[Verse 1]
I slept on the floor
With the rent past due
Cold coffee, thin walls
And a cracked-up view
They said "stay there"
Like I had no name
But I learned that hurt
Can turn into flame
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept my head low
Kept my hands dirty
Every hit I took
Made me hungrier
You can shut one door
I come through the frame
I was made in the bottom
Now I know my name
[Chorus]
From the bottom up
I came back swinging
From the bottom up
Hear the whole room singing
I was down in the mud
Now I'm on my feet
From the bottom up
You can't break me
[Verse 2]
Broken porch steps
And a mother tired
Bare-knuckled days
With a borrowed fire
Every bruise I wore
Was a lesson learned
I built this heart
From the things I burned
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept my eyes on
What they said was never
Turned every dead end
Into something better
You can count me out
I don't mind that game
I was made in the bottom
Now I know my name
[Chorus]
From the bottom up
I came back swinging
From the bottom up
Hear the whole room singing
I was down in the mud
Now I'm on my feet
From the bottom up
You can't break me
[Bridge]
Look at me now
Hands full of scars
Still standing here
Still chasing stars
I lost a lot
But I kept my soul
What tried to bury me
Made me whole
[Final Chorus]
From the bottom up
I came back swinging
From the bottom up
Hear the whole room singing
I was down in the mud
Now I'm on my feet
From the bottom up
You can't break me
From the bottom up
I came back roaring
From the bottom up
Yeah, I'm still climbing
I was down in the dark
Now I see the peak
From the bottom up
You can't break me
