Never Know

[Intro]
The boy had dreams, yeah

[Chorus]
The boy had dreams, had to get it by any means
Didn't know how long my life would be, some death I seen
Never know when your time will be, life ain't guaranteed
I was only 8 when I lost my best friend

The boy had dreams, had to get it by any means
Didn't know how long my life would be, some death I seen
Never know when your time will be, life ain't guaranteed
I was only 8 when I lost my best friend

[Verse 1]
Her story was tragic, still ain't know everything that happened
Felt I was too young to be seeing her up in a casket
Prayed to God to use magic, put together them ashes
Something ain't feeling right, I'm melting like plastic
Some things I forget, but I remember lots of times
Things I seen keep replaying up in my mind
Tried to make the feelings go, think I forgot how to cry
Forgot who I was, didn't care if I wound up dead
Was mixing them drugs, but the demons were still in my head
Thought God didn't love me, didn't care what happened next
They told me I must be mentally ill, I'm depressed
Perky's and lean, couldn't feel my body
Liquor and weed, almost made me catch a body
Making sales in P's, yeah, rapping was just a hobby
Didn't do it for me, yeah, my idols I would copy

[Chorus]
The boy had dreams, had to get it by any means
Didn't know how long my life would be, some death I seen
Never know when your time will be, life ain't guaranteed
I was only 8 when I lost my best friend

The boy had dreams, had to get it by any means
Didn't know how long my life would be, some death I seen
Never know when your time will be, life ain't guaranteed
I was only 8 when I lost my best friend

[Verse 2]
Thinking 'bout my mama when I almost got shot
Was in love with the drama, wanna slide when I got robbed
Some things done changed: now I'm looking back to God
He healing my pain in ways the drugs could not, yeah
This life too short, but with God it's everlasting
Praying to the Lord when the devil start attacking
Like, get out my house, I already sent you packing
God love me in amounts that I couldn't imagine
He saved me from a cell
Better yet, he saved me from Hell
Not my best, but I'm doing well
Sometimes it be hard to tell
But my life a guarantee
God watching over me
And if I die tonight, I know where I'm going
I was off track, but Milly be back, can't waste no time
The demons attacked for a fact, I was fighting for my life
But I don't forget the times
And I don't forget the lies
But I wanna use 'em rhymes
Tell em what's true in life

[Chorus]
The boy had dreams, had to get it by any means
Didn't know how long my life would be, some death I seen
Never know when your time will be, life ain't guaranteed
I was only 8 when I lost my best friend

The boy had dreams, had to get it by any means
Didn't know how long my life would be, some death I seen
Never know when your time will be, life ain't guaranteed
I was only 8 when I lost my best friend
