[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
