Lyrics
Way back when seems like yesterday
Reflecting on the past, which feels like yesterday.
All torn up - I threw my life away
Expressing a sense of self-destruction and regret.
Oh tough times – my thing pain
Facing tough times and enduring personal pain.
Gas on E but I know I can accelerate - No
Having low resources (Gas on E), but confident in accelerating forward.
Nobody’s gonna help me - whoa
Feeling that nobody will come to help.
Everybody doubts me - Yea Yeah
Dealing with doubt from others.
Nah I know it ain’t easy or healthy
Acknowledging that the journey is neither easy nor healthy.
And I see you when you thinking all about
Observing someone thinking about the speaker.
Whoa- Now you thinking all about me
Realizing that the same person is now thinking about the speaker.
I’ve arrived
Declaring arrival, achieving a significant moment.
I’ve been waiting for this moment
Anticipating and waiting for the current achievement.
No surprise I’ve always known it
Expressing that the achievement was expected.
Nobody’s gonna slow me down
Confident that nothing will impede progress.
Thought I would die in my hometown
Contrasting the expectation of dying in hometown with the current success.
I’ve arrived
Reiterating the sense of arrival.
Oh I see it I can – Oh I see it I can hold it - I’ve arrived
Expressing the visibility and grasp of the achievement.
No cold feet - press me heavily
Being fearless and ready to face challenges.
Soaked in bleach got brand new enemies
Having new adversaries despite success.
Woah rough ride – won’t leave my brain
Acknowledging the difficulty but retaining resilience.
Cut my teeth but I know I got the remedy – woah
Recognizing experience and having the solution to problems.
Nobody’s gonna break me- woah
Believing in personal strength, immune to external influence.
Nothing is gonna phase me - Ya Ya
Remaining unaffected and unswayed by challenges.
Nah I know it’s not easy God help me
Acknowledging the difficulty and seeking divine assistance.
And I see you when you thinking all about me
Observing someone thinking about the speaker.
Woah - When you thinking all about me
Repeating the impact of the speaker on someone's thoughts.
I’ve arrived - I’ve been waiting for this moment
Reiterating the arrival and waiting for the moment.
No surprise I’ve always known it - Yeah
Expressing that the arrival was anticipated.
Nobody’s gonna slow me down
Confident that nothing will hinder progress.
Thought I would die in my home town
Contrasting the expectation of dying in hometown with the current success.
I’ve arrived
Emphasizing the sense of arrival.
Oh I see it I can – Oh I see it I can hold it - I’ve arrived
Reaffirming the visibility and grasp of the achievement.
Nobody take it from me I’m here
Asserting that no one can take away the speaker's achievement.
Carving in with blood and tears
Highlighting the hard work and sacrifice put into the accomplishment.
Billion lives took me years and years and years – ay
Quantifying the struggle and effort over a long period.
Pain in my body I’m aching
Acknowledging physical pain and exhaustion.
All of a sudden I’m taking
Unexpectedly gaining success.
Funny I’m flirting with fate, you knew I was coming – ay
Engaging with fate and expressing inevitability.
I’ve arrived - I’ve been waiting for this moment
Reiterating the arrival and waiting for the moment.
No surprise I’ve always known it
Expressing that the arrival was expected.
Nobody’s gonna slow me down
Confident that nothing will impede progress.
Thought I would die in my home down
Contrasting the expectation of dying in hometown with the current success.
I’ve arrived
Emphasizing the sense of arrival.
Oh I see it I can – Oh I see it I can hold it - I’ve arrived
Reaffirming the visibility and grasp of the achievement.
