Never Say Never

Lyrics

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
