Hell-o! My goodness.

I didn't know I was here.

Do you know my name?

(It ain't goin' wrong when you try.)
An affirmation that as long as one makes an effort, even if the outcome is not as expected, it is still worthwhile to try.

Always got to try

No matter how long that shit take,

Whatever stops you from dreaming,

Whatever tries to stop you from living, flip it.

Welcome home,

Cause right now what I have to do is,
A statement of intent or purpose for the current moment.

I've gotta amp myself up as well as you.
An expression of motivation to inspire both the singer and the listener to take action.

So yeah, so what it took me,

Like, maybe two years and shit,
A specific example of how long it may have taken the singer to accomplish a particular goal.

But I'm feeling prepared,
A sense of readiness or confidence in one's abilities to take on a challenge.

You know what I'm saying,

And I'm feeling a little more ready for the world,
An expression of preparedness to face whatever challenges may come in the future.

And less lost, as I once was.

So come on, what you waiting on?

Mwa, uh, yeah.
