Yeah I came from the bottom, now the view getting clearer
Used to doubt my own grind, now the vision in the mirror
Late nights, cold roads, chasing dreams with no fear
If they said I wouldn’t make it, now they wishing I was nearer
I was grinding in the dark where the light don’t stay
Had a pocket full of stress but I prayed for a way
Every loss turned a lesson, every scar turned a map
Now the pain in my chest turn to fire in my rap
They was laughing at the kid with a dream too big
Now the same ones watching every move that I did
I remember being broke, had to stretch every meal
Now I’m chasing bigger goals, tryna see something real
Yeah the pressure make diamonds, that’s the code that I know
If you fall get up twice, that’s the way that you grow
I been fighting my doubts while I’m chasing the throne
Built the hunger in my bones when I felt all alone
Now the city hear the sound when the bassline drop
Every bar like a shot when the beat gon’ knock
I ain’t flexing for the fame, I’m just speaking my truth
Every verse like a scar from the pain of my youth
