Yeah Boy (yeah boy) Uh
I grew up in Norwalk
Hanging by the donut shop
Didn't have a car
So we used to have to walk the block
I was only six years old, I was running
Cold bare feet when the storm started coming
Momma worked two jobs
Couldn't keep the fridge stocked
Used to eat popcorn for dinner with the soda pop
Moved out one too many times, couldn't count it
Always keep it real, don't doubt it
Young girl you better grow fast
This world ain't gonna hold back
You know, you gotta own your life, uh
And I saw it in my dreams
I knew I'd be seventeen
Watching reality spinning around
And I saw it in my dreams
I knew life would change for me
This is reality
Look at me now
Had to let the house go
Didn't let me say no
Momma had to quit a job
Just so I could make the show
Thought there was a big break, still no breaking
Gave me 7 G's in the deal, didn't take it
Days in a motel, nights in the studio
Spending every penny praying God don't let us go, yo
Fashionnova goddess in the house (Hey)
L.A living
Got my own bed now, it's been a minute
Young girl you better grow fast
This world ain't gonna hold back
You know you gotta own your life
And I saw it in my dreams
I knew I'd be seventeen
Watching reality spinning around
And I saw it in my dreams
I knew life would change for me
This is reality
Look at me now
(Look at me now)
I used to dream
(Used to dream)
I used to dream about it
I knew that I would make it, out
Ain't what it seems
That's why I never doubt it
I know I'm gonna make it, out
And I saw it in my dreams
I knew I'd be seventeen
Watching reality spinning around
And I saw it in my dreams
I knew life would change for me
This is reality
Look at me now
I grew up in Norwalk
Hanging by the donut shop

Look at me now
