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?
