I didn't know there'd be troubles along the way
Nobody told me nothin', nobody told me nothin', nothin'
I went through eight different schools in twelve different years
That's thirty different teachers, over ten thousand different peers
And I done fought with everyone, been suspended every time
Besides a few, a felony, and committed every crime
But never braggin' on it, just want you to see me where I done been
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, sleepin' on couch to couch
Walk around stickin' out my hands, lookin' for a handout
Only thing I handed out was more bills
Only thing pulled me out was my will
God told me that some 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, we used to stay up day and nights livin' this way of life
I was young and restless, saw my children
Came, and then I had a guiding light
No more of this sittin', man, sittin' and waitin'
And thinkin' somebody comin' to take me up off them streets
But now I know
Nobody told me that the road would be easy
I don't believe 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 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 sayin'
I could sit here and count on one hand
How many people see me graduate, I know
A few that did, but a bunch that ain't
Same folks showin' up in swarms, waitin' for me to go on
Wanna see Nelly perform, where was his support before?
I became this household name, I was playin' them little league games
Nobody cared if I go in for three, nobody out here root for me
My mama supported me in everything, why she get everything?
Some people got the nerve to ask, "
Y'all kiss my ass?" And that's my mama
That sister in need my help, and it can't be solved with wealth
Give anything that I have just to see her in perfect health
Now we out here complainin', I got work to do
How bad you think you got it? Somebody else got it worse than you
I done had them down and ups, and don't plan on comin' back down
Don't plan on leavin' here no time
Soon, I done got too comfortable now
Wouldn't have no knowledge of wealth without no knowledge of self
And I'ma keep walkin' this road, my mind, body, and soul
I know, and I know, and I know
Nobody told me that the road would be easy
I don't believe 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 made it this far
My whole life, man, I've been workin' so hard
And I know
I didn't know there'd be troubles along the way
Nobody told me nothin', never helped me to ease my pain
I've been walkin' this road forever and a day
Now I'm in search of somethin' or someone to help me find my way
And now I know
Nobody told me that the road would be easy
I don't believe 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 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 don't believe 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 made it this far
My whole life, man, I've been workin' so hard
