[Verse 1] I came up with a page and a pen Empty fridge, thin walls, boxed in Mama said, "Baby, keep your chin up" I said, "I will," while the rent got tucked in Old shoes, new dreams, same floor Counted every loss, then I counted one more Hands rough, eyes up, I was built for the climb Had to make a spark out of bad luck time [Pre-Chorus] Now look at me Still here, still breathing Took the hits Kept on believing [Chorus] From nothing to something I made my own name From nothing to something I rose through the flame From nothing to something Can you hear that sound? From nothing to something Yeah, I won't back down (from nothing to something) [Verse 2] Late nights, cold lamps, bad pay Still I stacked little wins in a hidden place Two jobs, one bus, no break Every scar on my back was a step I made They said "wait your turn," I said "watch me" Turned doubt to fuel, let it run through me Now my voice hit hard, my steps got weight I learned how to turn "one day" into "today" [Pre-Chorus] Now look at me Still here, still breathing Took the hits Kept on believing [Chorus] From nothing to something I made my own name From nothing to something I rose through the flame From nothing to something Can you hear that sound? From nothing to something Yeah, I won't back down (from nothing to something) [Bridge] I know the dark, I know the door I know the floor that I slept on before If you need proof, I'm standing right here Made a whole world out of sweat and fear [Final Chorus] From nothing to something I made my own name From nothing to something I rose through the flame From nothing to something No, I won't quit now From nothing to something I learned how (from nothing to something)
