[Intro]

Yeah, crazy we made it here

Craig, the fans, the whole A-Team

We're on our way


[Verse 1]

Started buildin' from the bottom

The whole world was tryna stop it

Kept my head up 'cause I always knew backwards wasn't an option

And now I feel we got this

Yeah, I know we got this

I'll never stop till we're bigger than life, that's a promise

'Cause I wasn't born to this life to take a seat on the sidelines

I was meant to play the game until that shit was all mine

So let the fans lift me up, take me where I need to be

Now I'm ridin' on the shoulders of those who believed in me

And yes, the view from up here is amazing

Who woulda guessed I would be blessed to be the one to graze it?

Sorry to the ones that still have trouble tryna face it

But when you're lookin' down from where I'm at, the hate is faceless


[Verse 2]

Almost two years ago, she created a monster

Started a success story—me being the author

Became the most versatile, spittin' on the come-up

Grindin' in the studio, workin' sunset to sunup

Used to fill out applications, now I fill out interviews

Now every single that I drop on YouTube is big news

And I know that we would be here, just was hopin' a little faster

But I'm happy with this paradise I made from a disaster

Used to tell me all the reasons I was doomed in all my hopes

Critique my every little problem, put me on the microscopes

Now I realize it's alright, they gave me fuel for the fight

Now I know to never take for granted standin' in these lights


[Outro]

Now I know why they call it paradise

You gotta road to take the sacrifice

God damn, it's been a lotta work

But I owe it to my fans

You're the world of my worth
