Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Used to count change in the back of the bus

Now I count days that I almost gave up

Mom said, “pray” but the rent said “rush”

Tears in the sink, washing blood from the cuts

Same shirt, three days, still showed up

Dark thoughts, cold nights, still showed love

Friends turned ghosts when the well dried up

I was talking to the ceiling, it was telling me “enough”

[Chorus]

I came from the bottom, yeah, I still got scars

Turned every breakdown into these bars

They never believed, now they watching from afar

Had to lose my way just to know who we are

Pain in my chest, but I still stand tall

If I gotta crawl, I’ma still risk it all

Storm in my head, but I walk through the rain

I turned all of my struggle to a name

[Verse 2]

I was that kid with the quiet headphones

Heart too loud for a small-ass home

Yelling in my pillow so the cops don’t come

Whole block knew we were hanging by a thread some

Felt like I was born with a weight on my back

Trust came cheap, but betrayal came fast

Now I move calm, but I never forget

Every “you won’t make it” put a chip in my neck

[Chorus]

I came from the bottom, yeah, I still got scars

Turned every breakdown into these bars

They never believed, now they watching from afar

Had to lose my way just to know who we are

Pain in my chest, but I still stand tall

If I gotta crawl, I’ma still risk it all

Storm in my head, but I walk through the rain

I turned all of my struggle to a name

[Bridge]

If they knew the nights I cried (oh)

Talking to the dark like “why?”

Now I wear the hurt like pride

Every wound proof I tried, I tried

[Chorus]

I came from the bottom, yeah, I still got scars

Turned every breakdown into these bars

They never believed, now they watching from afar

Had to lose my way just to know who we are

Pain in my chest, but I still stand tall

If I gotta crawl, I’ma still risk it all

Storm in my head, but I walk through the rain

I turned all of my struggle to a name
