Intro – 0:00–0:20] (Yeah…) Look how far I came from nothin’ Street lights buzzin’, dreams still runnin’ They ain’t see the vision, I had to show Believin’ in myself — that’s the way to go ⸻ [Verse 1 – 0:21–1:05] I came from nights with no food, just faith in my chest Mama workin’ doubles, barely gettin’ rest Cold winters, no heat, just a blanket of pain But I swore to myself I’d never live the same Every “no” that they gave, I took as a dare Every door that slammed, I built stairs Had a dream, had drive, had no handouts Just me, my scars, and a different route I was talkin’ to God through the raindrops Sayin’, “If I fall, don’t let my flame stop” Now I’m proof that a vision can grow All it takes is belief in your soul ⸻ [Hook – 1:06–1:35] I made it out the mud, I made it out the pain Turned my losses into lessons, now I’m never the same They ain’t believe, but I already know Believin’ in yourself is the way to go Now I’m standin’ tall, yeah, I found my light Used to pray for peace in the coldest nights Ain’t no fear, no hate, no foldin’ slow Believin’ in yourself is the way to go ⸻ [Verse 2 – 1:36–2:10] See, they laughed when I said I’d make it out the block Now they clap when I’m standin’ at the top But they don’t see the pain in the climb Every tear turned into a line I lost friends, lost time, but found truth You don’t need the crowd — you just need proof That the gift you got was born in the struggle That the crown you wear came from the hustle Now I’m givin’ back to the ones still dreamin’ Tellin’ every kid: “Your pain got meanin’” It’s the fire inside that make you glow Yeah, self-belief — that’s the code ⸻ [Hook – 2:11–2:40] I made it out the mud, I made it out the pain Turned my losses into lessons, now I’m never the same They ain’t believe, but I already know Believin’ in yourself is the way to go Now I’m standin’ tall, yeah, I found my light Used to pray for peace in the coldest nights Ain’t no fear, no hate, no foldin’ slow Believin’ in yourself is the way to go ⸻ [Bridge – 2:41–2:55] If you fall, get up, don’t fold Your story worth more than gold Don’t let ‘em tell you you can’t shine You the author, the pen, the line ⸻ [Final Hook / Outro – 2:56–3:15] I made it out the streets, now the world gon’ see What can happen when you just believe They doubted me then, but I kept my soul Believin’ in yourself — that’s the way to go Yeah, that’s the way to go… (That’s the way to go…) Believe in yourself — that’s the way to go
