I never thought that we would ever get this way
I never thought that we would ever see this day
Of the billion people that could've took your place
You found your way, somehow someway
I still remember the first time I heard it, at least in a sense
Not one particular occasion but a series of events
That somehow, in the long run, guided my way
Since the very first time,???
And then I knew I'd never leave it,
Keep it beneath the surface
Hidden in my decisions, I'm certain I found my purpose
So I became a soul searching individual
My main focus in life was really quite spiritual
But it was music that opened up my eyes
A sound so profound like a voice in the sky
Speaking in ways, amazed at this message inside
Over time I realized that those voices were mine
And there was something alive,
But couldn't quite get it right
Something in the vibe of my soul I just didn't like
I spit it tight at times at other times my rhymes felt wrong
Until I found you my one perfect song
Beat and words and melodies combined
Inside the thought of you makes a perfect rhyme
Feel the love in mine.
I never thought that we would ever get this way
I never thought that we would ever see this day
Of the billion people that could've took your place
You found your way, somehow someway
And I remember, when they use to ask me
What you want to be when you grow out of your acme?
Lawyer, doctor or maybe an athlete?
PhD? Masters? live forever happily? Well.
"I never thought that we would ever get this way"
From b.s.'n professions on resumes
To using textbooks as pillows to rest my brain
Plus, entertained me when class was lengthy
Plenty you brought me when kids did mock me
Saying, "Kero's a nerd, straight introvert"
Now irony's eying me all over the earth
Reciting my words from third worlds to suburbs
Country sides where the vibe's preferred
To big city living where the pace is absurd
Traveling places, I never ever thought I'd see
Who would have thought you'd be
A part of my life the two of us you and me
I never thought that we would ever get this way
I never thought that we would ever see this day
Of the billion people that could've took your place
You found your way, somehow someway
Sometimes I wonder about our future and all
We find ourselves fighting, when monies involved
I wish it were care free like when we were small
Enjoying your company comfortably without faults
But those bills keep punching me, constantly
Knocking my wind, caught in a pinch, haunting me
So I had to prostitute you
You stood strong, Game face on I salute you
But look what happened, clients refused to
Pay for your play and this way they got use to
But it was good promoting your ass though
They saw you had curves while it hurt our cash flow
A starving artist with your heart in my lasso
Free ninety nine or a dime we'll last yo
You stuck around even when I was asshole
I gave you my all, 'cause you were so special
Massage you melodies without getting sexual
No need to cuss at ya, I keep it professional
Check my decibels, no need to yell
Spit it smooth, it ain't hard to tell.
I never thought that we would ever get this way
I never thought that we would ever see this day
Of the billion people that could've took your place
You found your way, somehow someway
