[Intro]
Yeah…
That's real life…
You don’t know what I’ve been through…
[Chorus]
That’s real life, tears in my eyes
Smiling outside but I'm dying inside
Cold nights, praying to survive
I was just a kid tryna stay alive
That’s real life, scars in my soul
Broken past but I’m chasing my goals
If I fall, I still gotta rise
'Cause nobody hears a young boy cries
[Verse 1]
Mama and daddy went separate ways
I was too young, stuck in a maze
Didn’t understand all the pain
Just saw love slowly fade away
Auntie raised me, did what she could
But deep inside I misunderstood
Had to be strong, no time to cry
Learned from the streets how to survive
Kicked out the house, nowhere to sleep
Dark nights made my soul so weak
Hunger inside, no food to eat
Just me and my dreams in the cold concrete
[Chorus]
That’s real life, tears in my eyes
Smiling outside but I'm dying inside
Cold nights, praying to survive
I was just a kid tryna stay alive
That’s real life, scars in my soul
Broken past but I’m chasing my goals
If I fall, I still gotta rise
'Cause nobody hears a young boy cries
[Verse 2]
Sacrificed youth for a better day
Chasing a dream but I lost my way
Didn’t even know if it’s real
But I kept going, had to heal
People laugh but they don’t see
All of the pain inside of me
I gave my heart, I paid the price
Living this life, I roll the dice
Now I’m standing, stronger than pain
Dancing with scars, walking through rain
If I make it, I won’t forget
All of the nights filled with regret
[Outro]
That’s real life…
From the dark to the light…
I’m still fighting… yeah…
