FROM THE BOTTOM [Intro] (Yeah…) They only see the shine now, They never saw the struggle. This one’s for the broken, The betrayed, The survivors. [Verse 1] Mama cried in the kitchen, bills stacked to the ceiling, I was young but I could feel the pressure she was feeling. Cold nights, empty plates, trying not to complain, Looking out the window asking God to ease the pain. Had a girl I would die for, put my trust in her hands, Found out love can disappear quicker than plans. Every promise she made turned to smoke in the wind, I was losing my heart while pretending to win. Friends switched sides when the money got tight, Funny how they disappeared when I needed them at night. Everybody loves you when you’re finally on top, But they don’t see the tears that were falling nonstop. [Pre-Chorus] I was down, down, Had my back on the wall. Nobody answered when I made the call. Now I’m up, up, Still carrying scars. Turned my pain into fuel and my wounds into stars. [Chorus] I came from the bottom where hope felt far away, Now I’m counting blessings where I used to count the days. Love lied, friends changed, dreams almost died, But I kept moving forward with the fire inside. I was poor in my pockets, Now I’m rich in my soul. And the money finally followed When I focused on my goals. Through the heartbreak and the rain, Through the losses and the pain, I learned nothing lasts forever, But the hustle remains. [Verse 2] Used to walk through the city with holes in my shoes, Now they ask me for advice like I never paid dues. Everybody sees the win but they miss the sacrifice, All the lonely nights working while they partied all night. Some people love the spotlight, Some people love the fame, I just wanted enough money so my family could change. Bought my mama what she dreamed of, Put a smile on her face, That’s a feeling no designer brand could ever replace. The same people talking down now they calling my phone, Acting like they always knew that I’d be sitting on a throne. But success taught me something I can never forget: The real ones stay beside you when you haven’t won yet. [Bridge] Money can’t buy loyalty. Money can’t buy peace. Money can’t heal every wound, But it can bring relief. So I thank every struggle, Every loss, every scar. Without those dark roads, I would’ve never come this far. [Final Chorus] I came from the bottom where hope felt far away, Now I’m counting blessings where I used to count the days. Love lied, friends changed, dreams almost died, But I kept moving forward with the fire inside. I was poor in my pockets, Now I’m rich in my soul. And the money finally followed When I focused on my goals. Through the heartbreak and the rain, Through the losses and the pain, I learned nothing lasts forever, But the hustle remains. [Outro] From the bottom… To the top… Still humble… Still hungry… Still standing… Yeah.
