[Intro]
Hit-Boy
Uh
[Verse 1]
I grew up in NorDwalk
Hanging by the donut shop
Didn't have a C#m7car
So we used to have to walk the block
I was only sDix years old, I was running
Cold bare C#m7feet when the storm started coF#m7ming
Mama worked tDwo jobs
Couldn't keep the fridge stocked
Used to eat C#m7popcorn for dinner with the soda pop
Moved out Bm7one too many times, couldn't count it
F#m7Always keep it real, no doubtin'
[Pre-Chorus]
DYoung girl you better go fast
C#m7This world ain't gonna hold back
DYou know you gotta own your C#m7life, F#m7uh
[Chorus]
And I saw in my dDreams
I knew I'd be C#m717
Watchin' reBm7ality spinnin' aF#m7round
And I saw it in my dDreams
I knew life would cC#m7hange for me
This is reBm7ality
Look at me F#m7now
[Verse 2]
Had to let the Dhouse go
Didn't let me say no
Mama had to C#m7quit her job
Just so I could make the show
Thought it was a Dbig break, still no breakin'
Gave me seven F#m7G's and a deal, didn't take it
Days in the Dmotel, nights in the studio
Spendin' every C#m7penny prayin' God don't let us go broke
FashionNova Dgot us in a house, L.A living (Ayy)
C#m7Got my own bed now, F#m7it's been a minute
[Pre-Chorus]
DYoung girl you better go fast
C#m7This world ain't gonna hold back
DYou know you gotta own your C#m7life, F#m7uh
[Chorus]
And I saw in my dDreams
I knew I'd be C#m717
Watchin' reBm7ality spinnin' aF#m7round
And I saw it in my dDreams
I knew life would cC#m7hange for me
This is reBm7ality
Look at me F#m7now (Look at me now)
[Bridge]
I used to Ddream (Used to dream)
I used to dream aC#m7bout it
I knew that I would Bm7make it outF#m7  
Ain't what it Dseems (What it seems)
That's why I never C#m7doubt it
I know I'm gonna Bm7make it outF#m7  
[Chorus]
