Built from Nothing

TITLE: "BUILT FROM NOTHING"

Intro

Yeah...

Uh...

Started with a dream,

Now they see the vision.

Ain't nobody gave me nothing,

Had to make my own position.

Verse 1

Late nights, phone light,

Working while the city's sleeping.

Had a little, wanted more,

Had a reason worth believing.

Everybody talks big,

Till the pressure gets real.

I was learning how to lose

Without forgetting how to feel.

No handouts, no shortcuts,

Just a road full of doubt.

Every time they counted me out,

I found another way out.

Mama said, "Keep going,

Don't let failure be your name."

So I carried every setback

Like another piece of flame.

Pre-Chorus

I was down,

I was low,

Had nowhere else to go.

But I kept that fire burning,

Even when nobody knows.

Now I'm moving,

No brakes,

Every step that I take

Is a reminder of the nights

That I refused to break.

CHORUS

I was built from nothing,

Now I'm something they can see.

Had to fight for every blessing,

Had to bet it all on me.

I don't need their validation,

I don't need their applause.

If I made it through the darkness,

I can handle what comes next.

Built from nothing,

Still got fire in my chest.

Every scar became a lesson,

Every loss became a step.

Let them talk,

Let them doubt,

I'm still finding my way out.

I was built from nothing,

Now I'm building something real.

Verse 2

New day, same hunger,

But the vision getting clearer.

Used to dream about tomorrow,

Now tomorrow getting nearer.

I remember empty pockets,

Walking home beneath the rain.

Telling myself one day

I would never feel that pain.

Had some friends disappear

When the struggle got heavy.

Funny how the room gets smaller

When you stop pretending you're ready.

Now I keep my circle tight,

Keep my word, keep my pace.

I don't need a hundred people

Just a few who know my heart.

Pre-Chorus

I was tired,

I was tested,

Every promise got invested.

When the pressure came around,

I became more determined.

No excuses,

No retreat,

Put the dream beneath my feet.

If the mountain won't move,

Then I'll climb it every week.

CHORUS

I was built from nothing,

Now I'm something they can see.

Had to fight for every blessing,

Had to bet it all on me.

I don't need their validation,

I don't need their applause.

If I made it through the darkness,

I can handle what comes next.

Built from nothing,

Still got fire in my chest.

Every scar became a lesson,

Every loss became a step.

Let them talk,

Let them doubt,

I'm still finding my way out.

I was built from nothing,

Now I'm building something real.

BRIDGE

I don't wanna be famous,

I just wanna be free.

Build a life I can respect,

Be the person I can see.

If I fall, let me fall,

I'll get back on my feet.

Every chapter that was painful

Made the story feel complete.

BREAKDOWN

Yeah...

No silver spoon,

No perfect road.

Just a heavy heart

And a dream to hold.

They saw the struggle,

I saw the chance.

They saw the ending,

I saw the advance.

FINAL CHORUS

I was built from nothing,

Now I'm standing on my own.

Every mile, every failure

Made this road feel like home.

I don't need their validation,

I don't need to prove a thing.

I survived the nights

That tried to take away my dreams.

Built from nothing,

But I'm far from who I was.

Every loss became a lesson,

Every scar became my trust.

Let them talk,

Let them doubt,

I'm still finding my way out.

I was built from nothing,

Now I'm building something real.

OUTRO

Yeah...

Started with nothing...

But nothing wasn't gonna be

Where I ended.

Uh...

Still building.
