I remember me sittin´ on my daddy´s knee Dreamin´´about 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 had School was alright Gave me time to fantasize But one day I woke up And I realized I´m livin´in the real world Everything´s written in black and white Livin´in the real world Where you don´t get nothin´unless you fight Someday 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 I´ve got to make it Before my changes are gone They say be patient But it takes too long I´m livin´in the real world Everything´s written in black and white Livin´in the real world Where you don´t get nothin´unless you fight Real world Where there ain´t no holiday in sight Livin´in the real world Where you don´t get nothin´unless you fight
