LOOK AT ME NOW [Verse 1] Here I stand again, face to face with the mirror Can’t believe I made it here, still the old days feel near Couple years back, I was one bad night from gone Bottle by the bed, curtains closed till dawn Powder on the table, empty smiles in the room Called it living in the moment, while digging my tomb Took my family for granted, let the good ones feel alone Three kids needing their father while I barely made it home Every setback made me bitter, every loss became permission To get drunk, forget the pain, then repeat the same condition I was blaming everybody, but the truth was getting clear I was running from myself while the end was getting near Now I look into the glass, see the damage and the doubt See the man who almost lost it, see the man who made it out I ain’t proud of where I’ve been, but I’m proud I turned around They were waiting on my downfall—look at me now [Hook] Look at me now I was lost, I found a way out Odds stacked high, still I stayed down Ten toes strong—look at me now Look at me now I got scars, but I wear ’em proud They thought life would count me out I came back—look at me now [Verse 2] I cut the late nights, cut the liquor, cut the lies Cut the numbers in my phone that kept the old me alive Started coming home early, started hearing my kids Started showing them with actions what a real father is Put the anger in the weights, put the pain in every session Every rep became a promise, every set became confession When my mind said, “Take the easy road, you earned another fall,” I remembered three small faces and I gave that weight my all Got a better job, more pressure, but I welcomed the demand Used to hide from responsibility, now I meet it like a man Paid my debts, kept my word, put the food back in the kitchen Started building what I ruined through a thousand bad decisions No big movie transformation, no applause, no perfect day Just a hundred quiet mornings when I chose a different way Now my children run to meet me when they hear me coming home That’s the richest I have felt, more than money, more than gold [Hook] Look at me now I was lost, I found a way out Odds stacked high, still I stayed down Ten toes strong—look at me now Look at me now I got scars, but I wear ’em proud They thought life would count me out I came back—look at me now [Bridge] From the bottle to the barbell From the parties to the plans From a shadow in the doorway To a father they can trust God gave me another morning I gave everything I had I was inches from the ending Now I’m never going back [Final Hook] Look at me now I was lost, I found a way out Odds stacked high, still I stayed down Ten toes strong—look at me now Look at me now I got scars, but I wear ’em proud They thought life would count me out I came back—look at me now [Outro] Still here Still clean Still fighting Still me
