From Nothing To Something

[Verse 1] Hand-me-down shoes Holes in the toe, kept moving Bus stop dreams at sunrise Cold air, hot mind brewing Phone full of "maybe next time" Inbox full of blue ticks, silence Writing plans on the back of receipts Turned every doubt into science Mama said, "Clock in on time" I said, "I'm building my own time zone" They laughed when I missed those calls Now they call, I let it ring, stay in my zone [Chorus] From nothing to something, I built it in the dark Whole world sleeping while I'm sharpening the heart I was counting every coin, now I'm counting on myself Put the pain in the grind, turned the grind into wealth Yeah, from nothing to something, they gon' say it's luck But they never saw the nights when I refused to give up From nothing to something, every loss got blessed I was broke in the pockets, never broke in the chest [Verse 2] Used to write goals on the bedroom wall Now the landlord asking how I did all that Same kid, same face, same hunger Different walk, different talk, big payback Friends took breaks, I took notes Studied every failure like a blueprint When the world tried to box my story I kicked right through, left a huge print They see the chains, they don't see the chain Of days I linked with pure focus Rain hit the roof, I stayed up, prayed up Turned every "can't" into "watch this" [Chorus] From nothing to something, I built it in the dark Whole world sleeping while I'm sharpening the heart I was counting every coin, now I'm counting on myself Put the pain in the grind, turned the grind into wealth Yeah, from nothing to something, they gon' say it's luck But they never saw the nights when I refused to give up From nothing to something, every loss got blessed I was broke in the pockets, never broke in the chest
