How Did You Get Here (Explicit) - Little Simz
Lyrics by:Simbiatu Ajikawo/Dean Josiah Cover
Composed by:Simbiatu Ajikawo/Dean Josiah Cover
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
