[Verse 1]
Started out with nothin’
Just a dream in my hand (oo-yeah!)
Pockets were empty
But I had a master plan (uh-huh!)
Mama said
“Boy
Keep your head up high”
I was chasin’ them clouds
Reachin’ for the sky (oh-wee!)
[Chorus]
From the roots to the sky
We rise
We grow (hey!)
A humble beginning
Now the whole world know (let 'em know!)
Step by step
Yeah
The journey was slow
But look at us now
Man
We steal the show (oo-wee!)
[Verse 2]
Rockin’ hand-me-downs
Yeah
They fit just right (mm-hmm!)
Stayed up late
Dreamin’ big every night (you know it!)
Hustlin’ hard
Keepin’ faith in my grind
Knew one day
The world would catch my shine (shine on!)
[Chorus]
From the roots to the sky
We rise
We grow (oh-yeah!)
A humble beginning
Now the whole world know (say what?)
Step by step
Yeah
The journey was slow
But look at us now
Man
We steal the show (woo!)
[Bridge]
It ain’t about the gold
Nah
It’s about the soul (uh-huh!)
Keepin’ it real
Stayin’ true to the goal (say that!)
West Coast breeze with that G-Funk flow
From nothin’ to somethin’
Now we let it glow (let it glow!)
[Chorus]
From the roots to the sky
We rise
We grow (hey!)
A humble beginning
Now the whole world know (oo-yeah!)
Step by step
Yeah
The journey was slow
But look at us now
Man
We steal the show (oh-wee!)
