[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Hook / Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Hook / Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Final Hook / Outro]
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
