How Bout A Dollar

How about a dollar, pockets full of dust

Cold nights, hard roads, learned who to trust

From the bottom floor, now I’m lookin’ up

Had to fight for mine, never had enough

They laughed when I said I’d make it out

Now I hear my name when they run they mouth

Back then, they ain’t wanna see me win

Now they all tuned in, tryna cash me in

So kick me down, yeah I’ve felt that pain

Dirt on my name, but I won’t change

Try to break me, I won’t fold

Pressure make diamonds outta cold

How about a dollar, watch me turn it gold

From the mud to the throne, yeah I’m takin’ what’s owed

Kick me, stab me, try to leave me broke

I rise every time—yeah I live for the smoke

How about a dollar, now they watch me climb

I been bettin’ on me since the bottom line

You can’t stop this come up, can’t rewrite my road

How about a dollar… watch me turn it gold

They tried to bury me under my past

But I grew roots, now I’m built to last

Scars on my soul, yeah I wear ‘em proud

Turn pain to fuel when it gets too loud

I done lost it all, got it back again

Had to cut ties, even closest friends

When the lights went dark, I stayed lit inside

Now I’m burnin’ bright, ain’t nowhere to hide

Throw me away, I’ll come back strong

Every right I got came from doin’ wrongs

Built this fire they can’t control

Now I’m all gas, yeah I’m all go

How about a dollar, watch me turn it gold

From the mud to the throne, yeah I’m takin’ what’s owed

Kick me, stab me, try to leave me broke

I rise every time—yeah I live for the smoke

How about a dollar, now they watch me climb

I been bettin’ on me since the bottom line

You can’t stop this come up, can’t rewrite my road

How about a dollar… watch me turn it gold

I was down, I was out, I was countin’ my breaths

Now I’m standin’ ten toes, puttin’ pain to rest

Every scar, every loss, every line I crossed

Made a king outta dirt, yeah I paid that cost

You can doubt, you can hate, you can say I won’t

But I did, and I do, and I will, and I don’t

Ever fold, ever break, ever sell my soul

All I needed was a shot… now I’m in control

How about a dollar, watch me turn it gold

From the mud to the throne, yeah I’m takin’ what’s owed

Kick me, stab me, try to leave me broke

I rise every time—yeah I live for the smoke

How about a dollar… yeah remember the name

Came from nothin’, now I’m changin’ the game

You can’t stop this come up, I done carried that load

How about a dollar… watch me turn it gold
