[Verse 1]
Ever since I started I've been chasing a dream
Started back in 2014 with making a team
Felt like a director we started making a scene
We're doing in real life what people call make believe
Turning dreams into fairy tales, visions to reality
What I got inside you're never gonna get it out of me
You can try and try again , you can lie and lie again
That don't change the fact that I'm honest and that I'm right again
No tobacco but I'm steady spitting facts
Come at me and watch me do you like Romo you're getting sacked
As the bodies drop left and right, thousand fall by my side
I'm untouched been protected by the most high
Working every day I'm serving to set a precedent
Learning every day I'm certain you'll get the testament
Got a mission and it's heaven sent
Started from the ground up now we on the rise like a tenement

[Hook]
But we started from the ground up
Yeah we started from the ground up
Came from the bottom of barrel
Shot straight to the top like an arrow
But we started from the ground up
Yeah we made it from the ground up
Got an empire you should crown us
And we built it from the ground up
[Verse 2]
Rise and fall, I'm involved
Silent calls, vibrant halls, lines and all
Mindful thoughts, ripe to charge
Right at ya'll, try to stall, life's a ball
It goes round and round and round but keeps rolling
Time just passes you by like those Facebook
Likes you keep scrolling, cards you keep folding
Ya'll be living life on the run like you Bolt and
Ya'll be living life on the run Eric Snowden
Ya'll reading lies every time they bring the polls in
We know the truth and they hate the fact we told them
I've seen the light and you hate the fact I showed them
Yeah buddy now I'm talking to you
You don't need insurance here to get the shots that you're due
I can box I can shoot, time is lost in the muse
I would trust a trust fund before I trust in the news
Ya'll don't get enough done you just hustle and smooch
Bragging how you got a girl man that's nothing to do
Got a dime in my Dms every night that I'm breathing
Loyal through the games like she was here every season
Score undefeated, never the type for tie games
Grinding hard been over-timing for 5 days
Saving up, I'm trying to find a nice place
Somewhere way up in the clouds where the light stays
I just wanna make sure that you all aware of it
We been eating my table has been prepared for us
My favorite dinner been lobster with the asparagus
Make no mistake cuz my confidence isn't arrogance
What can I say man I'm confident in my heritage
If there's a problem my God'll be taking care of it
My angel whites got me feeling flyer than a cherubim
You getting brain, I'm power training my cerebrum
Laws of nature ain't no one defying this homie
Record flights and ain't no one as high as this homie
Broken L5 but still I slide em the disk homie
Got some fire for anyone wanna try out a diss on me
I been stepping up, ya'll don't wanna step to us
Call it preseason if you play with me you're getting cut
Pink slips flying out, you should know what I'm about
Diamond in the rough, even though I'm not a minor now
Pull it out and grow with it, putting on a show with it
This is my birthright, sitting on the throne with it
Never let it go I'm forever in the know with it
Giving God the credit he the reason that I'm so gifted
Never end perpetually on the winning team
People show their true colors when they're getting green
But I'm still true blue, never left the dream
Pushing on until I get it, never gonna leave
[Hook]
But we started from the ground up
Yeah we started from the ground up
Came from the bottom of barrel
Shot straight to the top like an arrow
But we started from the ground up
Yeah we made it from the ground up
Got an empire you should crown us
And we built it from the ground up
