Nobody Knows Lyrics - Anthony Hamilton

[Anthony Hamilton] 

I didn't know, there'd be troubles along the way 

Nobody told me nothin, nobody told me nothing, nothing 

Well, well, oh, oh, oh, oh oh 

Well, hey hey, we-ell 

[Nelly] 

I went through, 8 different schools in, 12 different years 

That's 30 different teachers, over ten thousand different peers 

And I done fought in everyone, been suspended every time 

Besides a few a felony, done committed every crime 

But never bragging on, just want you to see me what I done done 

I'm never proud of it, so I don't have to go back there again 

And, I used to go like house to house (man) 

Sleeping on couch to couch (you know) 

Walk around sticking out my hands, looking for a handout 

Only thing I handed out was more bills 

Only thing pulled me out was my will 

God told me the sun don't chill 

Determined to make use of one of these skills 

Either that or go beat the block 

Ain't no way you can beat the cops 

Ain't no way I can beat the clock 

Just a matter of time shut down your shop 

Oh, you stay up day and nights, living this way of life 

I was Young and Restless 

All My Children came and then I had a Guiding Light (hey) 

No more of that sitting man (c'mon) sitting and waiting 

And thinking somebody coming to take me up off them streets 

But now I know 

[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton] 

Nobody told me that the road would be easy, yeah 

I don't believe, I've 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 (Whoa, that the road) 

I can't believe, I've made it this far (Whoo, yeah) 

My whole life, man I've been working so hard and I know 

[Nelly] 

I can tell you right now, I'm sayin 

I could sit here and count on one hand 

How many people seen me graduate 

I know a few that did but a bunch that ain't (hey) 

Same folks showing up in swarms, waiting for me to go on 

Wanting to see Ali perform, wasn't so po' before 

I became this household name 

I was playing them Little League games 

Nobody cured if I go 0-for-3 

Nobody out here rooting for me but my Momma 

Supported me in everything, "Why she get everything?" 

Some people got the nerve to ask 

Y'all can kiss my ass, and that's my Momma 

Got a sister that need my help (hey) and I gave peace all with wealth 

Give anything that I have, just to see her in perfect health 

Now we out here complaining, "I got work to do" (oh) 

How bad you think you got it, somebody else got it worse than you (hey) 

I done had them down and ups and, don't plan on coming back down (no) 

Don't plan on leaving here 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 walking this road, my mind, body and soul 

(I know) 

[Chorus] 

[Anthony Hamilton] 

I didn't know 

There'd be troubles along the way (I didn't know there'd be troubles) 

Nobody told me nothing (nobody told me nothing) 

That would help me to ease my pain (to help ease my pain, yeah) 

I've been walking this road, for forever and a day (forever and a day) 

Now I've been searching something (whoa-oh) 

For someone to help me find my way (somebody help me, find my way) 

And now I know 

[Chorus]
