taking control of my life

[Verse 1] Started from my mama's couch, Hundred bucks, that was my route, Scraping change for ramen nights, Now I'm chasing bigger lights. Remember when I missed that call? Job interview, I gave my all, They said "No," I said "I'm good," Built my own thing in the hood. [Chorus] I'm climbing up, never looking back, Got my dreams in a worn-out backpack, Stumbled down but I found my track, Broke dreams and coffee streams, Nothing's ever what it seems, But I'm living out my scenes. [Verse 2] Played guitar in that parking lot, Couple friends, that's all I got, First gig paid me fifty bucks, That's when I learned about my luck. Sister said I'd never make it, Now she's proud, I didn't fake it, Every scar tells a story true, Everything I dreamed came through. Still remember sleeping in my car, Now I'm reaching for that star. [Chorus] I'm climbing up, never looking back, Got my dreams in a worn-out backpack, Stumbled down but I found my track, Broke dreams and coffee streams, Nothing's ever what it seems, But I'm living out my scenes.
