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
preferred the spoken word to the toke and binge

If momma hadn't died when I was
Would me and sis been so from jump?
If dad hadn't lost his mind to a
Would I be up 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 Flash
It was hands of my friends held me back
Yes, without I'd MJ keep slidin' backwards

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

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 makes me stronger

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

If I grown 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 us divorce was pending
Would him and me have these 23 years in a frenzy
back and forth with such forceful energy?

I remember I was a little baby
Lying there alone on my pillow
Upset already I could the aging
The urge to return was

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

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 only
I know, I bet it only makes me

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

But now I know nobody can predict
And now I know there's cracks in the picket
Now I know that something else
And now I know a life can be from this

If I had known would still remain
If I had known that time heal the pain
If I had the intent of the injury
If I had known the altar meant for me

Now I know there's treasure in these scars
Now I know there's presence in an yard
Now I know what it for me to survive
But now I where to go to become alive

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,
