[Chorus]
I can't believe I made it this far
But I was just tryna work hard
'Cause I started with nothing, yeah
I started with nothin', yeah
I can't believe I made it this far
But I was just tryna work hard
'Cause I started with nothin', yeah
I started with nothin', yeah
I told 'em believe in my grind
But people didn't pay me no mind
'Cause I started with nothin', yeah
I started with nothin', yeah

[Verse]
Wish my mother could see me right now
Wish my grandmas could see me right now
I'd do anything to see they smile
Rest in peace, I ain't see them in a while
Since my moms died I've been on my own
Lil' n***a holdin' down home
A teenager feeling like he grown
I'm too deep to feel like I'm alone
Do you remember?
I was makin' cassette tapes, do you remember?
How you said I should've pressed play, but you would never
Give me a chance, but rather listen what you call it
Sometimes the people close to you is the least supportive
I'm wishin' on shinin' stars and reaching for them
Real n***as live through me and I'm speakin' for them
Curb the bullshit and just stack paper
'Cause n***as don't help you, they just want favors
All of that fake love shit is what I don't like
Strangers show more love than people I knew my whole life
I still hit the block, smoke weed and role dice
Hungry for success even on a slow night
[Chorus]
I can't believe I made it this far
But I was just tryna work hard
'Cause I started with nothin', yeah
I started with nothin', yeah
I told 'em believe in my grind
When people didn't pay me no mind
'Cause I started with nothin', yeah
I started with nothin', yeah
