Cherp — Overcame

Ooh, I came up from the bottom, yeah.
They ain't seen me when I needed help, oh.
Now they see the shine and wonder how I made it through the fire by myself.
I was made from the pain, made from the struggle,
Made from the struggle.
Made from the nights I had to pray through the trouble,
Uh— Made from the mud, made from the hustle.
Heart full of scars, but I still learned to love you.
I was made out of nothing, turned into something.
Came from the cold, not a whole block buzzing.
They counted me out, I kept on running.
Look at me now,
I was made out of nothing— Made out of nothing.
Made out of pain.
Made out of losses.
Made me a name.
Made out of nothing.
Made out of pain.
I came from the bottom and still overcame it.
What's your life like?
Can you relate to the struggle?
Having a mom or dad, never saying they love you.
The game is the game, can't stay in the huddle.
It's kill or be killed when you play in the jungle.
If God love me like y'all say, why He don't show it a lot?
How could I not be solid?
I was known for the wrong 'til I got 1008.
Now I'm making them blocks,
Had 'em praying to the East like they was making shalot.
Superhero in my hood, never changed in the booth once.
R.L.
Styne, these stories'll give you goosebumps.
Scarred from a life that I couldn't deny.
I was on my job, suckers couldn't apply.
What's your life like?
I was made from the pain, made from the struggle,
Made from the struggle.
Made from the nights I had to pray through the trouble,
Uh— Made from the mud, made from the hustle.
Heart full of scars, but I still learned to love you.
I was made out of nothing, turned into something.
Came from the cold, not a whole block buzzing.
They counted me out, I kept on running.
Look at me now,
I was made out of nothing— Made out of nothing.
Made out of pain.
Made out of losses.
Made me a name.
Made out of nothing.
Made out of pain.
I came from the bottom and still overcame it.
Same thing'll make you laugh, make you cry too.
Glad we don't look like what we survived through.
How could you speak for a hater if you never been?
Street pharmacy, the fiends need they medicine.
It's funny, school couldn't get me up early.
For that money, baby?
We was 730.
Integrity the right thing when nobody looking.
We ain't have food, did you smell what I'm cooking?
Got my beat popped 'cause my rock steady.
Lil' niggas throwing weight like I'm Bryce Petty.
Devil wasn't controlled.
Somebody prayed for my soul.
Dick and Lee saw that clip and got away from my home.
What's your life like?
I was made from the pain, made from the struggle,
Made from the struggle.
Made from the nights I had to pray through the trouble,
Uh— Made from the mud, made from the hustle.
Heart full of scars, but I still learned to love you.
I was made out of nothing, turned into something.
Came from the cold, not a whole block buzzing.
