Hit-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

Mama 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, no doubtin'

Young girl you better go fast

This world ain't gonna hold back

You know you gotta own your life, uh

And I saw in my dreams

I knew I'd be 17

Watchin' reality spinnin' 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

Mama had to quit her job

Just so I could make the show

Thought it was a big break, still no breakin'

Gave me seven g's and a deal, didn't take it

Days in the motel, nights in the studio

Spendin' every penny prayin' God don't let us go broke

Fashionnova got us in a house, LA living (ayy)

Got my own bed now, it's been a minute

Young girl you better go fast

This world ain't gonna hold back

You know you gotta own your life, uh

And I saw in my dreams

I knew I'd be 17

Watchin' reality spinnin' around (spinnin' 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 (what it seems)

That's why I never doubt it

I know I'm gonna make it out

And I saw in my dreams

I knew I'd be 17

Watchin' reality spinnin' around

And I saw it in my dreams

I knew life would change for me

This is reality

Look at me now
