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 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

I 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 hair

I wanna make it
Before my chances 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
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 chances 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
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
