I didn't know there'd be troubles along he way Nobody told me nothin', nobody told me nothin', nothin' Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah I went through eight different schools and twelve different years That's thirty different teachers over ten thousand different peers And I done fought nearly everyone, been suspended every time Besides a few were felony and commited dirty crimes But never braggin' no, I just want you to see me where I have been I never proud of it so I don't have to go back there again And I used to go like house to house sleepin' on couch to couch Walk around sticking out my hands, looking for a hand out Only thing got handed out was more bills Only thing that pulled me out was my will God told me the sun don't chill Determined to make use of one of these skills Ain't for that our or go and beat the block Ain't no way you can heat the cops Ain't no way I could beat the clock Just a matter of time, shut down your shop You stay up day and nights, livin' this way of life I was young and restless all my children came and then I had a guidin' light No more of that sittin', man, sittin' and waitin' and thinkin' Somebody coming to take me up off the streets, but now I know Nobody told me that road would be easy, yeah I don't believe I made it this far My whole life, man, I've been working so hard And I know nobody told me that the road would be easy I can't believe I made it this far My whole life, man, I've been working so hard and I know I can tell you right now, I'm sayin' I could sit here and count on one hand How many people see me graduate I know a few that did but a bunch that ain't Some folks showin' up in swarms, waitin' for me to go on Wanna see Nelly perform, wasn't so poor before I became this household name, I was playin' on little league games Nobody cared If I go on for three, nobody out here rootin' for me But my Momma supported me in everything, "Why she get everything?" Some people got the nerve to ask, y'all kiss my ass, that's my Momma Got a sister that need my help and it can't be solved with wealth Give anythin' that I have just to see her in perfect health Now we out here complainin', I got work to do How bad you think you got it? Somebody else got it worse than you I don't have them down and ups and don't plan on comin' back down Don't plan on leavin' her no time soon but I got too comfortable now Wouldn't have no knowledge of wealth without no knowledge of self And I'ma keep walkin' this road, my mind body and soul And I know and I know and I know Nobody told me that road would be easy, yeah I don't believe I made it this far My whole life, man, I've been working so hard And I know nobody told me that the road would be easy I can't believe I made it this far My whole life, man, I've been working so hard and I know I didn't know there'd be troubles along the way Nobody told me nothin' That would help me to ease my pain And I've been walking this road for forever and a day Now I'm in search for somethin' or someone to help me find my way And now I know Nobody told me that the road would be easy I don't believe I made it this far My whole life, man I've been working so hard And I know nobody told me that the road would be easy I can't believe I made it this far My whole life, man, I've been working so hard And I know nobody told me that road would be easy, yeah I don't believe I made it this far My whole life, man, I've been working so hard And I know nobody told me that the road would be easy I can't believe I made it this far
