[Intro]
Vision on the dash
Name on the plate
Started with a sketch
Now I’m pullin’ out the gate (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Used to ride the bus, cold seat, long way
Scrolling through my phone, saving pics all day
Pinned that truck like a poster in my brain
Said I’m done just dreaming, I’m designing my lane
Overtime shifts, eyes red, no rest
Every check split, some bills, then invest
Took a side hustle, turned it to a stack
Turned a stack to a stash, put the stash in the back
Friends hit the club, I hit the spreadsheet
They bought shots, I bought parts, kept receipts
Garage light humming, plans on the floor
Every bolt in a jar, every upgrade scored (yeah)
[Chorus]
I built this dream truck out of late nights
Out of “keep going” when it ain’t right
Out of broke days, heavy on the pressure
Now I turn the key, feel the paid-in-full pleasure
I built this dream truck, piece by piece
Grind in the grill, faith in the seats
Every mile I roll, every head I touch
Says goals get real when you want it that much (that much)
[Verse 2]
Started with a frame, rust spots, bare bones
Everybody laughed, “Bro, leave that thing alone”
I saw chrome in the dirt, saw shine in the stains
Saw a throne in the cab of that busted-up frame
Saved for the tires, then the lift, then the tune
Skipped new shoes, kept the same old boots
Mom thought I’m crazy, pops said, “Go”
“Build it your way, just don’t sell your soul”
Now the paint so clean make the sky look dull
Leather so fresh you can smell my pull
Hit that driveway, neighbors peek through blinds
Same ones who joked now askin’ for a ride (let’s ride)
[Chorus]
I built this dream truck out of late nights
Out of “keep going” when it ain’t right
Out of broke days, heavy on the pressure
Now I turn the key, feel the paid-in-full pleasure
I built this dream truck, piece by piece
Grind in the grill, faith in the seats
Every mile I roll, every head I touch
Says goals get real when you want it that much (that much)
[Bridge]
This ain’t steel, this is promise in motion
Every turn signal flash is devotion
Every scratch on the bed from the climb up
Proof that I finish what I line up (yeah)
[Chorus]
I built this dream truck out of late nights
Out of “keep going” when it ain’t right
Out of broke days, heavy on the pressure
Now I turn the key, feel the paid-in-full pleasure
I built this dream truck, piece by piece
Grind in the grill, faith in the seats
Now when I pull up, they all hush
‘Cause goals get real when you want it that much (that much)
