Mahalia IRL Lyrics
They say it takes 10 years to make a girl get bigger
Then another 10 to secure your position
At least for me this is my story and my vision
Maybe I should tell you how I started this mission
13 with a big dream of being in a big scene in a big city
Singing songs that they sing with me
I love it when you sing with me
Small town so we moved out
Momma drove me around to different crowds
Who she promised one day would sing to me
I love it when you sing to me, yeah
I just wanna see in real life
What it is I see when I close my eyes
I just wanna see, I just wanna yeah
I just wanna be in real life
What I choose to be when I’m in my mind
I just wanna be, I just wanna
2017 made a couple videos
Took me a while but they took me on the road yeah
“Now that I am sober” yeah
Well, all you really need is somebody who believes in you
One into three and three multiplies easy
Don’t get me wrong nah, this was never easy
Cos I remember when
I was 13 with a big dream of being in a big scene in a big city
Singing songs that they sing with me
I love it when you sing with me
Small town so we moved out
Momma drove me around to different crowds
Who she promised one day would sing to me
I love it when you sing to me, yeah
I just wanna see in real life
What it is I see when I close my eyes
I just wanna see, I just wanna
I just wanna be in real life
What I choose to be when I’m in my mind
I just wanna be, I just wanna
I just wanna see in real life
What it is I see when I close my eyes
I just wanna see, I just wanna see yeah yeah no no I just wanna be in real life
What I choose to be when I’m in my mind
I just wanna be, I just wanna
(yeah yeah yeah, no no no)
So my last piece of advice
You better decide
Who you gonna take to the sky with you
As you go up up
Some people gonna tug tug, tug you down
They don’t really wanna ride with you
And we can’t afford to let them man around
They only wanna touch up up on your crown
