From the bottom

You said I’d never be enough

Said love don’t pay the bills with us

Packed your bags, slammed the door

Left my heart on the kitchen floor

I had dreams bigger than this town

Empty pockets, hand-me-downs

You saw struggle, called it fate

I saw hunger I couldn’t shake

You wanted diamonds, shining bright

I was working through the night

Building something you couldn’t see

Out of dust and broken me

I’m coming up from nothing

From the dirt beneath my nails

From the nights I couldn’t sleep

And the times I almost failed

You walked away when it got rough

Said my grind would never be enough

Now I’m turning pain to something

Watch me rise up from nothing

Yeah it hurt when you let go

But it lit a fire in my bones

Every “you’ll never make it” line

Turned to fuel inside my mind

I remember skipping meals

Chasing dreams that don’t feel real

You wanted comfort, steady ground

I was chasing a different sound

I don’t blame you for the doubt

It’s hard to see when you’re not about

The late nights, the sacrifice

The risk of rolling loaded dice

I’m coming up from nothing

From the cracks inside the wall

From the days they counted me out

Like I’d never stand tall

You walked away when it got rough

Said my grind would never be enough

Now I’m turning pain to something

Watch me rise up from nothing

One day when my name’s in lights

And everything we dreamed feels right

I won’t hate you, I won’t pretend

You weren’t part of how this began

You broke my heart, but not my drive

You left, but I survived

Sometimes love don’t stay

But ambition does

I’m coming up from nothing

From the heartbreak and the doubt

From the nights I lost myself

Trying to figure life out

You saw a man with empty hands

I saw a king without a crown

Now I’m building something bigger

From the ground up

From the bottom

From nothing
