I Was Born

Soulful, honest, and rooted in real-life experience, Leona Leavy brings storytelling and emotion to this song about her life.

Lyrics:

I was born on the wrong side of the tracks in a little house but it was really a shack. My mother didn't have very much to give, nothing but love, a warm heart a sweet voice and a place to live. She said always keep you a good car so you can find work. Cause these men will put you down But you can always find work. HOOK: I was born in the country, raised in the projects, schooled n the city, broken in the church. 2nd verse: I knew my daddy loved me he'd tell me all the time. I love u baby girl you gone be somebody in this world sum day. Don't take no wooden nickels, don't be no snitch, sing yo own song and never worry about another bitch. HOOK: I was born in the country, raised in the projects, schooled in the city and broken in the church.
