[00:10.29]I grew up in Norwalk
[00:11.42]Hanging by the donut shop
[00:12.76]Didn't have a car
[00:13.84]So we used to have to walk the block
[00:15.43]I was only six years old I was running
[00:17.90]Cold barefeet when the storm started coming
[00:20.79]Mama worked two jobs
[00:22.13]Couldn't keep the fridge stocked
[00:23.45]Used to eat popcorn for dinner with the soda pop
[00:26.10]Moved out one too many times couldn't count it
[00:29.38]Always keep it real no doubtin'
[00:32.61]Young girl you better go fast
[00:35.25]This world ain't gonna hold back
[00:37.87]You know you gotta own your life
[00:41.93]And I saw in my dreams
[00:44.29]I knew I'd be seventeen
[00:46.96]Watching reality spinning around
[00:52.60]And I saw it in my dreams
[00:54.76]I knew life would change for me
[00:57.54]This is reality
[01:00.12]Look at me now
[01:03.52]Had to let the house go
[01:04.72]Didn't let me say no
[01:06.12]Mama had to quit her job
[01:07.54]Just so I could make the show
[01:08.66]Thought it was the big break still no breaking
[01:11.46]Gave me seven G's and a deal didn't take it
[01:13.96]Days in the motel nights in the studio
[01:16.80]Spending every penny praying
[01:18.16]God don't let us go broke
[01:19.40]Fashionova got us in a house LA living
[01:22.85]Got my own bed now it's been a minut
[01:25.90]Young girl you better go fast
[01:28.56]This world ain't gonna hold back
[01:31.21]You know you gotta own your life
[01:35.41]And I saw in my dreams
[01:37.61]I knew I'd be seventeen
[01:40.30]Watching reality spinning around
[01:44.76]Spinning around
[01:46.15]And I saw it in my dreams
[01:48.14]I knew life would change for me
[01:50.75]This is reality
[01:53.44]Look at me now
[01:55.30]Look at me now
[01:58.64]I used to dream
[02:00.07]Used to dream
[02:01.41]I used to dream about it
[02:03.99]I knew that I would make it out
[02:09.30]Ain't what it seems what it seems
[02:12.07]That's why I never doubt it
[02:14.62]I know I'm gonna make it out
[02:20.31]And I saw in my dreams
[02:22.94]I knew I'd be seventeen
[02:25.50]Watching reality spinning around
[02:30.74]And I saw it in my dreams
[02:33.36]I knew life would change for me
[02:36.11]This is reality
[02:38.75]Look at me now
