How Did You Get Here (Explicit)

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 old lyric books like
D**n 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 stoppin' me I'm unstoppable
Got a strong head on my shoulders
And bein' good-hearted don't cost at all
Times I thought I had lost it all
When I ain't even have s**t to my name
Studio runs on foot trekkin' 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
Shootin' 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 talkin' to me then I listen
Told me 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 sittin' on
I'm made up of the same stars that I wish upon
Times I thought that my prayers
Weren't gettin' answered
But boy was I wrong
All it took was me knowin' I'm meant to be here
It's where I belong it's where 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 s**t like
D**n 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 was 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 standin'
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 realise 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 mum exaggerated 'til the world
Showed me it's fact
Still it's mine for the takin'
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 waitin'
For you to take it
The key is to have faith in your dreams
And never stop chasin'
And you'll make it trust
How did you get
How did you get get
All it was was perseverance
How did you get
Pushin' never givin' 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 pushin' on
How did you believe you would 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 your kids to play this
How did you believe you would get here
