Who woulda thought?
Why do I feel like I've been here before? I started from nothing
Nothing but a dream, the vision I saw, I've vividly drawn, precision
The life that I'm living is written
Some of the papers are crippled and torn
But who woulda thought? Said, who woulda—
Said, who woulda thought?
Maybe my dreams ain't quite what they bought
Who woulda thought?
I guess I'm chasing gold coming from stone
I knew that I'd have what it takes (what it takes)
My foot on the gas, ain't pressin' no brakes
I can take you back to regular days, still fresh in my brain (my brain)
Still feels like yesterday
This time last year, just turned 18
No cake, all cream
A broke arse kid from Brighton with a big dream
And I still believed
I was writin' bars, workin' in a warehouse
It was only music I cared 'bout
Cut off my girl, my friends, my family, I got my head down
The bars came to my head while I was in bed and I ain't goin' bed now
Born for this, normal kid, if I can do this, you can do it all, trust me
We're all clueless but we ain't lucky
Been through shit, kept it movin'
Now we're too lit, can't nobody touch me, reborn, ha
I find that shit funny, man, who would have thought?
I mean, of course, but who would have thought? Who woulda—
I've grown, I've fought, I've been reborn
'Cause that's what life taught me
And now, who woulda thought that I'd be chasing gold, coming from stone?
Broken homes, broken homes
And I've been chasing gold, coming from stone
Broken homes, broken homes
And I've been chasing gold, coming from stone
We flipped it (flipped it)
Now it's all litness, tell 'em we did it (we did it)
I've got God, I'm still the same kiddy (ha)
But I won't go back to that place, I admit it (no way)
Broken homes, they're just building bricks
'Cause all that pain, it helped build the kid
Still healing (still), with a feeling (huh)
Of bein' on top, nuttin' can beat it (nuttin')
The hurdles, I beat it (beat it)
Now the girlies I'm beatin' are ten out of ten
My brother, my friends
And I still got love for the roots 'til the end ('til the end)
Forever, for sure
True, life ain't the same anymore
I was just that kid from the shore
And now I'm on top of the world
Man, who woulda thought?
Why do I feel like I've been here before? I started from nothing
Nothing but a dream, the vision I saw, I've vividly drawn, precision (hmm)
The life that I'm living is written (hmm, hmm)
Some of the papers are crippled and torn (hmm)
But who woulda thought? Said, who woulda—
I've grown, I've fought, I've been reborn
'Cause that's what life taught me
And now, who woulda thought that I'd be chasing gold, coming from stone?
Broken homes, broken homes
And I've been chasing gold, coming from stone
Broken homes, broken homes
And I've been chasing gold, coming from stone
