I didn't know.(way)
There'd be troubles along the way.
Nobody told me nothing
Nobody told me nothing
Nothing. (Well)

I went through 8 different schools
And 12 different years
That's 30 teachers over 10 thousand different peers.
And not in fault in every one
That spend over time

The size of fewer fell in me
And committed drity crimes
And they were braggin' on me
I just want you to see me and what I've done
I'm never proud of it, so I don't have to go back there again
And go like house to house, and man
Sleeping on couch to couch, you know
Walk around stickin' out my hands, lookin' for a hand out
Only thing I 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 you use one of these skills
We gotta go to the heat the blocks
Ain't no way you can heat the cops
Ain't no way I can heat the clocks
Just a matter of time, shut down your shot
You stay up day and night
Livin' this way of life
I was young and restless, all my children came
And then I had a guiding light.
No more dat sittin' man,
Sittin' and waitin' and thinkin' somebody comin' to take me up
off the streets
But now I know.

Nobody told me that the road would be easy
Look at me I made it this far
My whole life, man I've been workin' so hard, and I know
Nobody told me that the road would be easy
I can't believe I've made it this far
My whole life, man I've been workin' so hard.
And I know,

I can tell you right now I'm stayin'
I be call one "Heyin'"
How many people see me graduate
I'm know a few that did but a bunch that ain't, hey
Seein' folks showin' up in swarms
Waitin' for me to go on
Want to see Nelly perform.
What was this before
I became this household name
I was playin' a million games
No one cared if I went 0 for 3
Nobody out here rooting for me, my mama
Supporting me in everythin'
Why she get everythin'
Some people got the nerve to ask, Why don't you kiss my ass
Man, that's my mama
Got a sister that need my help
In a game we'd sell our wealth
Give anything I have just to see her improvin' health
Now we out here complainin' we got work to do
How bad you think you got it somebody else got it worse than
you
Thought I had those ups things
Don't plannin' on comin' back down
Don't plan on leavin' her no times 4
Why I got too comfortable right now
Without no knowledge no wealth
Without no knowledge yourself
I gonna keep walkin' this road, my mind, body and soul.
And I know.

I didn't know that there'd be troubles along the way
Nobody told me nothing
They would help me to ease my pain
I've been walkin' this road forever and a day
Now I'm in search of something or somebody to help me find
my way
And now I know.

Nobody told me that the road would be easy
Look at me I made it this far
My whole life, man I've been workin' so hard, and I know
Nobody told me that the road would be easy
I can't believe I've made it this far
My whole life, man I've been workin' so hard.
And I know.

(Nobody told me. Yeah. That the road Oh)

And I know.
