Look at Us Now
Rising from Adversity: Look at Our Triumph
Lyrics
I said that I was leaving
I declared my intention to leave
Had my mind made up
I was determined and had made up my mind
No more compromises
No more willingness to make concessions
Things just got too tough
The situation became too challenging
Been beat down for so long
I've endured hardship for an extended period
I got these bruises on my soul
I carry emotional wounds
But I got back up, took my time
Despite setbacks, I stood up and took my time
Reclaimed all that they stole
I regained what was taken from me
Stole from you and from me
Referring to losses experienced by both individuals
Been past due plus late fees
Past due payments and additional charges
I say I came to collect on all of these debts
Expressing the intent to collect on owed debts with evidence
I got the receipts
Confirmation of having proof or documentation
But look at us now
Despite past difficulties, look at our current situation
So happy that we made it
Expressing joy and contentment at reaching this point
Look at us now
Highlighting the accomplishment despite doubters
Said that we couldn't
Emphasizing that others had expressed disbelief
Look at us now
Reflecting on the need to value and recognize the achievement
Got to appreciate it
Encouraging gratitude for the present state
Look at us now
Reiteration of the positive transformation
Look at us now
I feel so seen
Feeling acknowledged and understood
Had all the odds against my team
Despite challenges, the odds were against my group
Came through in the clutch
Successfully handled a crucial situation
Now hold my clutch (hey)
A play on words, holding onto my belongings tightly
'Cause I'm about to stir shit up
Preparing to create a disturbance or bring about change
No time for breakdowns, only shake downs
No time for emotional breakdowns, only confrontations
You can role with us or stay in our wake now
Inviting others to join or be left behind
Never jaded
Not embittered but annoyed
Just frustrated
Expressing frustration without losing hope
We ain't getting any younger
Recognizing the passage of time and its effects
Not that you can tell
Despite external appearances, age is not evident
But if you ever took the time to wonder how we
Encouraging contemplation on the journey from difficulties
Rose up from this hell
Emerging positively from a challenging situation
Look at us now
Reiterating the positive outcome and satisfaction
So happy that we made it
Expressing happiness and fulfillment in the achievement
Look at us now
Contradicting past doubts and denials
Said that we couldn't
Emphasizing the need to acknowledge and celebrate
Look at us now
Reiterating the importance of recognizing the accomplishment
Got to appreciate it
Encouraging gratitude for the positive transformation
Look at us now
Look at us now
