Build My Throne

Hook

I had to get it on my own (My own)

Nobody helped me build this throne (Nah)

I went through hell and kept my soul

They switched sides, I changed the code

I got some pain I never show (Never)

A couple things they never know (They don't)

I put my heart into this sh-

Now I can't let nobody close

Verse 1

I came a long way from them nights I was stressin'

Had a head full of dreams and a heart full of lessons

Everybody got advice, ain't nobody got investments

Everybody want the shine, ain't nobody want the pressure

Verse 2

I been through the fire, I was thrown to the wolves

Keep your handouts to yourself, I never take no handouts

They don't understand the sacrifice involved in my plan

They talk like they been in my shoes, but they never been in my dance

Verse 3

I know the road's gonna be rough 'cause I'm used to the potholes

My enemies talk a lot, but I never see no cash flow

I ain't got a Plan B, I'm goin' all out, all in

I can't let my family down, they been down since day one

Verse 4

If I ever need a hand, I know that I can count on God

I can't rely on a human, I won't gamble with the odds

I'm just tryna do my thing and I'ma stick to the facts

If I don't see you, it's because you wasn't there to begin with, that's a fact

Hook

I had to get it on my own (My own)

Nobody helped me build this throne (Build my throne)

I went through hell and kept my soul

They switched sides, I changed the code (Changed the code)

I got some pain I never show (Never show it)

A couple things they never know (Can't let 'em know it)

I put my heart into this sh-

Now I can't let nobody close (Can't let you close)

Verse 5

I ain't tryna be arrogant, I just know what I bring

I done prayed for these blessings, so I'm grateful for everything

When the doors were all closing, I found keys to them openings

I was all by myself when they said it was over for me

Verse 6

Now, my phone ain't gon' stop ringing, everybody got their hand out

Funny how the love change when they see you in demand now

I ain't looking for attention, I don't need to get a stand-out

I just want to keep progressing, I don't need to get a handout

Verse 7

I don't need a co-sign, I don't need no validation

They was sleeping on my grind, now they seeing all my greatness

It's a blessing and a curse when they love you for your greatness

Hoping I can stay humble while they hate me for my greatness

Verse 8

I'ma keep my head level, gotta watch who I be dealing with

There's a lot of fake affection, I can tell when they be reeling in

I don't want nobody handouts, I don't owe nobody nothing

It's my life and I'ma live it, if they don't like it, they can run it
