Yo
Listen up, let me take you back in time
To a place where the struggle was only my rhyme
Started from nothing, no fame, no dime
But I had a dream, yeah, it burned inside
Grew up in the streets, where the struggle was real
No silver spoon, just the hunger I could feel
Every obstacle in my way, I'd demolish and kill
Nothing could break me, I had the fire to fulfill
Yo, I feel you, bro, 'cause I walked that same road
No fancy cars, just the weight on my soul
But I knew deep down, I was destined to explode
From the bottom to the top, I was gonna unfold
Picked up the pen, started scribbling lines
Late nights, no sleep, putting in the time
Couldn't afford a studio, so I'd make it mine
Built it brick by brick, yeah that was my prime
We started from nothing, yeah, that was our rise
Through the pain and the struggle, we reached the skies
No handouts or favors, just tears in our eyes
But we kept pushing forward, never compromise
No labels, no deals, just the hunger and will
Spitting rhymes on street corners, feeling the thrill
From open mics to local shows, we'd kill
Every verse, every bar, we were keeping it real
We faced rejection, doubters tried to bring us down
But we used their negativity to fuel our crown
Every setback was just another chance to rebound
We turned the noise into our motivation sound
Yeah, we started from nothing, but we're something now
Can't deny the hustle, can't deny the vow
We built our empire, brick by brick, row by row
And now we're standing tall, yeah, we're here to show
We started from nothing, yeah, that was our rise
Through the pain and the struggle, we reached the skies
No handouts or favors, just tears in our eyes
But we kept pushing forward, never compromise
Now we're on the stage, lights shining bright
Living our dreams, like shooting stars is in the night
But we'll never forget where we come from, that's right
Started from nothing, now we're soaring in flight
To all those who doubted, didn't believe in our quest
We took their doubt and we turned it into our best
No more shadows, we're breaking through the unrest
Started from nothing, now we're at the top of the crest
We started from nothing, yeah, that was our rise
Through the pain and the struggle, we reached for the skies
No handouts or favors, just tears in our eyes
But we kept pushing forward, never compromise
