[Intro] Yeah… This one for everybody who came from humble beginnings. If you know what it means to make something out of almost nothing… This one’s for you. [Verse 1] Didn’t have steak on the table every night, Just butter and rice, but we still slept right. Oatmeal in the morning, no sugar in the bowl, Mama said, “Keep your faith,” that fed my soul. Hand-me-down shoes, holes in my jeans, Still had big hopes and even bigger dreams. Never had much, but we always had love, That’s the kind of wealth sent from above. [Pre-Chorus] We learned to smile through the hard times, Turned little blessings into gold mines. Every struggle made us who we are, Now we’re shining like a brand-new star. [Chorus] We came from butter and rice, Made it through by sacrificing nights. Oatmeal plain, but our spirits stayed sweet, Now we’re standing on our own two feet. If your cup is full, don’t let it stop there, Lift somebody up, show somebody care. ’Cause one small act can change a life, Remember where you came from… butter and rice. [Verse 2] Now the fridge stay full, we can bless the block, Sharing every meal around the clock. No one’s left behind when we’re breaking bread, Helping hands are stronger than the words we said. See a hungry child? Don’t just walk away, You could be the answer to somebody’s day. We all rise higher when we give instead, Love fills hearts more than money ever did. [Bridge] Don’t forget the nights you prayed for more, Sleeping on a dream with a worn-out floor. Now you’re living what you once believed, Be the blessing that you prayed to receive. [Rap Verse] I remember empty cabinets, counting every dime, Mama stretched a dollar like it paused the hands of time. No complaints, just gratitude inside the house, We learned that real riches ain’t about the amount. Now I’m passing plates instead of passing by, Looking in the eyes of people wondering why. I tell ‘em, “Hold on, your season’s gonna change,” Hope is worth more than a pocket full of change. [Final Chorus] We came from butter and rice, Now we’re living proof that dreams come alive. From oatmeal plain to a table that’s wide, There’s always enough when you share with pride. Open your heart, open your hands, Help your neighbor whenever you can. The greatest treasure isn’t what you own… It’s making sure nobody struggles alone. [Outro] So if you’ve been blessed… pass it on. If you’ve got enough… share it. Because somebody’s story today Might sound just like yours did yesterday.
