Intro

Verse 1
Started out sleeping on a mattress on the floor
Mama pulled doubles and I swore I'd give her more
Every single person that I knew would close the door
Pockets were empty and the rent was due, I was broke
Now they say my name loud in every room I came
I was too proud to tell you back then that it was pain
Had to learn the rules and play the whole damn game
Quitting on my mama woulda been a shame
Every single night I stayed up on the grind
Kept my eyes on what I wanted, kept a steady mind
Left the ones who doubted me a long way behind
Now my own name is on the deal that I signed

Hook
I was built from nothing, nothing
Every scar I carry made me something
Nobody gave me a thing, I did it alone
I was built from nothing, nothing

Verse 2
Counted every dollar, saved up every dime
Never rushed the process, I just took my time
Every step was heavy but I kept on climbing up
Now I look around and all of this is mine
Every bit of dough I made I earned it, yo
Back then you didn't see it, you just didn't know
Now I'm standing here to show you what I know
Climbing up the ladder and I'm never going slow
Through it all I'm still standing, I never ran
Started with no cards in my empty hand
Never told nobody but I had a plan
Mama, look at me, I turned into a man

Hook
I was built from nothing, nothing
Every scar I carry made me something
Nobody gave me a thing, I did it alone
I was built from nothing, nothing

Bridge
Mama, I can see it in your eyes
You believed in me through all the lies
And I promise you I'm gonna rise
I'm older now and finally wise

Hook
I was built from nothing, nothing
Every scar I carry made me something
Nobody gave me a thing, I did it alone
I was built from nothing, nothing

Outro
Everything I got, I made it, I paid
Built from nothing, and I stayed
