From The Bottom Up

Yeah, this my story, let's go

From the bottom to the top, no cap

Started from the struggle, now I'm here standing tall

Every scar on my soul got a story to recall

Mama worked three jobs just to keep the lights on

Now I'm shining so bright, turned the pain to a song, uh

Used to pray for the days that I'm living right now

Doubt tried to break me but I never backed down

Took losses, learned lessons, yeah the pressure made diamonds

Now I'm writing my legacy, perfect timing, skrrt

This my life, this my story, every chapter I own

From the dirt to the glory, made a house to a throne

Every fall, every rise, every tear that I cried

Built me into a fighter, now I'm reaching the sky, let's go

Remember nights with no hope, empty pockets, cold streets

Now I'm counting blessings, turning struggles to beats

Lost friends to the game, some to envy and hate

But I kept pushing forward, yeah that's just my fate, gang

They said I wouldn't make it, now they watch how I move

Every step calculated, got nothing to prove, sheesh

This the sound of survival, the anthem of grind

My life in these verses, yeah the truth you gon' find, no cap

This my life, this my story, every chapter I own

From the dirt to the glory, made a house to a throne

Every fall, every rise, every tear that I cried

Built me into a fighter, now I'm reaching the sky, yeah

From the bottom up, that's the only way I know

This my story, and it's just beginning though, it's lit
