Look At How Far I`ve Come - August Alsina
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 coming for help
And he gave me the will
when there was nothing 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 up out the dirt
When they told me it
would never work
And the bad
just kept on getting worse
Had to tell myself a few
words from the heart
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
better know one thing
for sure
Look at how far
I've come even though
I'm outchea stressing
Still I gotta do my best and let it go
So I can't look back now
I gotta keep pressing on
'til I make it somehow
I know some day
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 stressing
But you should
count your blessings
in every single lesson
you've learned
It takes hard work
in getting up 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
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 no
when they've killed y'all
And I can't pay all these bills y'all
better know one thing
for sure
Look at how far I've come
even though I'm outchea stressing
Still I gotta do my best and let it go
So I can't look back now
I gotta keep pressing on
'til I make it somehow
'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 know
I gotta keep pressing on
'til I make it somehow
