I be the kid from the home of the mountains with the motormouth
It’s Huey Mack the West Virginia golden child
Yeah I hear em' talk I hear it loud, tune it out
Couldn’t give a fuck I made my mama proud, that’s what life’s about
Never fell in love that ain’t my style
I see feelings kicking in I kick her out, shit is foul
'Member back as a child
They said no way, no how
They said I wouldn’t be shit
Well take a look at me now
I got a crib in L. A
Walk away from the beach
I get paid for my time
And my time isn’t cheap
'Member bumping beats out of Christian’s old ass jeep
Happy as fuck that people would even listen to me
Told myself if I want it then fuck it I’m bout to have it
Played my cards right now they gathering around me like it’s magic
Still that stubborn ass kid
Ain’t shit that you can tell em'
Brought my mom to California I put her backstage at Ellen
I’m saying
How, how did I get here
How, how did I get here
How, how did I get here
How, how did I get here
Still the same kid spitting at Marilla park
I ain’t have the looks I had the heart, that shit took me far
Now I got fans in the UK
'Member back sitting in my math class day dreaming like Lupe
MySpace days
Me and Yancey made that mixtape
Pumped as shit if we even got 10 plays
Now I’m in the game and know I’m here to stay
Fans I gotta give thanks
My life was so uncertain my fortune cookies were blank
Feel like Superman I’m glad as fuck I found me a lane
Told my friends and all my family dawg I won’t ever change
Shoulda seen my mamas face the day I hit the charts
I made a living off of rapping like I work at Hallmark
'Member standing as a statue out at Liberty Tax
Now my taxes full of right offs cause I let her get back
I ain’t saying I’m rich
But I’m well off as shit
Doing every little thing I said I’d do as a kid (goddamn)
How, how did I get here
How, how did I get here
How, how did I get here
How, how did I get here
