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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It's alright[00:00:32]

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

Sometimes[00:00:35]

Even if we stumbled[00:00:37]

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

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

It's alright[00:00:44]

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

Sometimes[00:00:47]

Even if we stumbled[00:00:48]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It's alright[00:01:50]

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

Sometimes[00:01:53]

Even if we stumbled[00:01:54]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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