[00:17.128]How did you get
[00:18.782]How did you get here?
[00:27.007]How did you get
[00:28.647]How did you get get
[00:30.256]How did you get
[00:31.868]How did you get here?
[00:38.580]How the hell did I get here
[00:40.084]Sometimes I sit and I wonder
[00:41.862]I'm the version of me I always imagined when I was younger
[00:45.145]All the doubt I had thrown at me
[00:46.925]All the time I invested
[00:48.442]I sit and read my old lyric books like damn it must've been destined
[00:51.724]Stuck to it I improvised my way here no rules
[00:55.015]Back when it was serious handing mixtapes out in my school
[00:58.314]All I had was my brain and my hunger had to use that as tools
[01:01.667]Amount of people that told me no and I turned that into my fuel
[01:04.808]Slacking in my school work didn't care much
[01:07.343]Sisters are getting on to me
[01:08.934]But trust me this music ting is my prophecy
[01:11.512]I didn't need to convince them cos they saw it all from just watching me
[01:14.770]Now I got them on side confidence rises there ain't no stopping me I'm unstoppable
[01:18.740]Got a strong head on my shoulders and being good hearted don't cost as all
[01:22.114]Times I thought I had lost it all
[01:23.472]When I didn't even have shxt to my name
[01:25.246]Studio runs on foot trekking through the rain
[01:27.684]Made me into what I became
[01:29.453]All I wanted to be around was like minded people on the same page
[01:33.534]And I found that in space age
[01:35.307]Back then we never made a penny but it didn't matter us because our soul was nourished
[01:38.707]Shooting music videos in Chucks' garden with no budget
[01:41.897]Came up with some real ones
[01:43.406]All the talent we had to harvest
[01:45.087]We didn't alway see eye to eye but they always had my back regardless
[01:48.909]That was a pivotal time
[01:50.057]Breaks my heart it didn't work but we tried
[01:51.761]Still I never aborted the mission
[01:53.427]All that I've taken is all God has given
[01:55.017]When Tola's speaking to me then I listen
[01:56.634]Told to follow my own intuition
[01:58.301]Go at the pace I set for myself
[01:59.878]I don't need drums to follow the rhythm
[02:01.594]Couldn't of planned this it was just written
[02:03.220]Many dreams I'm sitting on
[02:04.794]I'm made up of the same stars that I wish upon
[02:07.238]Times I thought my prayers weren't getting answered but boy was I wrong
[02:10.606]All it took is me knowing I'm meant to be here it's where I belong
[02:13.732]It's where I belong yeah
[02:16.715]And sometimes I forget
[02:21.839]But I have to think back and remind myself of the journey
[02:26.993]It's been a beautiful one
[02:29.301]Jheeze
[02:31.893]Sometimes I sit and I wonder
[02:33.570]I'm the version of me I always imagined when I was younger
[02:36.827]All the albums I studied
[02:38.531]Learning bout flow and cadence
[02:40.146]I sit and listen to my old shxt like damn all it took was patience
[02:43.476]Story over the glory
[02:45.057]Other paths that weren't for me
[02:46.711]Wasn't much of an academic or road invested or sporty
[02:49.923]Made the most with all I blessed with the tools in my inventory
[02:53.267]Things the teachers don't teach you
[02:54.921]And now the student might lead you
[02:56.264]If you wanna leave the class your free too
[02:58.332]Everything here's subjective
[02:59.925]If you stand we're we standing you might understand the perspective
[03:03.269]How the hell did you get far
[03:04.887]You ain't get no head start
[03:06.494]All decisions we made was based on our circumstance
[03:08.708]We hoped to surpass
[03:09.500]It took most of our lifetime to wake up, smell the roses, realise that the world is ours
[03:13.859]Us and them but we worlds apart
[03:19.560]Nothing in life comes easy and you work twice as hard to you black
[03:22.888]Used to think mum exaggerated till the world showed me it's fact
[03:26.187]Still it's mine for the taking
[03:27.944]Lock the doors and we break in
[03:29.531]Still got love for them non believers yeah the ones that said we won't make it
[03:32.876]Everything you want is out there waiting for you to take it
[03:36.031]The key is to have faith in your dreams and never stop chasing and you'll make it trust
[03:42.723]All it was was perseverance
[03:45.077]Pushing never giving up
[03:49.063]They built them walls so high up and we tore em down
[03:53.144]They told us no
[03:54.806]We said yes
[03:56.240]It's okay
[03:58.654]Some get it some don't
[03:59.734]I didn't take you long to get here
[04:04.524]But we keep pushing on
[04:06.054]How did you believe you would get here?
[04:10.793]And in times of doubt
[04:12.573]You didn't sell your soul but you held on
[04:16.873]Always
[04:19.372]It didn't take you long to get here
[04:23.447]And here we are
[04:27.358]It's the story of never ending
[04:29.297]It's been a long road
[04:33.342]Ha
[04:35.000]Feel good don't it?
[04:37.414]Yeah
[04:39.091]I didn't take you long to get here - tell your kids to play this
[04:45.577]How did you believe you would get here?
