From Nothing to Rich

From nothing to something, yeah, I rise

See the struggle in my eyes, now the world’s mine

Started at the bottom, dreams so big, pockets so empty

Hustled every day, no glory, just plenty

Street corners my kingdom, hope was the remedy

Worked my way up, no handouts, only me

Mama cried tears, said life was unfair

But I had fire, knew I was meant to get there

Climbed out the dirt, paved my own way

From poverty’s grip, now I got something to say

Never gave up, kept my faith alive

Battled through storms, now I thrive

From rags to riches, a story so real

This is the path I chose, the deal that I sealed

Rich in my mind, pockets start to fill

Struggles behind, only dreams to fulfill

Money on the line, but I stay true

From poor to power, yeah, I broke through

They laughed at my name, said I’d never make it

But I seen the stars before I could take it

Turned sacrifice into my reward

Now my voice got power, moving accord

Every brick I laid, built my castle

From the dirt, now I’m sitting, eyes full of hassle

Made my own luck, turned my pain into gain

From suffering’s chain to financial fame

Homies in the struggle, now living large

From the streets to the charts, I set the charge

Never forget where I come from, stay humble

From a penny to a fortune, I never stumble

Rich in my mind, pockets start to fill

Struggles behind, only dreams to fulfill

Money on the line, but I stay true

From poor to power, yeah, I broke through

This is my story, from nothing to everything

Hard work’s the key that I’m forever singing

Keep your head up, no matter what you face

Dreams come true, ain’t no time for haste
