lirik lagu born & raised – joy denalane

i was the first of three sisters
my older brothers would treat me like a princess
sporting flattops and hightop sneakers
my feet too small for my brand-new adidas
7 in the evening when my mama calls
were playing dodge ball up against the berlin wall
that’s how i was born and raised
now mama, look at where i am today
pre-chorus:
it’s alright
even though we had to struggle
sometimes
even if we stumbled
it’s all good
cause i learned how to stay on my feet
it’s alright
even though we had to struggle
sometimes
even if we stumbled
it’s all good
cause i learned how to do for me
chorus:
if my life’s like your life, then i want for you to know
there’s not a thing in the world you can’t achieve
if your life’s like my life, you got to keep on keeping on
cause there’s so much more you can be
16 when i first left home
already hard headed thinking i was grown
berlin girl, half african, half caucasian
imagine conflicts i’m facing
skipped school, went clubbin with them black gi’s
arguments on the phone would make my mama cry
i fell in love with this thug, daddy threw a fit
only took one year, that n-gg-‘s doing a bid
this is back when p.e. gave us ident-ty
a young girl in the streets of west germany
that’s how i was born and raised
now mama, look at where i am today
pre-chorus
chorus
hip hop soul was the brand new rage
became my real love with mary j.
i took my first steps on a spot lit stage
it was clear i was here to stay
see it wasn’t always easy on this path i chose
when it starts getting sleazy don’t know friend from foe
that’s when i learned to discern and stand up for me
and took control of my own destiny
chorus
