Yeah, I came up from the bottom, had nothin’ but a dream,
Jean Street projects, Daytona Beach scene.
Used to rock cheap clothes, busted soles on my feet,
Now it’s Nikes and Jordans every day of the week.
From the struggle to the hustle, man, I flipped that script,
Big house up in Boston, now I’m livin’ legit.
⸻
(Verse 1)
Grew up poor, mama stretchin’ every last dime,
Hand-me-down shirts, faded jeans, but I still shined.
Mainland High halls where I learned how to survive,
But the streets taught lessons school never could provide.
Jean Street nights, runnin’ wild with the crew,
Tryna make a little money, didn’t care how it grew.
Caught up in the game, made choices I regret,
Bars slammed shut—had to pay back my debt.

(Hook)
Yeah, I came up from the bottom, had nothin’ but a dream,
Jean Street projects, Daytona Beach scene.
Used to rock cheap clothes, busted soles on my feet,
Now it’s Nikes and Jordans every day of the week.
From the struggle to the hustle, man, I flipped that script,
Big house up in Boston, now I’m livin’ legit.
⸻
(Verse 2)
Went in and outta jail, wrong road, wrong crowd,
Lost friends to the streets, some buried in the ground.
But I woke up one day, said this ain’t my fate,
Had to climb out the gutter, had to elevate.
Moved up north, whole life on reset,
Boston skies clearer once you pay off the debt.
Now I’m buildin’ up wealth I never thought I could reach,
Turned my pain into a plan like I practice what I preach.
⸻
(Bridge)
No more stressin’ over rent, no more watchin’ my back,
No more runnin’ dirty routes just to fill up a sack.
Now it’s Jordans on my feet when I walk through the mall,
I remember bein’ broke—now I’m standin’ too tall.
⸻
(Hook – Final)
Yeah, I came up from the bottom, had nothin’ but a dream,
Jean Street projects, Daytona Beach scene.
Used to rock cheap clothes, busted soles on my feet,
Now it’s Nikes and Jordans every day of the week.
From the struggle to the hustle, man, I flipped that script,
Big house up in Boston, now I’m livin’ legit.
From Jean Street to Beantown—yeah, I made that trip.
