I Never Thought That We - Kero One

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
