Came from the block, now I'm here
A curb to the boardroom
Told them we was coming, they ain't hear me
But now, we on the way to the top
We on the way to the top, baby I remember cold nights with no heat, no dreams
Just a pocket full of hopes, that's all I believe
But my fam stayed with me
Life told me nah, but I told life wait
While I learned how to make it out of every gate
No gold spoon, just the street and my pride
Left the trap behind to get this ride
Whole hood watched, said I wouldn't make it
But I moved in silence still, they couldn't shake it
Rack up, get the dream, then live it
Every struggle was a lesson, now I'm feeling gifted
From the block to the billboard, now they know my name
Every city, every coast, respect the game
Started with a plan and some faith in my crew
And they see me moving like I always knew
We rise up, I'm putting on for the ones that been with me
From the gutter to the Grammy stage, y 'all gon' feel me
From the block to the billboard, can't stop when we build
Every struggle turned into pure gold
Turn my pain into silk
From the block to the billboard
Success dropping like milk
Now they callin', now they see us
We built this empire on Will
They told me stay in line, but I made my lane
Can from the heart of the block where we train
Never had a cosign, never had to push
Just hustle in my chest and my name in the bush
But I carved out my legacy
From brown pride roots to the billboard climb
Kept my head up high while I worked overtime
Learn from the struggle, move with grace
Now I'm taking my shot, front of the race
We don't beg, we build, stand tall through the doubt
Now my story's what they all talk about
And I do it for the ones who stay ten toes
Now we in the light, and the whole world knows
From the block to the billboard, can't stop what we build
Every struggle turned into pure gold
Turn my pain into silk
From the block to the billboard, success dripping like milk
Now they call it, now they see us
We built this empire on will
From the block to the billboard
We here now
From the block to the billboard
We gon' keep going
Yeah, the struggle turned into legacy
The struggle turned into legacy
From the block to the billboard
