Real People Lyrics

[Chorus]
Real people
Real people do real things
Yes we do
And real people
Real people live real lives
That's the truth

[Verse 1]
I was born far away, it was me, Moms, and Dad
And we boarded a plane and came August 10
They divorced right away, but hey, it's for the best
They were arguing constantly, breaking shit

But fortunately for me, they stayed friends
Not really besties, but they made amends
And it taught me that enemies could break bread
As long as there's common thread between them

It was hard on the day when first grade began
Kids called me some names, I won't repeat them
But the bond that we shared at home gave me strength
We promised ourselves we'd make it, amen

[Chorus]

[Break]
Clap your hands
Stomp your feet
Clap your hands
Stomp your feet
C'mon, clap your hands Stomp your feet
Clap your hands
Stomp your feet

[Chorus]

I fondly remember childhood events
I was rocking suspenders socks, kind of damp
Cause Moms had a dilemma, problem on her hands
She was all out of quarters at the laundromat

Ha, now that I'm grown, see I recognize
Just how people close to me sacrificed
In callous ways, I now realize
The amount they believed in me throughout life

And we all have a path to blaze in our lives
We all need to plan some days improvized
Overall, though, we want the same things in life
A job, paycheck, a place to reside

Fast forward to now, I'm the same as I've been
Confidence bounced, some mistakes and some wins
I'm a father myself, I'm great raising kids
We promised ourselves we'd make it, Amen

[Chorus]
