Look At How Far I've Come

[Verse 1]

Not a day goes by, I don't think to myself

And remember the times there was no one else

I felt so alone, there was pain that I felt

'Cause even self made niggas don't wanna do it by themselves

I looked to the hills, someone's callin' for help

And He gave me the will when there was nothin' left

Lord knows that I tried, Lord knows that I cried

Those nights I couldn't eat, had to swallow my pride

But through it all, one thing remained

I kept it real, I stayed the same

And I made it through a lot of pain

Had a lot of sleepless nights, but still, I have to fight

So I went and got it out the dirt

When they told me it would never work

And the bad just kept on gettin' worse

Had to tell myself a few words from the heart

[Chorus]

Look at how far I've come and I'm here, y'all

If you think nobody feels you, best believe, I know

Look, I can't turn back now when they've killed y'all

And I can't pay all these bills, y'all, but I know one thing for sure

Look at how far I've come, even though I'm outchea stressin'

Still I gotta do my best and let it go

So I can't look back now

I gotta keep pressin' on, 'til I make it, somehow

[Verse 2]

I know some days you feel like giving up

Feel like time is running out and all you have is doubt

Tryna keep your head up, but you fed up, tryna stack your bread up

Like how come the outcome of my income isn't dough comin'?

No one is helpin', they just out for theirself

Outchea tryna make a way, hoping there's a better day

And when you think that you're done and the storm is raging

Look through the clouds and you can see the sun

Sometimes I know it's hard and life can have you stressin'

But you should count your blessings in every single lesson you've learned

It takes hard work in gettin' it out the dirt

But how could you know pleasure, if you never knew hurt?

We all go through our share of pain, ups and downs

For reasons that I can't explain

But when it's all said and done

And you think you've run as far as you can run

[Chorus]

Look at how far I've come and I'm here, y'all

If you think nobody feels you, best believe I know

Look, I can't turn back now when they've killed y'all

And I can't pay all these bills, y'all, but I know one thing for sure

Look at how far I've come, even though I'm outchea stressin'

Still I gotta do my best and let it go

So I can't look back now

I gotta keep pressin' on, 'til I make it, somehow

[Outro]

'Til I make it, somehow, I'm gonna make it, somehow

'Til I make it, somehow, 'til I make it

So I know I can't look back now

I gotta keep pressin' on, 'til I make it, somehow
