I'm unemployed, they hold me down by my feet
My nigga went jail, I caught a uni degree
I slept on the floor and I got dirt on my jeans
I can't pattern my life, too many holes in the seams
Mum, I just came from the war
There was a party in my head, I'm breathing all of the cold
Broken glasses, lost my high from all the blood on the floor
They play our war cries in their clubs, it's getting all over the floor
Feel like I'm under the floor, yeah, uh
How'd I get here? Hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya
How'd I get here? Hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya
How'd I get here? Hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya
How'd I get here? Hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya
Yeah, the party's over in my head and now I'm slammin' the doors
Frames of pictures graze my horse, feel like I've been here before
They play our war cries in their clubs, I'll burn this house to the floor (oh, oh, oh)
And they didn't watch me before, yeah
How'd I get here? Hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya
How'd I get here? Hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya
How'd I get here? Hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya
How'd I get here? Hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
How'd I get here? Hey ya
How'd I get here?
Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya (black British music)
How'd I get here? Hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya
How'd I get here? Hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya
Yeah
