How Did You Get Here Lyrics:
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 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 damn it must’ve been destined
Stuck to it I improvised my way here no rules
Back when it was serious handing 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
Slacking in my school work didn’t care much
Sisters are getting on to me
But trust me this music ting is my prophecy
I didn’t need to convince them cos they saw it all from just watching me
Now I got them on side confidence rises there ain’t no stopping me I’m unstoppable
Got a strong head on my shoulders and being good hearted don’t cost as all
Times I thought i had lost it all
When I didn’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 made a penny but it didn’t matter 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 alway 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 never aborted the mission
All that I’ve taken is all God has given
When Tola’s speaking 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 of 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 my prayers weren’t getting answered but boy was I wrong
All it took is me knowing I’m meant to be here it’s where I belong
It’s where I belong yeah
And sometimes I forget
But I have to think back and remind myself of the journey
Its been a beautiful one
Jheeze
Sometimes I sit and I wonder
I’m the version of me I always imagined when I was younger
All albums I studied
Learning bout 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 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 your free too
Everything here’s subjective
If you stand we’re we standing you might understand the perspective
How the hell did you get far
You ain’t get no head start
All decisions we made was based on our circumstance
We hoped 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 to you black
Used to think mum exaggerated till the world showed me its 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
All it was was perseverance
Pushing never giving up
They built them walls so high up and we tore em down
They told us no
We said yes
Its okay
Some get it some don’t
I didn’t take you long to get here
But we keep pushing 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
Its the story of never ending
Its been a long road
Ha
Feel good don’t it?
Yeah
I didn’t take you long to get here – tell your kids to play this
How did you believe you would get here?
