Uh, I don't know how you do it
All that shit you get through, you just get through it
Don't post your business on the Gram so nobody never knew it
But when shit was lookin' bad and your situation was bleak
All you did was persevere
'Cause it ain't nothin' 'bout you weak (ain't nothin' 'bout you weak, shorty)
People on the sideline watchin' your moves
But they can't never judge you, they can't walk in your shoes
They ain't know what it's like tryna raise a son and a daughter
And gotta do it on your own 'cause niggas killed your baby father
And when you ain't had no help and had to do it all yourself
Workin' all them double shifts
To keep that food upon the shelf (you took care of them kids though)
You ain't let it knock you down, ain't let it stress you
Heard you opened your own business, you gon' be successful
When you hurtin' inside, I can see it in your eyes
I know you ain't been the same since your kids' father's demise (I see it though)
I just had to let you know I think you brilliant
I made this song to applaud your resilience (you the shit, baby)
I know that life ain't always treatin' you right (I know life ain't fair)
I know you tired, always puttin' up fights (uh, uh)
But I know it'll be alright (it's gon' be aight)
'Cause look how far you made it (yeah)
Sometimes in tunnels, you can't see the light (uh huh)
I know you struggle just to sleep at night (talk to 'em)
But I promise it'll be alright (it's gon' be aight)
'Cause look how far you made it
Look how far, look how far
Look how far
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, no, no (yeah)
All the opps are cruisin' life, you overcame
But you just handled your business, you ain't never complained
Felt like nobody was there when you was endurin' all that pain
All the losses that you took but look how much you gained
Uh, look how far you made it, look how far you came
I don't know how you maintained
How the f*ck you remained sane, shorty (for real)
Hah, I just admire your strength
You deserve a king that's buyin' you gifts and throwin' diamonds on your fist
Got you rockin' all the designer you wish
Fly you on trips to islands just so the climate'll switch
I promise you this, you got my number, every time you dial it, it's lit
You the shit, I'm just acknowledgin' it (that's a fact, baby)
Knew you was special the moment that I met you
But you had issues in your life startin' to stress you and I wouldn't let you
Yeah, I love the way you persevere
Now when I see you, you smilin' ear to ear, if you ever need me, I'm here
I know that life ain't always treatin' you right (yeah)
I know you tired, always puttin' up fights (uh)
But I know it'll be alright (uh, uh, uh)
'Cause look how far you made it (look how far you made it)
Sometimes in tunnels, you can't see the light (yeah)
I know you struggle just to sleep at night (uh)
But I promise it'll be alright
'Cause look how far you made it (you made it baby)
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, no, no (uh, ah)
And oh, and oh (yeah)
Mmmm
This for all the females out there
That been goin' through somethin' (oh, oh)
All the trials and tribulations of life (no)
You know, you feel like life throwin' you lemons
But you made lemonade, baby (ooh ooh ooh)
I just wanna let you know I'm proud of you
I think you brilliant
I think you beautiful (oh, oh, mmm, mmm)
You know what I'm sayin', this song for you (go far)
Yeah, Machine (mmm mmm, mmm mmm)
Amber Simone (mmm mmm)
Griselda (mmm mmm)
