How Many Times

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah

[Chorus]
How many times do you think I fell?
How many times did I go through Hell?
When they told me that I, I, I, I, I, I
I wouldn't be nothin'
How many times did you think I'd cry?
They were holding me down and I kept my smile
When they told me that I, I, I, I, I, I
I wouldn't be nothin'

[Verse 1]
I'm used to not having nobody bother
Suddenly we all came from the bottom
Now I'm supposed to share my blessings with all them
Like I never, earned my stripes, like I bought 'em, (Yewena)
When shit got hard, I got harder, (Yewena)
When the money got small, I stood taller
I played all my finesse cards right 'cause I'm a charmer
I get that from my father and a couple step mamas
I can't even rest now I'm staying out 'til morning
Peeking out my window, I'm looking out for the stalkers
Gotta stay alive at all cost 'cause we young black bosses
If I had been broke another year, I woulda lost it
Cautious, working hard, bitch
I'm in my pocket, I'm in my case and I'm in my office
I'm still on my raw shit
With all my stars on floss, bitch
I found my light when it was the darkest (Yeah, ah)

[Chorus]
How many times do you think I fell?
How many times did I go through Hell?
When they told me that I, I, I, I, I, I
I wouldn't be nothin'
How many times did you think I'd cry?
They were holding me down and I kept my smile
When they told me that I, I, I, I, I, I
I wouldn't be nothin'

[Verse 2]
Where they at? Abekho
When you hop inside the ride, it's like ngishis' impepho
All my hands inside my pockets, kugcwele iZesto
I told 'em only I decide, if I'm special
If you don't see who run it now, get your specs, bro
I'm humble as a fucking child, I'm on they neck though
I clean up in Balenciaga and made a mess though, ooh
Ooh (I made a mess)
Ooh (I made a mess)
Ooh (I made a mess), yeah
Ooh (I made a mess)
Ooh (I made a mess)
Ooh (I made a mess)
Ooh (I made a mess), damn

[Chorus]
How many times do you think I fell?
How many times did I go through Hell?
When they told me that I, I, I, I, I, I
I wouldn't be nothin'
How many times did you think I cry?
They were holding me down and I kept my smile
When they told me that I, I, I, I, I, I
I wouldn't be nothin'
