[Intro]
No one saved a place for me
I learned the weight of every door
Hands were raw, pockets empty
Still I came back wanting more
[Verse 1]
I counted coins beneath the kitchen light
Taped my old boots through the night
Every closed sign knew my name
Every cheap shot fed the flame
They saw the floor and called it home
I saw a road I had to own
With a cracked phone and a borrowed ride
I kept one promise tucked inside
[Pre-Chorus]
I won't bow to the distance
I won't bargain with the doubt
If the climb wants blood and patience
I'll give both until I'm out
[Chorus]
From the bottom, watch me rise
Turn the pressure into fire
Every loss became a step
Every no pulled me up higher
I was buried under weight
Now I'm breaking through the stone
From the bottom to the top
I built this with my bones
[Drop]
Break the lock
Take the crown
No retreat
No backing down
From the floor
To the sky
I survived
Now I fly
[Verse 2]
I worked mornings, missed the train
Wore the same shirt through the rain
Kept my hunger in a paper cup
While the whole world said, “Give it up”
Then one small door began to move
One hard chance became my proof
I didn't need a perfect start
I needed nerve and a stubborn heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the old names keep their distance
Let them watch me redraw doubt
I have carried every failure
Now I know how to climb out
[Chorus]
From the bottom, watch me rise
Turn the pressure into fire
Every loss became a step
Every no pulled me up higher
I was buried under weight
Now I'm breaking through the stone
From the bottom to the top
I built this with my bones
[Bridge]
If you see me at the summit
Know the ground beneath my feet
Is the same cold floor that tried to
Make a lesson out of me
I remember every setback
I remember every scar
They were never chains around me
They were proof of who we are
[Final Chorus]
From the bottom, watch me rise
Hear the whole horizon tire
Every loss became a step
Every no pulled me up higher
I was buried under weight
Now I'm standing on my own
From the bottom to the top
I built this with my bones
[Outro]
No handout
No shortcut
Still here
Still rising
