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 storm started coming

Momma worked two jobs

Couldn't keep the fridge stocked

Used to eat popcorn for dinner with the sodapop

Moved out one too many times, couldn't count it

Always keep it real, don't doubt it

Young girl you better go fast

This world ain't gonna hold back

You know you gotta own your life

And I saw 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 it was a big break, still no breaking

Give me 7 G's in a deal, didn't take it

Days in a motel, nights in the studio

Spending every penny praying

God don't let us go broke

Fashion Nova got us in the house, hella living

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

And I saw 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

Ain't what it seems

That's why I never doubt it

I know i'm gonna make it

And i saw 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
