Lyrics

Didn't fall into this, didn't get no pass,
Didn't have a leg up, didn't kiss no ass.
Every scar on me, yeah, I earned that shit.
They love actin' shocked when I finally win,
Like I woke up lucky, like I cheated the system—
Nah, I bled for this, don't get it twisted.
You see the shine, but you missed the nights
When it was just me, doubt, and a fight…
I built this myself, brick by brick,
While they talked their shit, I was dealin' with it.
I don't owe nobody a goddamn thing,
I made my name when they stayed the same.
If I sound proud, yeah, that's 'cause I am—
I don't need a hand, I had a plan.
Love me or hate me, I don't give a fuck,
I built this myself.
They said slow down, said play it safe,
Said don't rock boats, don't tempt that fate.
But safe don't get you outta that town,
Safe just keeps your feet on the ground.
I took the long road, took the hits,
Took the blame when it went to shit.
Now they ask how I got this far—
Same way I got these fuckin' scars.
I didn't wait for doors to open wide,
I kicked 'em in when they wouldn't try…
I built this myself, brick by brick,
While they talked their shit, I was dealin' with it.
I don't owe nobody a goddamn thing,
I made my name when they stayed the same.
If I sound proud, yeah, that's 'cause I am—
I don't need a hand, I had a plan.
Love me or hate me, I don't give a fuck,
I built this myself.
I remember nights I almost quit,
Almost listened, almost bent.
Glad I didn't, glad I stayed—
Some roads only break the fake.
I built this myself, blood and bone,
When nobody called, I stood alone.
If I lose it all, I'll build again,
'Cause this fire don't fuckin' end.
You can clap, you can doubt, you can wish me luck—
I don't need none of it, I trust my gut.
Say it loud, say it slow—
I built this myself.
