[Intro]
Lost it all
Had to crawl
Back up slow
Yeah, they don’t know (uh)
[Verse 1]
I was eatin’ off the dollar menu
Fake friends, they was all on the menu
Slept on floors in my good church clothes
Mascara on the pillow, ain’t nobody ever know
Phone off, had to steal that Wi‑Fi
Prayin’ quiet, tryna hold my pride
Landlord bangin’ on the thin white door
I was hidin’ in the dark, feet cold on the floor
Mama said, “Baby, you stronger than you think”
I was stirrin’ up noodles, watchin’ tears hit the sink
Scrollin’ through pics from the times I was up
Now it’s tap water only in my plastic cup
They laughed when I stumbled, pointed at the fall
Screenshot my L’s, tryna post ‘em all
Now they actin’ like they helped build these walls
Funny how they vanish when you really need a call
[Chorus]
I’m humble ‘cause I know how it feels to lose it all
Had to build it brick by brick from the bottom of the fall
When you see me shinin’, know I bled for every scar
I was prayin’ in the dark, now I’m talkin’ to the stars
I’m humble ‘cause I know, yeah, I know how bad it hurts
Had to turn my broken pieces into somethin’ that could work
So if I ever brag, it’s ‘bout the grind, not what I own
‘Cause I remember havin’ nothin’, but I still ain’t feel alone (yeah)
[Verse 2]
I remember doin’ Uber with the gas on E
Sayin’ “one more trip” ‘til the tank set free
Makeup in the glove box, gettin’ ready at the light
Smilin’ for the world, then I cried at night
I was countin’ every quarter like it’s gold to me
Double shift, triple shift, they ain’t know ‘bout me
Did my hair in the bathroom at my old job
Came out lookin’ put together, heart still robbed
Now I tip the waitress ‘cause I know that feel
Feet hurt, fake smile, tryna make that bill
I don’t flex on the ones still stuck where I was
If you hungry, you can eat, I remember that buzz
Of an empty fridge, echo in the small tin room
I was plantin’ little prayers, didn’t see ‘em bloom
Now the same ones talk down when they see my plate
But I feed who I can, I ain’t servin’ that hate (nah)
[Chorus]
I’m humble ‘cause I know how it feels to lose it all
Had to build it brick by brick from the bottom of the fall
When you see me shinin’, know I bled for every scar
I was prayin’ in the dark, now I’m talkin’ to the stars
I’m humble ‘cause I know, yeah, I know how bad it hurts
Had to turn my broken pieces into somethin’ that could work
So if I ever brag, it’s ‘bout the grind, not what I own
‘Cause I remember havin’ nothin’, but I still ain’t feel alone (ooh)
[Bridge]
Who am I to stunt on the struggle?
When the struggle made me
Who am I to laugh at the hustle?
When the hustle saved me
If I ever switch up, take the crown back, please
‘Cause I’d rather be real than be rich on my knees
[Chorus]
I’m humble ‘cause I know how it feels to lose it all
Had to build it brick by brick from the bottom of the fall
When you see me shinin’, know I bled for every scar
I was prayin’ in the dark, now I’m talkin’ to the stars
I’m humble ‘cause I know, yeah, I know how bad it hurts
Had to turn my broken pieces into somethin’ that could work
So if I ever brag, it’s ‘bout the grind, not what I own
‘Cause I remember hav
