[Verse 1] Back of the class, head low, eyes tired Dreams in my chest burnin' hotter than a wire Everybody laughed when I said I'd go higher Now they see the smoke, askin' who lit the fire Cold nights, no sleep, had the world on my back Built roads from the cracks where they thought I'd collapse Never had a shortcut, never got a free pass Had to fight every mile just to get where I'm at Mama said, "Keep movin', don't fold to the pressure" Life hit hard but it made me tougher than ever Rain on my head but I walked through the weather Now the scars on my skin lookin' more like a treasure [Pre-Chorus] They said slow down I said watch me run They said dream small I said I'm not done [Chorus] I came from the dirt, now I'm touchin' the sky Every loss, every scar taught me how to survive They can talk, they can hate, they can watch from the side But they can't stop a soul when it's built to rise I came from the dirt, now I'm breakin' the chains Turned pain into fuel, turned storms into flames Got my hands on the wheel and my foot in the lane Ain't nobody gonna tell me who I'm gonna be [Verse 2] Used to stare out the window thinkin' maybe someday Now I'm ridin' through the city with my own pathway Every setback turned a dead end into a gateway Every "you can't" became another reason I stayed Never needed luck, I was sharpenin' steel While they talked, I was workin', keepin' both hands on the wheel Now the vision gettin' clear, everything feelin' real And the hunger in my chest still ain't had its fill [Outro] Still climbin' Still fightin' Still standin' through the rain Still breathin' Still dreamin' And I wouldn't change a thing
