[Verse 1] I came from a small place with some big dreams, Youngin’ lookin’ at the world like, “It gotta be more than what I see,” Had some people say they loved me, they ain’t stay around, Funny how you learn who really with you when you leave your town. I done traveled different roads, seen a different life, Had some lonely nights that made me get my vision right, Used to wonder if the struggle ever had an end, Now I understand sometimes you gotta lose to win. I got people that I love dependin’ on me now, So giving up ain’t something I can even think about, I want my daughter growing up and knowing Daddy made a way, And my wife beside me smiling ’cause we made it through the rain. [Chorus] I’m just tryna make it in this world before I’m gone, Turn everything that hurt me into something I can own, I done walked through that rain, I done weathered every storm, Had to lose the old me just to see who I’d become. And if I ever touch a million, it ain’t just for me, I want everybody that I love to finally breathe, ’Cause I remember having dreams nobody else could see— Now I’m chasing something bigger than I ever thought I’d be. [Verse 2] Different cities, different faces, still the same soul, Every mile away from home gave me another goal, I’ve been learning you can’t bring everybody when you grow, Some people only love the version of you that they used to know. So I keep moving, even when my heart heavy, Life hit hard, but somehow I stayed ready, I ain’t asking for the road to ever come easy, Just give me enough strength so my family never need me And I ain’t there. That’s my biggest fear, So every sacrifice gon’ mean something in a couple years, One day we gon’ look around at everything we built, And realize every struggle was the reason we got here. [Chorus] I’m gon’ make it in this world before I’m gone, Turn everything that hurt me into something I can own, Every tear, every loss, every night I felt alone, Was another little piece of the man that I became. And if tomorrow all these dreams finally come true, I’ll remember every person that was there when I went through it, I ain’t chasing all this money just to say that I got rich— I’m just tryna give my family the life I always pictured.
