Never Say Never

Verse 1: Awon
I never thought I'd be a man following commandments
In a world that's underhanded
Just yesterday I was drunk on my bottom bunk
Wreaking of skunk the best of Biggie gettin pumped
My mom's screamin at my little brothas
Reem peed in the bed, hot in his drawers in the covers
The days I discovered a friend in my brother
I never thought God would take him from us
Just like my grandmother now she's an angel
I never thought life and death were so painful
I'm thankful for the knowledge of self
I never thought poverty would bring positive health
Cheers to good health, wine and fine women
I never thought I'd be a husband in fine linen
I never thought I'd see the time of the rhyme endin
It's my responsibility to start the beginnin

Hook: Awon
Never say never, just stay clever
Nowadays everybody sayin whatever
Stay clever and never say never
With possibilities life is so much better
(x2)

Verse 2: Awon
I never thought I'd be the father of two
The man of the house with a beer belly on the barbecue
Thank the Lord that I am alive
The truth is I never thought I'd see 25
Let alone a college degree
I never thought my kids would see a hero in me
I thought I'd see the penitentiary being a product of the block
Never thought we'd be voting for Barack
Not in my lifetime, I never thought I'd wouldn't wanna write rhymes
Peep the detail
I was born before cell phones and email
So Microsoft hit the market and spark it
The new millennium was never thought about
I never thought I'd see B-boys walk it out
I never thought I'd see pounds over a stack
Gentrification or the evolution of crack

Hook: Awon
Never say never, just stay clever
Nowadays everybody sayin whatever
Stay clever and never say never
With possibilities life is so much better
(x2)

Verse 3: Dicap
Shock the moment after my eyes seeing the rapture
Pause the Earth need to breath
It burped up the seas the waves were enormous
Trembling these tremors shaking down the forest
Like Five o drug raids deez in the Taurus
No daughters Kit game cause what was once your humble abode
Floating away now cold hoping for the day in this land with the risin sun
So much water as if the moon was out of order
The world's off kilter melt down nuclear filters
It's all caught on tape no cape where's a superhero
Who's to help us in this era of Ground Zero's?
Or a couple tsunami's, too many tyrants
As we see the terror Hi-def for your eyelids
Humming out hues and violence, so here's to a moment of silence
