[Verse 1] Started with a leak in the roof And a dream in my chest Mama counted rent twice Still made it look blessed Shoes got holes in the side But I walked like I won Held a spark in my pocket Till the cold night was done Never had a plate served Had to learn, had to grind Every door heard my knock Now they quiet when I climb I was dust on the floor Now I’m weight in the room Every scar on my hand Turned the dark into bloom [Pre-Chorus] I been down, I been low I been broke to the bone Then I built me a lane Stone by stone by stone From the edge to the shine From the no to the yes What they called a small start Look at how it grew legs [Chorus] From nothing to something From nothing to something I turned lean days to gold Now they know my name, yeah From nothing to something From nothing to something I was built in the smoke Now I breathe like flame [Verse 2] Back when the fridge was a drum And the stove stayed cold I was writing my plans On the back of old folds Had a fist full of faith And a pocket of change Every “come back later” Made my hunger get strange I ain’t wait for a hand I made tools out of pain Bent the rain to a roof Made a harvest from grain Now the same ones watching Want a seat at the table But I remember the nights When my hope barely able So I move with the truth And I keep my steps clean What was borrowed by fate I returned with a dream [Pre-Chorus] I been down, I been low I been broke to the bone Then I built me a lane Stone by stone by stone From the edge to the shine From the no to the yes What they called a small start Look at how it grew legs [Chorus] From nothing to something From nothing to something I turned lean days to gold Now they know my name, yeah From nothing to something From nothing to something I was built in the smoke Now I breathe like flame [Bridge] If you see me, see the climb See the cracks that I crossed See the nights I stayed awake When the whole world lost I got roots in the grit I got fire in my stride Every mile I was mine Every loss was a guide [Chorus] From nothing to something From nothing to something I turned lean days to gold Now they know my name, yeah From nothing to something From nothing to something I was built in the smoke Now I breathe like flame
