(Verse 1) 
 
On a cold dizzy lifeline, 
You were not to be seen. 
It’s just you and your boyfriend, 
He is causing a scene. 
I ask him to leave now, 
Get out of my house. 
But he looks me up and down, 
You scurry like a mouse. 
 
See, this guy is controlling, 
But you don’t give a fuck. 
You don’t care that you’re hurting ones you love just to make a buck. 
Mama sits on her rocker, 
Staring me in the eye. 
I tell her, “mama I just don’t know, 
What to do with guy the guy.” 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Welcome to real world of modern living. 
It’ll kill your vibes, 
Might break down your hive. 
We’re having so much fun while we’re modern living. 
Mammy, please don’t go. 
Dad, I love you so. 
 
(Verse 2) 
 
There she glimmers on her Beamer, 
Black, came with a bow, oh. 
Her sweet sixteen, it was alright, 
Didn’t go to L.A. though. 
But then daddy comes in, 
Sweet credit card. 
He makes everything so better, 
These tough times are hard. 
 
Mama and daddy are fighting, 
I hang out with myself. 
I’m trapped in between a world that’s full of anguish and fury of hell. 
I cannot escape it, 
I cannot steer the wheel. 
So here I am, lying in bed still and I have no appeal. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Welcome to real world of modern living.
