Lyrics If You Knew - Paul Hardcastle

If you knew what I knew,
If you knew.
And all I came through In my life.
My life has been so hard, oh so hard, til I got to know God.
It was years ago, vividly I remember a kid,
Didn't know what to do, so I did what I did.
Like any other kid in the hood.
Struggled for years but my peers probably thought it good.
But We didn't have it easy like a bunch of
Those did. My family was all dysfunctional kid.
My father went to jail, my mother lost her dome.
Me and my little brother moving in and out of foster homes.
Roaches, rats, raised with 'em son. L
Ike you do your dogs and cats, we played with 'em son.
Life was hard, who said it was easy?
Steady sinkin wishful thinkin I can get my palms greasy, for shade.
How was you living bac in '74? W
Ere you filthy rich? Well I was filthy and poor.
Had a empty dresser drawer for a baby bassinet.
Me Anthony Tony plus my little sister Antoinette.
Plus four more. But they would come later.
The struggle for them was much greater. Believe it.
Misha Jamie Harvey Sam.
Cause we all got separated don't mean that we still ain't fam.
