Yeah Turn the headphones up It’s not about how you start It’s about how you build it From the dirt to the sky Let’s go I remember nights I had nothing but a dream and a doubt No map for the road just a way to get out Had to lock in, focus turn the noise off Too busy making moves, tell 'em "step off" Used to look at the ceiling dreaming of a new ceiling Now I’m waking up with that victorious feeling It’s a marathon, not a sprint I’m pacing the grind Leaving lazy hazy memories behind It’s dedication mental liberation Building up a legacy across the nation Brick by brick I’m laying the foundation No vacations just pure application I got the patience to watch the seeds grow I’m a king I’m a mogul watch the talent show They wanted overnight success I wanted lasting power I’m watering my dreams every single hour Build it up watch it rise from the floor Dedication yeah I’m hungry for more I don’t wait for luck I make my own fate Putting in the work yeah I’m early never late From the ground up yeah I’m building a life I turn the struggle into power I don’t run from the strife Dedicated yeah I’m locked in the zone Building an empire on my own throne My circle got smaller but the vision got clearer Ain't nobody else I gotta face but the mirror Used to be a follower now I’m leading the pack Eyes on the horizon I ain't looking back I took the pain and I turned it into fuel Learned the game now I’m breaking all the rules They said I couldn't so I did it just to see 'em shock Now I’m the one they asking "how you got the block on lock?" It’s blood sweat tears and a whole lot of prayer I’m creating opportunities I’m taking it there I’m investing in myself putting money in the mind If you ain’t growing with me then you getting left behind It’s a new day new dawn new mindset I ain't finished yet haven't seen my best yet So I’m grinding while they sleeping, rising when they falling I’m answering the destiny that’s calling Build it up watch it rise from the floor Dedication yeah I’m hungry for more I don’t wait for luck I make my own fate Putting in the work yeah I’m early never late From the ground up yeah I’m building a life I turn the struggle into power I don’t run from the strife Dedicated yeah I’m locked in the zone Building an empire on my own throne They see the shine but they didn’t see the dark They see the flame but they didn't see the spark It’s all about the hustle it’s all about the grit When they said quit I just tightened up my fit Yeah I tightened up my fit Let 'em know Now the view from the top is a beautiful sight But I’m still working hard in the middle of the night The mission ain’t done I got more to create Building up my family closing up the gate To the negativity to the doubt to the hate I’m focused on the legacy I’m building it great Yeah Yeah, build it up From the ground up Dedication Nothing else matters Keep grinding
