Thematically, this track embodies the famed underdog narrative, but it was subject to a lot… Read More [Intro]

Started—

Zombie on the track

[Chorus]

Started from the bottom, now we're here

Started from the bottom, now my whole team fuckin' here

Started from the bottom, now we're here

Started from the bottom, now the whole team here, nigga

Started from the bottom, now we're here

Started from the bottom, now my whole team here, nigga

Started from the bottom, now we're here

Started from the bottom, now the whole team fuckin' here

[Verse 1]

I done kept it real from the jump

Livin' at my momma's house, we'd argue every month

Nigga, I was tryna get it on my own

Workin' all night, traffic on the way home

And my uncle callin' me, like, "Where you at?

I gave you the keys, told you bring it right back”

Nigga, I just think it's funny how it goes

Now I'm on the road, half a million for a show, and we—

[Chorus]

Started from the bottom, now we're here

Started from the bottom, now my whole team fuckin' here

Started from the bottom, now we're here

Started from the bottom, now the whole team here, nigga

Started from the bottom, now we're here

Started from the bottom, now the whole team fuckin' here

Started from the bottom, now we're here

Started from the bottom, now the whole team here, nigga

[Verse 2]

Boys tell stories 'bout the man

Say I never struggled, wasn't hungry, yeah, I doubt it

Nigga, I could turn your boy into the man

There ain't really much out here that's poppin' off without us

Nigga, we just want the credit where it's due

I'ma worry 'bout me, give a fuck about you

Nigga, just as a reminder to myself

I wear every single chain, even when I'm in the house

'Cause we—

[Chorus]

Started from the bottom, now we're here

Started from the bottom, now my whole team fuckin' here

Started from the bottom, now we're here

Started from the bottom, now the whole team here, nigga

[Bridge]

No new niggas, nigga, we don't feel that

Fuck a fake friend, where your real friends at?

We don't like to do too much explainin'

Story stayed the same, I never changed it

No new niggas, nigga, we don't feel that

Fuck a fake friend, where your real friends at?

We don't like to do too much explainin'

Story stayed the same through the money and the fame

'Cause we—

[Chorus]

Started from the bottom, now we're here

Started from the bottom, now my whole team fuckin' here

Started from the bottom, now we're here

Started from the bottom, now the whole team here, nigga

Started from the bottom, now we're here

Started from the bottom, now my whole team here, nigga

Started from the bottom, now we're here

Started from the bottom, now the whole team here, nigga
