Self Made (Freestyle)

Lyrics: James C. Beckley Haha Straight up from the box Sugar Beck baby Self Made with Problems

I'm self made, nigga i'm self paid Get my lines up, get it line up No faking in the hood, no faking in my club i take over the moon Yeah Self Made yeah, I pay my dues no shortcut, no excuse to loose From the ground up, brick by brick I build my life on faith and risk, they see my shine the don’t know the days I’m self made remember my name Rain on my back but still stand tall Learn how ar rise anytime when I fall

Started with silence, nobody clapped for me Cold nights, hard floor, pain was my therapy Mama said “hold on,” tears in her voice still I was chasing dreams while the world stood still Now they see the shine but they never saw the scars Never saw the breakdowns inside borrowed cars Never saw the hunger, stomach touching backbone Had to build myself when I felt that I had no home I’m self made, heart full of pressure Smiling outside but inside getting lesser Friends turned ghosts when the money moved slow Now they wanna ride ‘cause they see the glow I got dreams bigger than the fear in me Still fighting demons that nobody hear in me

Self‑made, self‑employed, I ain’t important or prestigious Long as my family eating, I’m at peace — that’s what the dream is Navigatin’ through this garden, every season got its demons Broke even on the surface, but my purpose breakin’ ceilings I’m solid — hope they see it, even when they don’t believe it Still dreamin’ of arenas, packed out like coliseums Favor on a friend, made my peace with all the ends One day you gon’ see me slide, subtle creepin’ in a Benz I’m with Sugar — that’s my brother, it’s been me and him since then I ain’t talkin’ Ray Leonard, but I’m punchin’ with intent again Self‑made, every statement that I penned, I really meant I’m really him, no ill intent, just me and this pen Not here to offend, every verse creates suspense
