Already Won - Kehlani

I already won

I got the keys to my hood

Mama say she good

Doing what I should (I already won)

I got the world on my back

City on the map

No time to kick back (I already)

Stopped giving a damn about

When they tell me how I won't make it out

I already won

I already, I already won

Took the road less traveled

Yeah, I'm tired

But I'm so far from the ending

Every day I'm evolving

The world keep turning

And God keep giving

Oh Goddamn, fuck a handout

Unless I got my hands out

Then I still stand out

Damn yeah, I make them bands now

Bet I got plans now and I'm still—

Gracious in the way I move

And I treat it like I want it to

And I never got you comfortable always

And I'm thankful that I found my groove

And I'm humble, but I got the juice

I remain unstoppable always

I already won

I got the keys to my hood

Mama say she good

Doing what I should (I already won)

I got the world on my back

City on the map

No time to kick back (I already)

Stopped giving a damn about

When they tell me how I won't make it out

I already won

I already, I already won

I'm nominated for a Grammy, AMAs, and BET Awards

Man, what an honor

Never dreamed I'd do all this before

But you can't put a worth up on my art

That's my story, that's my heart

That's my soul, fuck the fame

Keep the glory

'Cause I made it out a city that ain't pretty

And it's tricky when you wanna show me love

Because it's trendy, shit be iffy

If you love me when I'm up

It's cause you see when I'm down

And only God can hand rewards

Or even give someone a crown

Because the critics bleed like I bleed

They eat like I eat

I don't put you above me

Cause you gotta judge how I sing

Get to judge how I speak

Even judge how I breathe

Just two years ago

Yeah, you were sitting right in my seat

Starving hungry like me

So empathize beside me

Understand I'm highly favored

Fuck your favors—yeah, I got me

I already won

I got the keys to my hood

Mama say she good

Doing what I should (I already won)

I got the world on my back

City on the map

No time to kick back (I already)

Stopped giving a damn about

When they tell me how I won't make it out

I already won

I already, I already won

I already won

I've already

I already won

I've already won

Already wo-uh-on
