Luyện nghe bài hát If I

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

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

In the dark times, didn't where the path went
I was close to the edge like Grand Master said
It was of my friends that held me back
Yes, without I'd MJ keep slidin' backwards

Or be a hypocrite like some others have
If and the other hadn't happened
Don't know that I'd 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 to the slaughter
Now I
If I, if I, if I had only
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
I still be standing center stage
Trying to innovate new to demonstrate?

If mommy-daddy hadn't off Mork and Mindy
To inform us was pending
Would him and me spent these 23 years in a frenzy
Moving back and forth with such energy?

I remember when I was a little
Lying there on my pillow casing
Upset already I could feel the
The urge to return was

And I'm still afraid and need to
Cry a little harder for the of play things
Stop looking on these silly day dreams
along with me if you feel the same way

If I, if I, if I had known
That I be a lamb to the slaughter
Now I
If I, if I, if I had only
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,

If I had known what awaited was
If I had known the blade was in a one's hand
If I had known of the possible
If I had the altar was meant for me

But now I know can predict events
And now I know cracks in the picket fence
Now I know that something else
And now I know a life can be from this

If I had known emotions would still
If I had known that time wouldn't heal the
If I had known the intent of the
If I had known the altar meant for me

Now I there's 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 alive

If I, if I, if I had known
That I 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,
