Young Reela - I'm Here Lyrics

This chapter in my life is called "Embracing my purpose"
I almost died three times throughout my life
2 times by the age of 5
First time, I was choking on a piece of food, my Father did the heimlich and saved me
The second time I was almost drowning and my Godfather came and saved me
The third time I was almost hit by a pickup truck when I was 12 years old
He was doing 60 and somehow he swerved
So you can't tell me I ain't here for a reason and that reason is to inspire

I got knocked up off my pivot but I'm here
This time I never felt success was so near
So close boy I almost shed a tear
I ain't never seen nothing this clear
This my level up yeah this be a better us
Said we'll be in last place homie never us
Cross the fam know it's pressure and you dead to us
I hit rock bottom so the only way to head is up

Humble beginnings make for arrogant endings
When you, coming authentic and you never pretending
Can't get no lower than I have, eyes stuck to the ceiling
Girl I'm married to the game, I got no other dealings
Overthinking, I'm just feeling that I ain't great enough
Counted these Heartbreak Hundreds till I got some paper cuts
I took that bloodshed, mixed with ink into the pad
Mixed my losses and my pain, tell me what we have
My best work, boy I studied my assignment
Had a date with destiny and then we spoke about alignment
Just to point me to my fate, she reconfirmed that was rhyming
Now the only thing I'm doing is putting the work behind it (Uh)
It's so easy to kick me when I'm down and out
Wasn't at the bottom with me but you round for clout
I've always been used to people that steady count me out
Too ironic Heartbreak Hundreds really what I'm counting now (Uh)

I got knocked up off my pivot but I'm here
This time I never felt success was so near
So close boy I almost shed a tear
I ain't never seen nothing this clear
This my level up yeah this be a better us
Said we'll be in last place homie never us
Cross the fam know it's pressure and you dead to us
I hit rock bottom so the only way to head is up

I had somebody ask me the other day, like "What's your brand?"
I said "My brand? What you talking bout?"
He was like "Yeah bro like, what do you want to be remembered as?"
I said "Man I'm that quiet kid in the back of the class who cool with everybody
You see him greet everybody
The cool kid pass, I'm greeting em
The fine woman that everybody want, I'm greeting em
The nerd, I'm greeting em
The jock, I'm greeting em
But I'm quiet though
Nobody really know who I am
You gotta come find out for yourself
Not only that, because you so quiet
People don't really know until they speak to you
Like, what type of person you are
And I predicate myself on being that inspiration for people who
Not the loudest in the room but potentially could have the most talent in the room
That's what I wanna be remembered as"
