How did I get here? How did I get here? How did I get here? How did I get here? It's sad but it's true How society say her life is already over Nothing to do there and nothing to say

How did you get How did you get, get How did you get How did you get here? How did you get How did you get, get How did you get How did you get here? How the hell did I get here? Sometimes I sit here and I wonder I'm the version of me I always imagined when I was younger All the doubt I had thrown at me, all the time I invested I sit and read my own lyric books Like, "Damn, it must've been destined" Stuck to it, I improvised my way here, no rules Back when it was serious, handin' mixtapes out in my school All I had was my brain and my hunger, had to use that as tools Amount of people that told me no and I turned that into my fuel Slackin' in my schoolwork didn't care much Sisters are gettin' onto me But trust me, this music ting is my prophecy I didn't need to convince them 'cause They saw it all from just watching me Now I got them on sight, confidence rises There ain't no stopping me, I'm unstoppable Got a strong head on my shoulders And bein' good-hearted don't cost it all Times I thought I had lost it all When I ain't even have shit to my name Studio runs on foot, trekking through the rain Made me into what I became, all I wanted to be around Was like-minded people on the same page and I found that in space age Back then, we never had a penny But it didn't matter to us because our soul was nourished Shooting music videos in Chucks' garden with no budget Came up with some real ones, all the talent we had to harvest We didn't always see eye-to-eye but they always had my back regardless That was a pivotal time Breaks my heart it didn't work but we tried Still, I had never aborted the mission All that I've taken is all God has given When Tola's talking to me, then I listen Told to follow my own intuition Go at the pace I set for myself I don't need drums to follow the rhythm Couldn't have planned this, it was just written Many dreams I'm sitting on I'm made up of the same stars that I wish upon Times I thought that my prayers weren't getting answered But, boy was I wrong All it took was me knowing I'm meant to be here It's where I belong, swear I belong, yeah How did you get (like, sometimes I forget) How did you get, get How did you get How did you get here? (But I have to think back and remind myself of the journey) (It's been a beautiful one, yes) Sometimes I sit and I wonder I'm the version of me I always imagined when I was younger All the albums I studied, learned about flow and cadence I sit and listen to my old shit like, "Damn, all it took was patience" Story over the glory, other paths that weren't for me Wasn't much of an academic or road-invested or sporty Made the most with all I blessed with, of the tools in my inventory Things the teachers don't teach you And now the student might lead you If you wanna leave the class, then you're free to Everything here is subjective If you stand where we're standing You might understand the perspective How the hell did you get far? You ain't get no head start All decisions we made is based on Our circumstance, we hope to surpass it Took most of our lifetime to wake up Smell the roses, realize that the world is ours Us and them, but we worlds apart Nothing in life comes easy, and you work twice as hard 'cause you black Used to think mom exaggerated 'til the world showed me it's fact Still, it's mine for the taking, lock the doors, and we break in Still got love for them non-believers Yeah, the ones that said we won't make it Everything you want is out there waiting for you to take it The key is to have faith in your dreams and never stop chasing And you'll make it, trust (How did you get) all it was was perseverance) (How did you get, get) (How did you get) pushing, never giving up (How did you get here?) They built them walls so high up, and we tore 'em down They told us no, we said yes It's okay Some get it, some don't (It didn't take you long to get here) But we keep pushing on (How did you believe you will get here?) And in times of doubt (You didn't sell your soul, but you held on) Always (It didn't take you long to get here) And here we are It's the story of never-ending, it's been a long road Haha Feel good, don't it? Yeah (It didn't take you long to get here) Tell the kids to play this (How did you believe you would get here?) Simz

Someone you used to love So dark How did something so sweet tear us apart? Oh, on a sinking ship with a heavy heart Oohh How did we get so dark? Nobody warned you The tables would turn And I could have told you Everything you've learnt Would burn to dust Now there's no one you can trust Just someone you used to love Someone you used to love So dark How did something so sweet tear us apart? Oh, on a sinking ship with a heavy heart Oohh How did we get so dark? How'd we get so dark? How'd we get so dark? How'd we get so dark? How'd we get so dark? How'd we get so dark?

All I ever wanted was to get away And spend some time alone To a big house in the country To a private yacht with Wall St. on the phone And in a million dollar paradise Maybe I could sing a better song But I've found something different now And I finally understand That money gets you everything But it slips straight through your hands And it's love that makes the world go round And it's nationwide from town to town It gets you coming up and going down And it makes everything alright I'd give you everything and that's a start To get next to you and the keys to your heart There's something going on here Something going on behind your eyes You got me feeling kind of nervous With that Mona Lisa smile And maybe I could get a steady job Bring home the bacon 9 to 5 See I'd do anything to win you Anything at all, I've got my cards Down on the table, baby We could have a ball! Chorus There was a time when I believed That I'd be Ok Living by myself Then I laid eyes on you And I believe that I became somebody else Now I believe... yeah! yeah! yeah!
