Lyrics

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Yo

Verse 1

Pockets were light back then

Had a dream in my head through the night

Nobody wants the fight

Now I'm building a name out the dust

No handouts no shortcuts no luck

Turned the pain into words on a page

They were laughing now they watch the stage

Broke with a plan and a hunger

Faced my fear and I never went under

Real ones stayed close to the mission

I don't talk much I let actions speak

Big ambition small physique

Every loss put a fire in me

Chorus

We came from humble beginnings nothing was given

Cold nights big dreams had to make a decision

Mum said son keep your head up keep living

Now I'm putting all the pain in the rhythm

No silver spoon we were raised on struggle

Small plate still we learned to hustle

They weren't there when it all crumbled

Now they wanna come close when they see us coming

Post-Chorus

Humble beginnings

Humble beginnings

Yeah we came up from nothing

Humble beginnings

Verse 2

Need a house for the fam

Need a whole new lot

Started with a dream and a beat on the phone

Writing these bars tryna build my own

Roots in the soil got the fire in the chest

Every day that I grind gotta give it my best

Not claiming I'm rich just chasing success

Weight on my shoulders turned to strength in my steps

They don't know what it took they just see what you show

Don't know those nights moving real slow

Planted them seeds now I watch them grow

If the door stays shut find a way make it open

Peace for my people more life for the team

Food on the table more hope in the dream

If you came from the bottom you know what I mean

Built out of struggle still chasing the green

Chorus

We came from humble beginnings nothing was given

Cold nights big dreams had to make a decision

Mum said son keep your head up keep living

Now I'm putting all the pain in the rhythm

No silver spoon we were raised on struggle

Small plate still we learned to hustle

They weren't there when it all crumbled

Now they wanna come close when they see us coming

Post-Chorus

Humble beginnings

Humble beginnings

Yeah we came up from nothing

Humble beginnings

Bridge

Not a gimmick

This is real life

From nothing to something

We keep going

Chorus

We came from humble beginnings nothing was given

Cold nights big dreams had to make a decision

Mum said son keep your head up keep living

Now I'm putting all the pain in the rhythm

Post-Chorus

Humble beginnings

Humble beginnings

Yeah we came up from nothing

Humble beginnings
