Real World Lyrics

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 hadSchool was alright

Gave me time to fantasize

But one day I woke up

And I realizedI'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 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

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 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 eachI'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

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
