Never Woulda Known (feat. Johnny Spanish)

I been gifted from the start to the finish
But as I've gotten older it's been harder to listen
Middle school is when I started resisting
My teachers' told my parents
Yeah, as smart as this kid is, his heart isn't in it

Now they got me arguing with them
'Cause mom and dad never thought I'd start a new mission
Had it all planned out like I be part of the system
Now I'm shaking things up like the Parkinsons' syndrome

I wasn't made for that nine-to-five, I am not the same as you
I can see a difference between everything you say and do
I can tell you need somebody 'round that's gonna state the truth
So basically I'm saying, you just talking while we making moves

And this is just the start of my life
I done came a long way from that Guitar Hero mic
And writing raps with Copeland, we recorded in the basement
Might've thought is was a phase, this is more than dedication

No, I never woulda known
I never woulda known
I be flipping switches got these bitches that be fiendin' for a player
Man, they beggin' for the bone
And my phone is always jumping
Man, they tryin' to get a hold of me but ain't nobody home
'Cause they picked a motherfucker man
They picked a motherfucker like it's eeny miny moe
Goddamn, goddamn
No, I never woulda known

I been peeping what these people been saying
They being outrageous
I see they need a reason to hate it
Can't even debate it
They come in and they leave in amazement
'Cause bitch I'm me
And my homies put your team in the pavement

She say, "You different", yeah, I know it
It don't need no explaining
I got music inside my mind
I know they eagerly waiting for me to create it
It's guaranteed to be on they playlist
I tell my teachers' 'bout my dreams
And they gon' think that I'm playing, but nah

I'm really going for this shit
My parents talking college
I ain't going to that shit
I got people that's around me
And they know I'm 'bout to win
Don't expect me to respect you
We don't know about you kid

We don't know about you
You fiendin' for attention
And searching for a chance or just a reason to get mentioned
And we got the whole neighborhood terrified
Before you ask me for a favor tell me where was mine

No, I never woulda known
I never woulda known
I be flipping switches got these bitches that be fiendin' for a player
Man, they beggin' for the bone
And my phone is always jumping
Man, they tryin' to get a hold of me but ain't nobody home
'Cause they picked a motherfucker man
They picked a motherfucker like it's eeny miny moe
Goddamn, goddamn
No, I never woulda known (know, know)

Goddamn, goddamn
No, I never woulda known (know, know)

No, I never woulda known
I never woulda known
I be flipping switches got these bitches that be fiendin' for a player
Man, they beggin' for the bone
And my phone is always jumping
Man, they tryin' to get a hold of me but ain't nobody home
'Cause they picked a motherfucker man
They picked a motherfucker like it's eeny miny moe
Goddamn, goddamn
No, I never woulda known
