[Intro]
Ephesians 3:8
"Although I am less than the least of all God's people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ"
[Hook]
Started from the bottom now I'm here
Started from the bottom, I know all about blood, sweat, and tears
Started from the bottom now I'm here
Started from the bottom, screamin' free my people outta there
[Verse 1]
I've been on the ball from the jump
Vroom I've got the motor, I'm a D12 with the tongue
They all stuck up way inside the box
Movin' right on over, they evicted from the top
Used to sleep outside, under the stars and on a box
Had no car and had no cot, they couldn't pay the cost
These rappers be like Costco cause they comin' by the lot
They common like a bu*thole, always sayin' their crap's hot
Speak the truth, boy, Witness fire from my tongue
Spit 'em out, boy, they lukewarm, not cold or hot
Forgive me, God, forgive me, Jesus, I repent
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from sin
Oh no... What have we come to...
Oh my... what has the world come to...
They k**in' in the name, it's hate, machines that rage, they terminate
In mental chains, a new age slave, not many wanna be self made
[Hook]
Started from the bottom now I'm here
Started from the bottom, I know all about blood, sweat, and tears
Started from the bottom now I'm here
Started from the bottom, screamin' free my people outta there
[Verse 2]
Beggars can't be choosers, so I never begged an inch
Less it's from the Bible, then I'll pa** up on your tips
Skip the two cents, food stamps, all I need is salvation
Proved it, with music, Jesus is my biggest fan
Channing Tatum, I'm magic with the mic
Haters, fade 'em, I erase 'em upon sight
They aggravated, everything is gold I write
They devastated, that they couldn't live my life
Boys tell stories 'bout this man
I done heard all types of rumors, never gave a crap
I'mma put this right up on repeat
They just mad they couldn't be living their life as me
[Bridge]
No faux friends, ginga I ain't 'bout that
Don't need fake friends, where your real friends at
I ain't all up in to that hatin'
My story never changed, and my ginga, I'm the same, cuz I..
[Hook]
Started from the bottom now I'm here
Started from the bottom, I know all about blood, sweat, and tears
Started from the bottom now I'm here
Started from the bottom, screamin' free my people outta there
[Verse 3]
I started at the bottom, no quarter, what's a dollar
I bet that i'mma make the top, bet your bottom dollar
I've started and I'll never stop, until my goals accomplished
La de da de da de da, Slide on my haters like ice and toboggans
Murdering nurseries, not an accomplice
Walkin' from Rameses, or it's adoption
Never been overseas, gonna be often
Praisin' The Trinity, preachin' the Gospel
Run it back, back to back, like back in the days
Hit 'em up, return the fav', with flavor like flav
I put in work, and more than days, it's not about the pay
Time will tell, that's on the bank, if this ship floats or sinks
Oh.. I bet that it floats, kid
Here's your notice, I bet that I get noticed, Oh..
Flow the deepest it's an ocean
Rags to riches, not my decision, kid, I was chosen
Oh.. I bet that it floats, kid
Here's your notice, I bet that I get noticed, Oh..
Flow the deepest it's an ocean
Rags to riches, not my decision, kid, I was chosen
[Hook]
Started from the bottom now I'm here
Started from the bottom, I know all about blood, sweat, and tears
Started from the bottom now I'm here
Started from the bottom, screamin' free my people outta there
[Bridge]
No faux friends, ginga I ain't 'bout that
Don't need fake friends, where your real friends at
I ain't all up in to that hatin'
My story never changed, and my ginga, I'm the same, cause I..
[Hook]
Started from the bottom now I'm here
Started from the bottom, I know all about blood, sweat, and tears
Started from the bottom now I'm here
Started from the bottom, screamin' free my people outta there
[Outro]
The bottom, the gutter, the trenches, the sewer
The bottom, the gutter, the trenches, the sewer
The bottom, the gutter, the trenches, the sewer
The bottom, the gutter, the trenches, the sewer...
