Testo Until - Raheem DeVaughn
Testo della canzone Until (Raheem DeVaughn), tratta dall'album The Love Experience
Now to understand the struggle
To understand paying dues
And the pain of my people
Your people, all around the globe
You gotta feel me
It's in the music, use it
What you know about juggling jobs
And struggling hard and chasing dreams?
What you know about having no car
Rent being due and no bling bling?
What you know about sacrificing
All your wants for all your needs?
What you know about loving your child
Just to find out that ain't your seed?
(That's my pain)
Until you know my joy, know my pain
And know my struggles
Until you walk these shoes
Paid my dues and felt my troubles
Until you shed my tears, know my fears
And done my years
Only 'til then
You only know what you think you know
What you know about hitting that block
And dodging them cops to make ends meet?
What you know about the lights being off
The gas being off and no food to eat?
What you know about Goodwill clothes
While your friends dress fly in junior high?
What you know about grandma's words
When she said, "One day boy you gon' shine"?
(No, yeah yeah yeah)
Until you know my joy, know my pain
And know my struggles
Until you walk these shoes
Paid my dues and felt my troubles
Until you shed my tears, know my fears
And done my years
Only 'til then
You only know what you think you know
Until you know my joy, know my pain
And know my struggles
Until you walk these shoes
Paid my dues and felt my troubles
Until you shed my tears, know my fears
And done my years
Only 'til then
You only know what you think you know
What you know about writing late night
The candlelight 'til the shit is tight?
(What you know?)
What you know about late night prayers
And late night tears, hoping God?
(Oh, tell me what you know)
What you know about earning your keep
Because you don't bend, break or ask?
(What you know?)
And don't you know the last shall be first
Hey, and the first shall be last?
Until then you know you don't know nothing
Until you know my joy, know my pain
And know my struggles
Until you walk these shoes
Paid my dues and felt my troubles
Until you shed my tears, know my fears
And done my years
Only 'til then
You only know what you think you know
Until you know my joy, know my pain
And know my struggles
Until you walk these shoes
Paid my dues and felt my troubles
Until you shed my tears, know my fears
And done my years
Only 'til then
You only know what you think you know
And those that know my struggle
Those that know my pain
Put one finger in the air
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Until then, I said until then, yeah
Oh, yeah
Until you walk in my shoes
Pay my dues, know my struggles
Know my troubles, hey, hey, hey
Whoa, oh, oh
Until you, until you, until you, until you
Until you, until you, until you, until you
Until you know my joy, know my pain
And know my struggles
Until you walk these shoes
Paid my dues and felt my troubles
Until you shed my tears, know my fears
And done my years
Only 'til then
You only know what you think you know
Until you know
Until you know
