From Rags to Riches

From Rags to Riches From rags to riches, I made my way No more long nights, no more dark days Had to grind hard, now my sky ain't gray Now they see me shining, but I paved that way Came up from nothing, they counted me out Struggled for years, had to push through the doubt Late nights dreaming, no food on my plate Now I'm eating good, yeah, life's looking great Mama was crying, the bills piled up Swear I got tired of feeling so stuck Prayed every night just to make a new way Now I sign checks, got no time for delay Told 'em one day, I'd be living this dream Now they all watch, but they didn't believe Had to lose some, just to gain my peace Now my pockets deep, but my soul still free From rags to riches, I made my way No more long nights, no more dark days Had to grind hard, now my sky ain't gray Now they see me shining, but I paved that way Diamonds don't shine if they never had pressure Had to go through it, but it made me better Lost some friends, yeah, the fake ones left Now I move smart, every step is blessed Used to window shop, now I own the store Used to dream small, now I dream for more Put my people on, we gon' eat for life No more pain, only boss moves in sigh No more tears, no more fears Only visions getting clear From the bottom, had to climb Now success is in my mind From rags to riches, I made my way No more long nights, no more dark days Had to grind hard, now my sky ain't gray Now they see me shining, but I paved that way Yeah, yeah, from the ground I rose Every loss I took, man, it helped me grow Now I stand tall, let the whole world know From rags to riches, yeah, that's how it go
