August Alsina - Look At How Far I’ve Come lyrics

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

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

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

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

'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
