[Verse 1]
Wake up, same stain on my tee
Same look in the glass, same grin on me
I was supposed to be clean, now I’m knee-deep
Too many wrong turns, now the whole block know me
Mama asked, "What happened to you?"
I said, "I don’t know, it just happened, it do"
One bad night turned to ten more
Now I’m out here tryna kick down that door
I had a plan, had a name, had a lane
Then the money got loud and it bent my brain
Now I move funny when the sirens cry
And I still ask God when I pass by
[Pre-Chorus]
How did I get like this?
Hands on the wheel, still I missed
How did I get like this?
One more step and I’m past the ridge
[Chorus]
How did I get like this?
How did I get like this?
Same old face, new scars on the wrist
How did I get like this?
How did I get like this?
How did I get like this?
I keep saying I’m done with this
How did I get like this?
[Verse 2]
He roll his D’s in did, I’m cut from the same
Talk too slick, got a hole in my name
Ran with the wolves, now I sleep with one eye
Every "I’m good" got a lie inside
Back then I was fresh, now I’m weathered and bent
Every promise I made, man, I spent what I spent
Got a pocket full of reasons and a head full of noise
And a fist full of smoke from the bad little choices
I don’t brag, I just carry the load
Every little win came with a crack in the code
I was trying to be gold, ended up chrome
Now the mirror talk back when I’m all alone
[Bridge]
If I fold, would you still know my face?
If I run, would you still leave a trace?
I ain’t proud, but I can’t erase
How I got here, how I lost that pace
[Chorus]
How did I get like this?
How did I get like this?
Same old face, new scars on the wrist
How did I get like this?
How did I get like this?
How did I get like this?
I keep saying I’m done with this
How did I get like this?
