From the ground up, built my own empire With nothing but a spark, now I'm setting fires Rising from the dirt, where the hustlers roam Turned dreams into reality, made this world my own Ignored all the doubters, the naysayers too Kept my focus sharp, kept my vision true Every late-night session, every sleepless night Fueled by ambition, driven by the fight Friends turned strangers, but it’s all good Learned to navigate alone, like a king should Cut through the noise, stayed on my grind Left the past behind, never pressed rewind Every step a milestone, every move a leap In the trenches of life, promises I keep No shortcuts taken, earned every bit Now they see the success, but not the grit From the blocks to the rooftops, I made my climb No silver spoons, just hustle and time Faces changed, seasons passed, but I stayed the same Eyes on the prize, focused on the game Turned my setbacks into setups for success Every challenge faced, passed every test Didn't need no favors, didn't ask for much Just a chance to prove, and a dream to clutch Now they see the glow, see the victory dance But they missed the nights, I took every chance Sweat and tears, paved my path to gold In this journey of mine, I broke every mold No apologies given, no excuses made I paved my own path, in the game I played For every time they laughed, every time they sneered I rose above it all, facing every fear Now I’m living proof that dreams come true With perseverance and a heart that's true Never lost my way, never lost my fire Climbed every mountain, pushed ever higher For every door that closed, found another way Kept my head high, never went astray In the quiet of the night, in the stillness of dawn I built my empire, from dusk till dawn They see the end result, but not the start The journey of a warrior with a lion's heart Every scar a story, every wound a win In this epic of mine, I begin again To the ones who left, to the ones who stayed To the battles fought, to the dues I paid I stand victorious, unbowed, unbroken In the language of success, my name is spoken No need for validation, no need for praise Just a life lived fully, through every phase From the depths to the heights, I embraced it all In the book of my life, I answered the call
