I had pockets full of nothing but a heart full of scars Sleeping with my demons, counting cracks in the dark Friends turned ghosts when the money ran dry Truth cuts deeper when it's dressed like a lie Cold nights, no heat, just faith on my chest World on my back, yeah, it put me to the test Voices in my head said: You ain't built for this fight But I talked to God alone every single night Yeah, I walked through hell with no map, no guide Had to learn real quick who was down to ride When the smoke cleared out, I was still on my feet Turned my pain into fire, now it fuels my dream From the ground I rose, yeah, I built my throne Had nothing but faith when I stood alone Now I'm leveling up, see the skyline clear All the weight that I carried disappeared They counted me out, now I'm breaking the mold Turned dust into gold, yeah the story been told I was lost, now I'm found, yeah I paid my dues Now I'm walking in the light with a better view Had my backstabbed, yeah, I felt that blade Smiles turned fake, loyalty just faded Used to trust easy, now I move real wise Read between the lines, see the truth in their eyes Came up from the dirt, yeah, I paved my lane No handouts given, had to grind through pain Now the checks getting bigger, but my soul stay clean Kept my circle tight, now we living that dream I remember days I was down bad, broke Now I'm breathing fresh air where I used to choke Every loss, every scar, every sleepless night Was a step toward the man that I am in this life From the ground I rose, yeah, I built my throne Had nothing but faith when I stood alone Now I'm leveling up, see the skyline clear All the weight that I carried disappeared They counted me out, now I'm breaking the mold Turned dust into gold, yeah the story been told I was lost, now I'm found, yeah I paid my dues Now I'm walking in the light with a better view No silver spoon, I was raised in the storm Had to bleed for the crown just to feel reborn Every scar got a story, every wound got a name But I turned every loss into part of the flame I was down to nothing, now I'm up for real Took the long road out, had to trust God's will Yeah, I did it alone, but I never was solo Had a voice in the silence saying: You gonna go though From the ground I rose, now I touch the sky Every tear that I shed turned to battle cries Now I see new faces, yeah, the love feels right Got a future so bright, had to earn that light They counted me out, now I'm setting the tone Built a life from ashes, made it all my own Yeah I walked through the fire, now I'm standing proof You can lose it all and still find the truth Yeah, came from nothing, now I'm something they can't deny Still got faith in my heart as I'm reaching higher New days, new hope, yeah the vision's clear I ain't looking back, I just level up from here
