Lyrics

Uh yeah
Ain't no handouts, nah
Straight up out the dirt with it
We ain't lucky, we just gritty
Let's go
Momma worked doubles
We was late on the rent
Used to boil up the water
Just to heat up the vents
I was cut from the cloth
That these rappers pretend
Had a dream and a prayer
Now I stack and ascend
Ain't have much
But I kept my pride
Saw the world say "No"
Still I never let it slide
No cable, no ride
Just the drive inside
Now it's label talks poppin'
On a first-class flight
They ain't see the nights
When my stomach was growlin'
Plotting big moves
Now my circle stay solid
Kept faith, kept fire
Never folded or bent
Now I'm up, and I did
It with no percent split
Came up broke
But I hustle like a king
Dreams in my head
Pain under my skin
Raised in the struggle
Now I'm countin' my wins
Built from nothin'
Now I'm all the way in
No cosign, no handouts, no favors
Just sweat on my shirt
And a phone full of papers
The grind don't sleep
And the streets don't cry
So I ride 'til I die
With my head held high
Came up average — not poor, not rich
Had a mattress on the floor
Still I dreamt like a prince
Made a plan with my squad
Just a pack and a pitch
Now we flyin' state-to-state
Like we dodgin' the blitz
It was ramen and Kool-Aid
Shoes with the holes
Now it's meetings in Manhattan
New tags on the clothes
Had to cut a few ties
Let a few bros go
'Cause when envy start creepin'
That's how real ones fold
But I'm built like a tank
Ain't no break in my line
Only L's that I took turned
To lessons in time
From the minor setbacks
To the major grind
Now it's penthouse views
When I'm writin' these lines
Came up broke
But I hustle like a king
Dreams in my head
Pain under my skin
Raised in the struggle
Now I'm countin' my wins
Built from nothin'
Now I'm all the way in
No cosign, no handouts, no favors
Just sweat on my shirt
And a phone full of papers
The grind don't sleep
And the streets don't cry
So I ride 'til I die
With my head held high
They told me stay safe
I said "Stay real"
They told me slow down
I said "Pay bills"
They ain't believe
So I built from scratch
Now I'm eatin' with the team
While they beg for scraps
Yeah
To everybody comin' up from nothin'
This one for you
Keep grindin'
Keep risin'
Built from nothin
We just gettin' started
