Verse 1
Matty came from nights with a cracked screen glow,
Cold floor dreams and a heart broke low,
Everybody left when the lights went dim,
But the hunger stayed loud inside of him,
He had plans in his head, no proof in his hand,
Just faith in his veins and dirt on his Vans,
They laughed when he spoke, now they quiet instead,
’Cause he turned every “no” into steps ahead.
Pre-Chorus
From the basement echoes to a city-wide sound,
You don’t rise fast, you crawl from the ground,
He wore that pain like a chain on his chest,
Then snapped it in half, said “I deserve success.”
Chorus
matty260 was coming from the bottom with a heart full of flame,
Then he met Mike Gutta and it all changed lanes,
Two lost souls with a selfmade plan,
Turned broken beginnings to a million-mile brand,
Now they yell “Selfmade” like a war-cry loud,
From nobody nights to a proud-out crowd.
Verse 2
Mike had a fire, Matty had vision,
Same kind of pain, same kind of mission,
No rich dads, no easy route,
Just faith in a dream they wouldn’t throw out,
They talked about life in parking lot dark,
Said “One day they gonna know who we are,”
Now the logo mean more than a name on a tee,
It’s proof to the world what faith can be.
Pre-Chorus
They didn’t copy a wave, they became the tide,
Put truth in their art, put pride in their ride,
When the world said “Wait,” they said “Watch,”
Then lit up the game like a match in the dark.
Chorus
Matty260 was coming from the bottom with a heart full of flame,
Then he met Mike Gutta and it all changed lanes,
Two lost souls with a selfmade plan,
Turned broken beginnings to a million-mile brand,
Now they yell “Selfmade” like a war-cry loud,
From nobody nights to a proud-out crowd.
Bridge
If you down right now and your dream feel fake,
Hear this loud: don’t you break,
Every legend start as a nobody kid,
With a wish too big and a life too strict.
Final Chorus / Outro
Matty and Mike, yeah, history made,
With scarred-up hearts and a selfmade name,
If you play this back when you feel alone,
Know two came up and you not on your own,
From the bottom, from pain, from nights afraid,
To a life that scream “We selfmade.”
⸻
If you want, I can rewrite it in a specific sound (trap, melodic rap, emo rap, drill, etc.) or make a chorus that’s catchier for recording.
