Real World

I remember me sittin' on my daddy's knee
Dreamin' 'bout what life had in store for me
When I look back now it really makes me mad
The years I took for granted were the best I hadSchool was alright, gave me time to fantasize
But one day I woke up and I realizedI'm livin' in the real world
Where everything's written in black and white
Livin' in the real world
Where you don't get nothin' unless you fightI wanna relax but I don't know how
The pressures on me are much stronger now
I remember the days I didn't have a care
Aside from being afraid somebody'd cut my hairI wanna make it before my chances are gone
They say be patient but it takes too longI'm livin' in the real world
Where everything's written in black and white
Livin' in the real world
Where you don't get nothin' unless you fightReal world
Where there ain't no holiday in sight
Livin' in the real world
Where you don't get nothin' unless you fightSomeday soon I'll settle down for good
There was a time I thought I never would
I'm gonna live with a lady on a quiet beach
I'm gonna have three kids, maybe one of each, ooh yeaWell, I've got to make it before my chances are gone
They say, "Be patient" but it takes too longI'm livin' in the real world
Where everything's written in black and white
Livin' in the real world
Where you don't get nothin' unless you fightReal world
Already no holiday in sight
Livin' in the real world
Where you don't get nothin' unless you fight, ohh
