[Intro (piano)]
Yeah…
They talk about where they at…
Let me tell you where I came from.
[Verse 1]
Try starting out at the bottom, dish pit at eighteen,
Water on the floor, no vision, just a daydream.
Hands in the sink, trying to figure life out,
Now I’m running shifts while they still chasing clout.
Twenty-one managing, learning on the fly,
Pressure on my back but I never let it slide.
Three different spots by twenty-four…
Tell me who you know really built it like that before?
I ain’t skip steps, I lived every one,
Every late night just to see the sun.
Now I’m aiming higher, I ain’t even done…
Still climbing and I just begun.
[Pre-Chorus]
They talk big, I lived through it…
They want it fast, I built through it.
Every scar got a story in it…
I don’t need to prove it.
[Chorus]
Started from the pit, now I’m standing on it,
Built my life brick by brick, no fronting.
They can talk all day, I don’t hear none of it…
I know what I’ve done with it.
Blessed more than I even know,
Got a life I used to pray for.
I thank God every single day…
For the road that made me this way.
[Verse 2]
Yeah I broke down after love fell apart,
Had to rebuild everything in my heart.
Focused on me, had to learn my worth…
Then God sent someone that reversed the hurt.
Not just anybody, this one feels right,
Future in her eyes when we talk at night.
Talking ‘bout a home, talking ‘bout a life…
While they still lost in a different type.
They talking temporary, I’m talking forever,
Building something real that’ll last through weather.
Big steps forward even when I’m scared…
Fear tapping my shoulder, but I’m not there.
[Pre-Chorus]
He still whispers, I don’t listen…
That voice don’t got permission.
Used to shake me, now it’s distant…
I made my decision.
[Chorus]
Started from the pit, now I’m standing on it,
Built my life brick by brick, no fronting.
They can talk all day, I don’t hear none of it…
I know what I’ve done with it.
Blessed more than I even know,
Got a life I used to pray for.
I thank God every single day…
For the road that made me this way.
[Bridge (stripped, emotional)]
Adopted at birth but I found my place,
Family around me, love in my space.
Friends that stayed when the road got rough…
Yeah… I’ve been blessed enough.
[Final Chorus (big lift)]
Started from the pit, now I’m standing tall,
Every loss I took built me through it all.
They can say what they want, I don’t need the call…
I already got it all.
Blessed more than I ever see,
Got a life that was meant for me.
I thank God every single day…
Bless those I have collabed with…
Thank you God…
