Nelly Feat. Nobody Knows lyrics

I didn't know there'd be troubles along he way<br />
Nobody told me nothin', nobody told me nothin', nothin'<br />
<br />
Yeah, yeah, yeah<br />
Yeah, yeah, yeah<br />
Yeah, yeah, yeah<br />
<br />
I went through eight different schools and twelve different years<br />
That's thirty different teachers over ten thousand different peers<br />
And I done fought nearly everyone, been suspended every time<br />
Besides a few were felony and commited dirty crimes<br />
<br />
But never braggin' no, I just want you to see me where I have been<br />
I never proud of it so I don't have to go back there again<br />
And I used to go like house to house sleepin' on couch to couch<br />
Walk around sticking out my hands, looking for a hand out<br />
<br />
Only thing got handed out was more bills<br />
Only thing that pulled me out was my will<br />
God told me the sun don't chill<br />
Determined to make use of one of these skills<br />
<br />
Ain't for that our or go and beat the block<br />
Ain't no way you can heat the cops<br />
Ain't no way I could beat the clock<br />
Just a matter of time, shut down your shop<br />
<br />
You stay up day and nights, livin' this way of life<br />
I was young and restless all my children came and then I had a guidin' light<br />
No more of that sittin', man, sittin' and waitin' and thinkin'<br />
Somebody coming to take me up off the streets, but now I know<br />
<br />
Nobody told me that road would be easy, yeah<br />
I don't believe I made it this far<br />
My whole life, man, I've been working so hard<br />
<br />
And I know nobody told me that the road would be easy<br />
I can't believe I made it this far<br />
My whole life, man, I've been working so hard and I know<br />
<br />
<br />
I can tell you right now, I'm sayin' I could sit here and count on one hand<br />
How many people see me graduate<br />
I know a few that did but a bunch that ain't<br />
Some folks showin' up in swarms, waitin' for me to go on<br />
Wanna see Nelly perform, wasn't so poor before<br />
<br />
I became this household name, I was playin' on little league games<br />
Nobody cared If I go on for three, nobody out here rootin' for me<br />

But my Momma supported me in everything, "Why she get everything?"<br />
Some people got the nerve to ask, y'all kiss my ass, that's my Momma<br />
<br />
Got a sister that need my help and it can't be solved with wealth<br />
Give anythin' that I have just to see her in perfect health<br />
Now we out here complainin', I got work to do<br />
How bad you think you got it? Somebody else got it worse than you<br />
<br />
I don't have them down and ups and don't plan on comin' back down<br />
Don't plan on leavin' her no time soon but I got too comfortable now<br />
Wouldn't have no knowledge of wealth without no knowledge of self<br />
And I'ma keep walkin' this road, my mind body and soul<br />
And I know and I know and I know<br />
<br />
Nobody told me that road would be easy, yeah<br />
I don't believe I made it this far<br />
My whole life, man, I've been working so hard<br />
<br />
And I know nobody told me that the road would be easy<br />
I can't believe I made it this far<br />
My whole life, man, I've been working so hard and I know<br />
<br />
I didn't know there'd be troubles along the way<br />
Nobody told me nothin'<br />
That would help me to ease my pain<br />
<br />
<br />
And I've been walking this road for forever and a day<br />
Now I'm in search for somethin' or someone to help me find my way<br />
And now I know<br />
<br />
Nobody told me that the road would be easy<br />
I don't believe I made it this far<br />
My whole life, man I've been working so hard<br />
<br />
<br />
And I know nobody told me that the road would be easy<br />
I can't believe I made it this far<br />
My whole life, man, I've been working so hard<br />
<br />
And I know nobody told me that road would be easy, yeah<br />
I don't believe I made it this far<br />
My whole life, man, I've been working so hard<br />
<br />
And I know nobody told me that the road would be easy<br />
I can't believe I made it this far<br />
