Lyrics Born - Real People lyrics

[Chorus] Real people Real people do real things Yes we do And real people Real people live real lives That's the truth [Verse 1] I was born far away, it was me, Moms, and Dad And we boarded a plane and came August 10 They divorced right away, but hey, it's for the best They were arguing constantly, breaking sh** But fortunately for me, they stayed friends Not really besties, but they made amends And it taught me that enemies could break bread As long as there's common thread between them It was hard on the day when first grade began Kids called me some names, I won't repeat them But the bond that we shared at home gave me strength We promised ourselves we'd make it, amen [Chorus] [Break] Clap your hands Stomp your feet Clap your hands Stomp your feet C'mon, clap your hands Stomp your feet Clap your hands Stomp your feet [Chorus] I fondly remember childhood events I was rocking suspenders socks, kind of damp Cause Moms had a dilemma, problem on her hands She was all out of quarters at the laundromat Ha, now that I'm grown, see I recognize Just how people close to me sacrificed In callous ways, I now realize The amount they believed in me throughout life And we all have a path to blaze in our lives We all need to plan some days improvized Overall, though, we want the same things in life A job, paycheck, a place to reside Fast forward to now, I'm the same as I've been Confidence bounced, some mistakes and some wins I'm a father myself, I'm great raising kids We promised ourselves we'd make it, Amen [Chorus]
