besides a few a felony' done committed e'ry crime
0:49But never braggin on' just want you to see me what I done done
0:53I'm never proud of it' so I don't have to go back there again
0:56And uhh' I used to go like house to house
0:59Sleepin on couch to couch
1:00Walk around stickin out my hands' lookin for a handout
1:03Only thing I handed out was more bills
1:05Only thing pulled me out was my will
1:07God told me the sun don't chill
1:08Determined to make use of one of these skills
1:10Either that or go beat the block
1:11Ain't no way you can beat the cops
1:13Ain't no way I can beat the clock
1:15Just a matter of time shut down your shop
1:16Ohh' you stay up day and nights' livin this way of life
1:20I was +Young and Restless+
1:21+All My Children+ came and then I had a +Guiding Light
1:23No more of that sittin mayne sittin and waitin
1:26And thinkin somebody comin to take me up off them streets
1:29But now I know
1:30Nobody told me that the road would be easy' yeah
1:37I don't believe' I've made it this far
1:40My whole life' man I've been workin so hard and I know
1:44Nobody told me that the road would be easy
1:49I can't believe' I've made it this far
1:53My whole life' man I've been workin so hard and I know
1:57I can tell you right now' I'm sayin
1:59I could sit here and count on one hand
2:01How many people seen me graduate
2:02I know a few that did but a bunch that ain't
2:03Same folks showin up in swarms' waitin for me to go on
2:06Wantin to see Ali perform' wasn't so po' before
2:10I became this household name
2:12I was playin them Little League games
2:13Nobody curred if I go 0-for-3
2:14Nobody out hurr rootin for me but my Momma
2:16Supported me in e'rything' "Why she get e'rything "
2:20Some people got the nerve to ask
2:22Y'all can kiss my a**' and that's my Momma
2:24Got a sister that need my help and I gave peace all with wealth
2:27Give anything that I have' just to see her in perfect health
2:30Now we out hurr complainin' I got work to do
2:33How bad you think you got it' somebody else got it worse than you
2:37I done had them down and ups and' don't plan on comin back down
2:40Don't plan on leavin hurr no time soon' but I got too comfortable now
2:43Wouldn't have no knowledge of wealth' without no knowledge of self
2:47And I'ma keep walkin this road my mind' body and soul
2:51Nobody told me that the road would be easy' yeah
2:57I don't believe' I've made it this far
3:00My whole life' man I've been workin so hard and I know
3:04Nobody told me that the road would be easy
3:09I can't believe' I've made it this far
3:13My whole life' man I've been workin so hard and I know
3:17There'd be troubles along the way
3:22Nobody told me nothin
3:26That would help me to ease my pain
3:29I've been walkin this roooooad' for forever and a day
3:35Now I've been searchin somethin
3:39For someone to help me find my way
3:42And now I know
3:44Nobody told me that the road would be easy' yeah
3:50I don't believe' I've made it this far
3:53My whole life' man I've been workin so hard and I know
