Luyện nghe bài hát If I

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

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

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

Or be a hypocrite like some others have
If that and the other happened
Don't know that I'd been Brer Rabbit
how many if's between hero 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 known
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 hadn't grown up in the
Experiencing the various things that me
Would I still be center stage
Trying to new ways to demonstrate?

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

I remember I was a little baby
Lying there alone on my casing
Upset already I could feel the
The to return was debilitating

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

If I had what awaited was unplanned
If I had known the was in a loved one's hand
If I had known of the injury
If I had known the was meant for me

But now I nobody can predict events
And now I know cracks in the picket fence
Now I know something else exists
And now I a life can be built from this

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

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

If I, if I, if I had only
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,
