Lyrics
THE REAL WORLD
(music and lyrics by Rebekah Pulley)
Mama wasn't like the ones I'd see on TV
Daddy couldn't give me all the things I's see
Brother didn't look out for and watch over me
Sister never saw all the things that she could be
Here in the real world
Here in the real world
I grew from a baby
Into a little girl
Here in the real world
Here in the real world
High school was a diploma called a GED
College was the real world university
A PhD in the food service industry
Earning minimum wage for a my masters degree
Here in the real world
Here in the real world
I grew into a woman
And lost that little girl
Here in the real world
Here in the real world
Employment didn't pay the bills
Boyfriends kind of lost their thrill
Baby came, it all stayed until
Music gave me back a little bit of my free will
Here in the real world
