Luyện nghe bài hát If I

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

If momma hadn't died 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 dark times, didn't know the path went
I was close to the edge like Grand Flash said
It was hands of my that held me back
Yes, without them I'd MJ keep backwards

Or be a hypocrite like some have been
If that and the other happened
Don't that I'd ever been Brer Rabbit
how many if's between hero 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 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 grown up in the 80's
Experiencing the things that made me
Would I still be standing center
Trying to innovate new ways to

If mommy-daddy hadn't turned off and Mindy
To inform us divorce was
Would him and me have spent these 23 in a frenzy
back and forth with such forceful energy?

I remember when I was a baby
Lying there alone on my casing
Upset I could feel the aging
The urge to was debilitating

And maybe I'm still afraid and to
Cry a little harder for the world of play
Stop back on these silly day dreams
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 makes me

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 of the possible injury
If I had known the was meant for me

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

If I had known would still remain
If I had known that time wouldn't heal the
If I had the intent of the injury
If I had known the wasn't meant for me

Now I know treasure hidden in these scars
Now I know presence in an empty yard
Now I know it took for me to survive
But now I know where to go to become

If I, if I, if I had only
I would 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,
