SELF MADE LYRICS
Started from the Bottom
You can say a pioneer
I was always on my hustle
Even as a cashier
A little cash here
A little cash there
But everyday bills
Made my checks disappear
Bad habits got me tripping
So I’m switching my career
Cause I’m tired of being broke
And living off this welfare
Man I know you been there
I know you’ve been scared
But now it’s time to hustle
Man it’s time to switch gears
Drinking them bottles after bottles
Livin’ that life ain’t solvin’ problems dog (problems dog)
Hit rock bottom like a bum
And now it’s bottoms up (bottoms up)
But I’m back against this wall
ain’t got nowhere to go (where to go)
Tryna’ make my momma proud
Like I’m about it bruh
But it’s hard to get that money when you’re really broke
And nearly can’t pay bills (can’t pay bills)
And it’s hard to get that job
When you ain’t got no skills (got no skills)
Seriously,
I don’t want to bury my dreams
I want to carry my team
I’m looking at various schemes
And multiple income streams
Now me and my team
We chasing our dreams
Dropped everything
On a brand new scheme
Acting like I’m ballin’
But I really wasn’t thinking’
About the fact I‘m fallin’
And my company was sinkin’
I‘m feeling like a dummy
I’m feeling like a mark
My friends were duck and dodging me
When I was at the park
You see I lost a lot of money
So I’m drinking at the bar
And every time my sponsor
Tried to call you know I hit ignore
Now I’m dreaming of the ways
To erase the pain
Escape on a plane
Maybe exit the game
But I had another fate
A vision at the gate
A light shined bright
In my face and said:
WAIT!
You can achieve
Whatever you dream
What you believe
Will eventually be
Success leaves clues
And knowledge leaves keys
Stay focused on the path
Stay focused on the dream
HOOK - SELF MADE
I… Got a vision in my mind (It’s my time)
I’m on a mission, my ambition is to shine (shine)
I sold my television, my decision was to grind (grind)
I moved up out my city, just to catch a different vibe (aight)
I… Knew I had to redefine (hit rewind)
It’s time to figure out a way to leave this life of crime
But these voices in my head, they got me trippin every time
So I’m switching up the picture, now its life by design
First of all, I’m really the not the type that like to lose
But it’s difficult to come up when you can’t afford shoes
My credit was rejected when I tried to buy a suit
So the Salvation Army was the store I had to choose
Growing up in Santa Cruz, a hustler paid dues
Door to door sales burning holes in my shoes
Listen, I was young and being broke is no excuse
It’s the school of hard knocks, where success leaves clues
I’m humble but hungry, in fact, man I’m starvin’
You ever been so hungry you was digging through the garbage? (damn)
Trying to save money, man I’m really trying to start this
At my friends apartment, sleeping on the carpet (the carpet)
Stop this, nonsense, I’m your subconscious
Rise up and conquer your fears like a boss kid
It’s toxic, you had a big dream, but you lost it
Now it’s time to spark up this fire like an arson
I got this, I got this,
I’m ready to unlock this
I’m sick and tired of all this lint I carry up in my pockets,
It’s profits! It’s profits!
I trust in the process
With knowledge, I can duplicate the keys like a locksmith
It’s obvious
I gotta start by changing up my audience...
