Classified - Never Turns Out How You Thought it Would lyrics

All the things that you thinkin
But, you don't know
We don't know where we're goin
Thinkin a moment's gone past
Motions movin so slow

Yeah, she was seventeen years old
Life was good
Innocent young girl from a nice neighborhood
Big white house with a small picket fence
Known around school
Had a choice pickin friends
You know, cheerleader, real good grades
Never smoked weed when her
Friends would blaze
So a bigger picture and built the framework
Mature for her age and
Nobody could change her
Life's unexpected, it shakes you up
So after high school, life will wake you up
She went on to University
All her friends went
Loosened up a bit and started to experiment
(yeah) grades started slippin when the
Liquor started tippin
Five months later and the
Girl started sniffin
Six months later, she wants to drop out
Eight months later, it's over, she walks out
Parents hate it and don't accept failure
(nah)
Diss on her daughter, won't write or mail her
(yeah) lives on the streets now
Kicked out her trailer (yeah)
Trick out herself to pay
For drug paraphernalia
Life is funny but shit ain't a joke
No one laughs when it happens
To someone you know
Happens every single day in the
World that we live in (yeah)
It never turns out how you thought it would
Did it? (nope)

All the things that you thinkin
But you don't know
We don't know where we're goin
Thinkin a moment's gone past
Motions movin so slow

Brought up in insolent conditions
In a position, outside the lines that fit in

Yeah, he was seven years old
And came from nothin (yeah)
Never knew his father and his
Mother never loved him (nah)
Nothin at his home 'cause he never had a home
(nope) grew up on the streets
Had to learn on his own
Started doin drugs at a early age
Got his first court case at the age of eight
And everybody said he's on
A path to destruction
Always would remind him that
He'd amount to nothin
In and out of juvenile every other year
But at seventeen starts to get his head clear
He figured out things quicker than most
'Cause he was thrown into life
Without guidance from his folks
You mature a lot quicker when you have to
Cleaned up his act, did what he had to
Grew tired of the drugs and the tattoos
Didn't follow in his mom's or his dad's shoes
Couldn't let the cycle continue
But he gotta eat and picks his
Own food from the menu
Twenty-five, now he's got a real job
Wife and kids
He built his life from shit (shit)
Life is funny but shit ain't a joke
Doesn't matter what we come from
We just don't know
Where our life's gonna go in this
World that we live in
It never turns out how you thought it would
Did it?

All the things that you thinkin
But you don't know
We don't know where we're goin
Thinkin a moment's gone past
Motions movin so slow

Never turns out how you thought it would
Did it?

All the things that you thinkin
But, you don't know
We pick our own path and take it
