Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
From the gutter to the gold, you feel me?
Uh
[Verse 1]
Hand-me-down shoes
Holes in the sole and the side
Mama count coins
Bills pile high like a tide
Fridge light bright
But the shelves stayed bare
Dreams in a notebook
Folded up under the chair
Late bus rides
Windows fog, I draw a crown
Teacher say "aim high"
But they laugh when I look around
Food line long
But the nights even longer
Learned young
Either break or get stronger
So I talk to the sky
Like "Watch what I do"
Turn every 'no'
To a way pushing through
[Pre-Chorus]
Used to pray for a plate
Now we serving the feast
From the crack in the pavement
To a view of the east
They said I wouldn't be nothing
But look at me now
Look at me now
[Chorus]
I came up from nothing, now I’m sitting on the summit
They wrote me off, I rewrote how I run it
From the block to the top, couldn’t box me inside
Now every step I take feel wide
Yeah, I came up from nothing, now I’m living like I love it
Scars on my soul, turned the pain into profit
From the dirt to the throne, had to fight for my shine
All this pressure made this diamond of mine
[Verse 2]
Corner store lights
Change scrape out of my hand
Only vacation
Was my mind leaving the land
Pops dipped out
So the hate ran deep
Turn that heat in my chest
To a fire on the beat
Long nights, one room
Three kids on the floor
Every plan that we made
Started right at that door
Now the passport stamped
Same feet, new sand
Same kid they ignored
Now I feed my whole fam
See the chains on my neck?
That's the weight that I shed
Every link is a lesson
Every shine was a dread
People asking for a secret
Ain’t no code to this view
Stay real, stay hungry
Do the work they won't do
[Pre-Chorus]
Used to pray for a plate
Now we serving the feast
From the crack in the pavement
To a view of the east
They said I wouldn’t be nothing
But look at me now
Look at me now
[Chorus]
I came up from nothing, now I’m sitting on the summit
They wrote me off, I rewrote how I run it
From the block to the top, couldn’t box me inside
Now every step I take feel wide
Yeah, I came up from nothing, now I’m living like I love it
Scars on my soul, turned the pain into profit
From the dirt to the throne, had to fight for my shine
All this pressure made this diamond of mine
[Bridge]
Who would’ve thought from the base of the basement
I’d touch stages, turn cages to placements
Same voice they ignored, now the crowd sing along
From the silence in my chest to a victory song
Head high, back straight, when I step through the crowd
I still see that kid
And I still make him proud
[Chorus]
I came up from nothing, now I’m sitting on the summit
They wrote me off, I rewrote how I run it
From the block to the top, couldn’t box me inside
Now every step I take feel wide
Yeah, I came up from nothing, now I’m living like I love it
Scars on my soul, turned the pain into profit
From the dirt to the throne, had to fight for my shine
All this pressure made this diamond of mine
[Outro]
From the gutter to the gold, yeah I climbed that hill
World tried to break me
But I’m here still
