Russ

Tell me how d you do it, oh
For me
For me
If I could ask you anything
Anything
Oh

Tell me how d you do it, oh
For me
For me
If I could ask you anything
Anything
Oh

Your world exploded, how d you not implode?
How d you effortlessly juggle every single role?
You were only twenty-three, that s when most people leave
You stayed behind to give your family
The support that they need
That was selfless
How d do you it with no help while feeling helpless?
How d you stick to the plan?
People who didn t lift a finger, how d you give em a hand?
How d you keep on making hits
While shit was hittin the fan?
You stood your ground, you didn t flee, it was 2016
You navigated the business without a business degree
Didn t have a random child or get hooked on drugs
People tried to pull you down but you just pushed on, huh
I m proud of you
It s clearer now that I m through it
If I saw you right now, I would ask how d you do it
You did the right thing
It s clearer now that I m through it
If I saw you right now
I would ask how d you do it, for real

Tell me how d you do it, oh
For me
For me
If I could ask you anything
Anything
Oh

You bought Dad a house
And finally understand his perspective
How d you reconcile with him and let go of resentment?
How d you finally realize that Mom s emotions aren t yours?
How d you build a life
That doesn t just revolve around tours?
You re authentically yourself, man, I m dying to be
You found solace in the spotlight that was blinding to me
You got a girlfriend and two dogs
How d you find someone you trust?
How d you build a connection with her
That s deeper than lust?
You got fit, how the fuck did you cut back on the liquor?
All your interviews are grounded
You don t come off so bitter
You finally got a therapist to help you carry your struggles
I dug a hole, you got us out and then you buried the shovel
How d you even find the courage to acknowledge it?
How d you find humility without losing your confidence?
I m proud of you
I see it clearer than where you sit
If I could ask you anything, I d ask you
How d you do it, for real (Damn)

Tell me how d you do it, oh
For me
For me
If I could ask you anything
Anything
Oh

Tell me how d you do it, oh
For me
For me
If I could ask you anything
Anything
Oh
