this is how I used to feel

Yeah… This how I used to feel Had to keep it real Yeah [Verse 1] This how I used to feel, Thought the pain was real, Smiling in they face, But my heart was sealed. I was down bad, Had to find my way, Nobody came around, Now they know my name. Late nights, no sleep, Had dreams too deep, Had to stay strong, Had to watch my feet. They ain't see the struggle, They ain't see the tears, I was fighting battles I was hiding for years. [Hook] This how I used to feel, Now I'm standing still, Look at where I'm at, I can see the hills. I was feeling low, Now I'm on the road, Had to lose some things Just to find my soul. [Verse 2] I remember days I ain't feel okay, Still got up early, Still went through the day. Had a lot of thoughts, Had a lot to prove, Turned all that pressure Into something new. Now I'm moving different, I don't chase no crowd, I just keep it pushing, Tryna make folks proud. If you knew me then, You'd see I'm not the same, I turned all that pain Into fuel for the flame. [Outro] This how I used to feel, But that was back then, I found my way out, Now I rise again. Yeah… That was back then. I'm still here.
