Lyrics
Came from nothing, lost myself, almost disappeared, but I'm still here
Lil Sudri, I'm not done yet
I came from nothing, now I'm building
Lost myself, but I'm still living
Death knew my name, couldn't finish
I'm still here, I'm still beginning
From nowhere to somewhere, watch me rise
From surviving to building a life
They can know every scar I hide
But they don't get to choose how I die
I'm building, I'm building
Lil Sudri, I'm still building
Came from very little, made mistakes and paid the cost
Loved people, lost people, watched pieces of me get lost
Addiction promised comfort, then it stole my time
Damaged trust and relationships, blurred the way I saw my life
Three prison sentences, cold walls and counted days
Homeless nights, backpack, watching headlights fade
I died once, came close again, felt everything go quiet
No glory in the wreckage, just the people and the price behind it
Lost my mother, words unsaid, my father, questions remain
My daughters are the future, they're the reason that I fight
I don't want to just survive, I want to build a life
I came from nothing, now I'm building
Lost myself, but I'm still living
Death knew my name, couldn't finish
I'm still here, I'm still beginning
From nowhere to somewhere, watch me rise
From surviving to building a life
They can know every scar I hide
But they don't get to choose how I die
I'm building, I'm building
Lil Sudri, I'm still building
Started roofing as a laborer, Arizona burning hot
Asked questions, watched the veterans, learned everything on the job
Learned quality, learned safety, learned to carry weight
Now I'm chasing that foreman spot, then a business with my name
I spent years fixing roofs while my own foundation cracked
Now I'm learning how to rebuild myself and never look back
Every scar became a blueprint, every failure made me stronger
Nothing to something, nowhere to somewhere, I'm still getting farther
I wanted them to know I existed, then what I survived
Now I want my name to mean something because of how I live my life
Mama, I still carry things I wish I could have said
My daughters need a father they can respect
Not perfect, just accountable, still learning every day
I spent my life surviving, now I'm choosing how I stay
I came from nothing, now I'm building
Lost myself, but I'm still living
Death knew my name, couldn't finish
I'm still here, I'm still beginning
From nowhere to somewhere, watch me rise
From surviving to building a life
They can know every scar I hide
But they don't get to choose how I die
I'm building, I'm building
For my daughters, for the life ahead
They know my past, but I write what's next
Lil Sudri, I'm not done yet
They can know where I came from
They can know what I did
They can know what I lost
They don't own the ending
I'm still learning, I'm still building
Lil Sudri, I'm not done yet
