Luyện nghe bài hát If I

If I hadn't a quiet introspective kid
If I hadn't been a nerd, wouldn't met with him
If we hadn't observed we'd be the best of
preferred the spoken word to the toke and binge

If momma hadn't died when I was
Would me and sis been so tight from
If dad hadn't lost his to a disease
Would I be up here askin' to notice me?

In the dark times, didn't know where the went
I was close to the edge like Grand Master said
It was hands of my friends that me back
Yes, without them I'd MJ keep backwards

Or be a like some others have been
If and the other hadn't happened
Don't know I'd ever been Brer Rabbit
how many if's between hero and has-been?

If I, if I, if I had only
That I 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,

If I grown up in the 80's
the various things that made me
Would I still be standing stage
Trying to innovate new ways to

If hadn't turned off Mork and Mindy
To inform us was pending
Would him and me spent these 23 years in a frenzy
Moving back and with such forceful energy?

I remember I was a little baby
Lying there on my pillow casing
already I could feel the aging
The urge to return was

And maybe I'm still and need to
Cry a harder for the world of play things
Stop back on these silly day dreams
Sing along me if you feel the same way

If I, if I, if I had only
That I would be a 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 known what awaited was
If I had known the blade was in a loved hand
If I had of the possible injury
If I had known the altar was 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 a life can be built from this

If I had known emotions would still
If I had known time wouldn't heal the pain
If I had known the intent of the
If I had known the altar meant for me

Now I know there's hidden in these scars
Now I know presence in an empty yard
Now I know what it took for me to
But now I know where to go to alive

If I, if I, if I had known
I would 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,
