[Verse 1]
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 f** 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, sh** is foul
'Member back as a child
They said no way, no how
They said I wouldn't be sh**
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 a** jeep
Happy as f** that people would even listen to me
Told myself if I want it then f** it I'm bout to have it
Played my cards right now they gathering around me like it's magic
Still that stubborn a** kid
Ain't sh** that you can tell em'
Brought my mom to California I put her backstage at Ellen
I'm saying
[Hook]
How, how did I get here
How, how did I get here
How, how did I get here
How, how did I get here
[Verse 2]
Still the same kid spitting at Marilla park
I ain't have the looks I had the heart, that sh** took me far
Now I got fans in the UK
'Member back sitting in my math cla** day dreaming like Lupe
MySpace days
Me and Yancey made that mixtape
Pumped as sh** 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 f** 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 sh**
Doing every little thing I said I'd do as a kid (goddamn)
[Hook]
How, how did I get here
How, how did I get here
How, how did I get here
How, how did I get here
