DJ Phonetic - If Only you Knew lyrics

If Only You Knew Whatever happened to them old school love songs You know, the ones where you let the people you love and appreciate Know that you love and appreciate them I kinda like them old school love songs Let's bring those back If you only knew I just want you to know I just want you to know If you only knew I just want you to know I just want you to know In the back of my mind I can remember the time And momma I still remember all them nights you was crying November 12th a black queen gave birth to a seed That was born to move mountains and to follow his dreams An empty promise plus a baby equals a broken heart And momma, I know you carry all them scars on your heart I know despite the odds you did the best you could I know that if you could change it all deep down you would You was so young Had a son Pressure probably weighed a ton Fathers … Depression left you feeling numb Plus welfare bought a ship we didn't want Seein' everybody else flaunt but you told us not to front You gotta know, oh girl, from the depths of your soul Your fire helps me navigate a world so cold If honesty be my only curse I know I probably made it worse but forgive me with this verse Nana since you pa**ed I feel empty inside The thought of life without you How am I supposed to survive For as long as I can remember you've been by my side Helpin' me be a man and on the day you died I cried Felt powerless But what could I do Every time I had a problem you got me through Taught me strength, taught me honor, taught me to be sincere Stood me up on my own feet and made me face my fears I used to write my little raps in the bathroom mirrors like Nana this is a song that I want you to hear Taught me never to be ashamed ‘cuz my pain is god's gift My birth a prayer answered for a young prophet You wanted to fix me porridge I wanted to pay your mortgage Wanted to buy you things but I just couldn't afford it Well nana look your baby boy here now with an angel on my shoulders ain't no fear now Some people search all their lives to find what I found And what I do I make you cry I struggle but listen baby girl I do understand Watching tears fall from your eyes don't make me a man I get dressed I'm out the door acting like I don't care Say leave if you wanna leave but I need you there Nightly Back and forth over my same old nonsense fighting But your tears are like a tunnel to my conscious I'm too greedy Too needy to love you Too focused on success Too obsessed with the hustle Too into runnin the streets cuz that's all I know Too afraid to say so cuz you just might go Please know That despite my sh** we building together As real as what's on my arm always and forever Despite what we might go through My heart belongs to you girl if you only knew
