[INTRO]
Yeah…
Came a long way just to stand right here
[VERSE 1]
Used to feel lost in the back of the room
Now every step got me closer to truth
They didn’t see me when I needed the help
Now they see me and they needing me too
I kept it quiet, I built it alone
Turned every doubt into something I own
Nights I was up with my thoughts and my phone
Writing my way to a life that is grown
I took the pain and I made it a plan
Cut off the fake, now I know who I am
If you ain’t there when it’s heavy and slow
You can’t be here when it’s steady and gold
[PRE-HOOK]
I was down but I never stayed there
Cold nights, now it’s heat in the air
They switched sides, I just switched gears
Now the road looking crystal clear
[HOOK]
I’m on my way up, won’t look down now (down now)
Too many nights I was lost, I’m found now (found now)
They tried to block my shine, it’s loud now (loud now)
I’m ten toes in the grind, I’m proud now (proud now)
On my way up, feel the weight lift (weight lift)
Same pain turned into greatness (greatness)
No breaks, I don’t miss my placement
I came from the bottom, I made this
[VERSE 2]
They love you different when they see you rise
Same old smiles but I read the eyes
I don’t need revenge, I just need results
Every closed door made my focus pulse
I kept receipts in the form of wins
Every small step was a larger shift
Now my circle small but the vision big
If it’s not real, I don’t let it live
Punchline hit when the beat drop low:
You weren’t with me then, don’t reach out now
I forgave but I never forgot
That’s why my trust got a higher cost
[BRIDGE]
Yeah… I been through storms, I don’t fear the rain
Every scar got me here today
If you left, that’s your loss to claim
I kept moving, I stayed the same
[FINAL HOOK]
I’m on my way up, won’t look down now
Too many nights I was lost, I’m found now
They tried to block my shine, it’s loud now
I’m ten toes in the grind, I’m proud now
On my way up, feel the weight lift
Same pain turned into greatness
No breaks, I don’t miss my placement
I came from the bottom, I made this
