mi neva know

(Verse 1)
Mi did young, mi did wild, mi neva overstand
Play wid yuh heart like a likkle likkle man
Yuh did real, yuh did loyal, mi did blind
Now mi deh yah, grown up, memories inna mi mind

Mi used to laugh, run street, chase hype
Neva did treat yuh like mi queen, neva right
Now mi si di truth inna late night tears
Mi lose yuh fi real, cya believe all these years

(Chorus)
Mi neva know what mi had til now
Mi heart fulla pain, mi a cry out loud
If mi coulda turn back time somehow
Mi woulda love yuh proper, mi woulda mek yuh proud
But mi did a likkle bwoy, mi neva ready fi love
Now mi grown, and it cut like a blade from above
Mi neva know, no, mi neva know
Til yuh gone, and mi cya bring yuh home

(Verse 2)
Mi memba di nights weh yuh pray fi mi soul
Yuh tell mi calm down, mi too cold, outta control
But mi neva listen, mi feel mi know it all
Now mi deh yah, mature, watch di memories fall

Yuh did want family, peace and roots
Mi did want party, gyal, and brand new boots
Mi neva value yuh until yuh gone
Now mi write song fi yuh name live on

(Bridge)
Mi know sorry cya bring yuh back
But mi heart still call yuh pon every track
If love a test, den mi fail dat test
But mi learn now, mi a try mi best

(Chorus)
Mi neva know what mi had til now
Mi heart fulla pain, mi a cry out loud
If mi coulda turn back time somehow
Mi woulda love yuh proper, mi woulda mek yuh proud
But mi did a likkle bwoy, mi neva ready fi love
Now mi grown, and it cut like a blade from above
Mi neva know, no, mi neva know
Til yuh gone, and mi cya bring yuh home

(Outro)
So if yuh hear mi voice inna di breeze or song
Just know seh mi love yuh all lifelong
Mi lose yuh once, mi lose mi peace
Mi hope yuh find joy, mi hope yuh find ease
