《Born & Raised》歌词

[00:00:00] Born & Raised (出生和成长) - Joy Denalane

[00:00:12] I was the first of three sisters

[00:00:14] My older brothers would treat me like a princess

[00:00:17] Sporting flattops and high-top sneakers

[00:00:20] My feet too small for my brand new Adidas

[00:00:22] 7 in the evening when my mama calls

[00:00:25] Were playing dodge ball up against the Berlin wall

[00:00:28] That's how I was born and raised

[00:00:30] Now mama look at where I am today

[00:00:32] It's alright

[00:00:34] Even though we had to struggle

[00:00:35] Sometimes

[00:00:37] Even if we stumbled

[00:00:38] It's all good

[00:00:40] Cause I learned how to stay on my feet

[00:00:44] It's alright

[00:00:45] Even though we had to struggle

[00:00:47] Sometimes

[00:00:48] Even if we stumbled

[00:00:49] It's all good

[00:00:51] Cause I learned how to do for me

[00:00:54] If my life's like your life then I want for you to know

[00:01:01] There's not a thing in the world you can't achieve

[00:01:06] If your life's like my life you got to keep on keeping on

[00:01:13] Cause there's so much more you can be

[00:01:18] 16 when I first left home

[00:01:20] Already hard headed thinking I was grown

[00:01:23] Berlin girl half African half Caucasian

[00:01:26] Imagine conflicts I'm facing

[00:01:29] Skipped school went clubbing with them black Gi's

[00:01:31] Arguments on the phone would make my mama cry

[00:01:34] I fell in love with this thug daddy threw a fit

[00:01:37] Only took one year that n**ga's doing a bid

[00:01:39] This is back when p e gave us identity

[00:01:42] A young girl in the streets of west Germany

[00:01:46] That's how I was born and raised

[00:01:48] Now mama look at where I am today

[00:01:50] It's alright

[00:01:51] Even though we had to struggle

[00:01:53] Sometimes

[00:01:54] Even if we stumbled

[00:01:56] It's all good

[00:01:58] Cause I learned how to do for me

[00:02:01] If my life's like your life then I want for you to know

[00:02:09] There's not a thing in the world you can't achieve

[00:02:15] If your life's like my life you got to keep on keeping on

[00:02:19] Cause there's so much more you can be

[00:02:24] Hip hop soul was the brand new rage

[00:02:27] Became my real love with Mary J

[00:02:30] I took my first steps on a spot lit stage

[00:02:32] It was clear I was here to stay

[00:02:35] See it wasn't always easy on this path I chose

[00:02:37] When it starts getting sleazy don't know friend from foe

[00:02:41] That's when I learned to discern and stand up for me

[00:02:44] And took control of my own destiny

[00:02:46] If my life's like your life then I want for you to know

[00:02:53] There's not a thing in the world you can't achieve

[00:02:57] If your life's like my life you got to keep on keeping on

[00:03:04] Cause there's so much more you can be

[00:03:08] It's all good

[00:03:16] Cause I learned how to do for me

[00:03:26] If my life's like your life then I want for you to know

[00:03:37] There's not a thing in the world you can't achieve

[00:03:42] If your life's like my life you got to keep on keeping on

[00:03:48] Cause there's so much more you can be
