[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' nigga 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 niggas live through me and I'm speakin' for them

Curb the bullshit and just stack paper

'Cause niggas 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
