[Verse 1] I was counting coins in a cracked blue cup Mama said, "Baby, keep your chin up" Cold floor, thin walls, one light above Empty fridge, full heart, still I showed up Hand-me-down shoes, toe caps worn thin Learned how to smile when the rain came in Late rent stress, red stamps, same old shame But I wrote my name like I owned that page [Pre-Chorus] They said "stay low" I said "watch me" Took every bruise Turned it to a key No silver spoon Just grit in my teeth Built from the ground Now the ground knows me [Chorus] From nothing to something Watch me, I rise From nothing to something Right before your eyes From nothing to something I came alive (came alive) From nothing to something Say it with me now [Verse 2] Bus stop mornings, wallet all flat Still I kept moving, never looked back Worked two jobs, still I needed three Paid with my sweat and a little belief Every closed door made my hands stronger Every dark day made my stride longer I was a seed in a hard, dry seam Now I break through walls like a thunder stream [Pre-Chorus] They said "stay low" I said "watch me" Took every bruise Turned it to a key No silver spoon Just grit in my teeth Built from the ground Now the ground knows me [Chorus] From nothing to something Watch me, I rise From nothing to something Right before your eyes From nothing to something I came alive (came alive) From nothing to something Say it with me now [Bridge] Look at my hands Look what I made Out of the ash Out of the rain I know the weight I know the cost I held my ground I never got lost [Final Chorus] From nothing to something Watch me, I rise From nothing to something Right before your eyes From nothing to something I came alive (came alive) From nothing to something This is my time From nothing to something I built this life (built this life) From nothing to something Say it with me now
